Thursday, January 26, 2012 - [CNY 2012]
This year, 2012, I had the most enjoyable Chinese New Year ever. After many years of eating out at some fast food place with only my mom and brother, I had a home to go to.
Instead of having my angpow money banked in by my mom, I had the joy of collecting them myself. This post shall not be too highly descriptive because it was actually a very emotional occasion and I was upset on the three consecutive days.
I shall not forget how I spent my CNY not with my family but with my possibly future family, the Tans [: It doesn’t matter that me and my stubborn boyfriend arrived late for reunion dinner, because we did eat a lovely steamboat at home and his family did eventually come home and it was a happy household.
I forgive my most silly boyfriend for intentionally annoying me on CNY eve, he got his retribution – golden hair. HAHA, of course that made me stay up the whole night, running around searching for dye and begging Ivan for help, to save his destroyed hair.
It doesn’t matter that the rain ruined our plans to go visiting and we ended up going only to one relative’s place where every single dish contained pork. It also doesn’t matter I got punched in the face with my spectacles poking my eyes and giving me a bruise on my nose and naughty yaoyi smashing my spectacles on the floor. I nearly caught a flu running in the rain with Chris but the day was worth it because he won $476 from Blackjack :p
Although I missed the chance to play mahjong against Chris, his papa and da jie, I did force meow to bao my very first da san yuan, which was like the ‘most-awesome-moment-in-my-mahjong-life’.
Even though Chris blatantly lied to me about being on his way home and I had to managed 4 extremely playful kids trying to pluck buttons of Chris’s laptop and destroy the Monopoly electronic calculator and climb to the top bunk without the ladder and transform the bedroom into a ball-pit. It was a fun time, but I got tired.. and it was time for more Blackjack and steamboat teeeheeee.
I was hurt physically, I was left alone, I was caught in the rain, I had a tummy upset, I didn’t sleep for two nights, but it was all worth it because I felt love the proper way a family should have.
Oh yes, how could I forget, even the pre-CNY period was awesome, the days of shopping with Dengyin and Dinnie and my mom were very fulfilling, despite the shocking $86 bill for all my alteration. The last minute shopping with Chris was highly entertaining and satisfying for both of us, because finally I can see my sweetheart in better clothes and he was overflowing with joy from his ‘haul’ in 2hours.
