Well, I am not officially back from my holiday yet, but just thougth of providing some updates to ya’ll…
Basically this CNY is same as the previous ones, because on the CNY eve, my mom, eldest sis and me were taking reunion lunch together, and right after the lunch, sis dashed back to the husband’s side house to prepare the dinner.
See, in Chinese custom, the married daughter should follow the husband, so on the reunion dinner, the wife should follow the husband back to his home for dinner. As the only son in the family, and ever since my father passed away, we have to make do for just two of us having reunion dinner. Eldest sis joining us was in fact a bit of a surprise to me.
Anyway, on the CNY eve, I went out with some friends for some healthy macro-economic discussion(translation: gamble). On the 1st day, we set off to the relatives house (not the relative-relatives, but it was my granny’s, dad side, place) and then we just spent some time there. Fluffy the Great was dressed in a really cute little red shirt (pictures will be available soon). After that, just a sinful dinner with lots of special-recipie cooked pork and such. And then at night, I was off for my series of healthy macro-economic discussion with my friends.
On the 2nd day, my whole family, including my 2nd sis, set off to Genting, and then to Cherating for vacation. I didn’t join them because Maria was coming back so I didn’t want to rush my family for ending the vacation. It was a pity but then, being a good son that I am, I had to sacrifice my own vacation so that I can company Maria (she has no relatives in Malaysia) and not disrupting my family’s vacation.
The conclusion, so far, is that:
1. I have gained shitload of weight due to those sinful but delicious food.
2. I have some luck this year during the healthy macro-economic discussion, so it isn’t a bad year after all.
