happy chinese new year ppl!
i didnt have the same level of enthusiasm when i was still a kid towards cny now. this enthusiasm seems to be depreciating as i grow up. as well, the amount of angbao kaching i collected seems to be decreasing though - it is to be expected as u grow up of coz.
the lack of enthusiasm is not of coz because of the kaching, but the lack of activities.
every cny, on the first day, since morning, i will be rushing from place to place, right till after dinner, i will run out of place to go.
in the morning, rushing to prepare myself, then all of us will gather at my paternal grandma's place. it is like an unspoken competition - no one wants to be the last family to arrive.
this year, we are the first. we grumbled to our parents for rushing us (赶鸡赶鸭 as i always put it). after having breakfast, we will wait for others to arrive, then start with the gambling again.
after visiting several families, we will go to my maternal grandma's place for lunch. then its a short gamble again, before dear and i went to his side for visiting.
i never understand why dear is always rushing me, saying its very late and its time to leave for his visiting. they assembled at duno whose place first for lunch, then they will go to this aunt's house, that uncle's house, their own house for visiting, and finally at one of the house for dinner. meaning, if u managed to catch them at one of their houses, u catch them all.
i pointed this to dear every year, but i never managed to get a satisfactory answer.
at least for my side, we go to other ppl houses first, then one of the 15 days will we go to my aunt's place, uncle's place blah blah.
another thing is that, every year at his aunt's/uncle's place, we will just be watching tv. all these 7 years, no gambling at all, except for this year, where everyone is so damn bored that they broke the tradition and played blackjack for the first time.
another first time is that, they all smoke at one of the cousin's balcony.
of coz, some of them have "license" to smoke. people like dear, and his sister, do not have the license, or simply dunwan to let the parents know that they actually smoke.
his sister initially hide her cig box in one of the cousin's car. but she decided to test drive dear's car, so she took the cig back. upon reaching the penthouse (yes, dear's uncle is staying in a penthouse), she "deposit" her cig into my bag, since she didnt bring any bag along. so she gave dear and me some silent signal when she wants to smoke.
they were lazy to go all the way down, so they hid in one of the cousin's room balcony. they have to coordinate with another cousin coz its a shared balcony, and they would need both rooms to be locked so that no one can come in to catch them.
the funny thing is, i duno how come one of the rooms werent locked, and dear's aunt saw him smoking and was terribly shocked! then the nature of gossipy aunty style kicked in and went about announcing to everyone that dear actually smokes! she even complained to his grandma, which made dear rolled his eyes in disgust. haha. luckily for his sis, she hasnt lit up her cig when the aunt came in. thats when they went to make sure the rooms are all locked. hahaha.
not that dear's parents doesnt know he smokes, but he tries not to smoke infront of them, or let other relatives know about it. i can understand, since his aunts are almost as gossipy as my aunts. as for his sis, i dun think the parents know she smokes.
his family also have a strange but logical agreement: his maternal families decided its kind of pointless for them to give angbao, as u 包 to my kids, i 包 to your kids, it all amounts to the same thing. but at the same time, its also a blessing from elders. so, they decided to just 包 $4 to every kid. while his paternal side, they simply dun 包 at all.
meaning to say, dear "earned" alot of kaching when he go visiting with me.
second and third day, we will have no place to go, unless we go to my grandma's place where other people will be there for visiting. but it will be damn boring.
i know i might not look or behave like it, i never have much interest in gambling, especially card games.
i suck at daidi, not that good at blackjack. i lose kaching almost every year if i gamble, except for last year. i dun even have the same patience i used to have for mahjong. i dun quite understand why the most popular and necessary activity during cny is simply gambling. -.-
this year is the first year i joined dear and his family for reunion dinner, and dear joined mine. his family specially have the dinner 1 day earlier just to accomodate me, coz they know my family always have the dinner on the actual day. i was quite touched, and i hope every year they can extend the same generousity.. i would very much want to have reunion dinner with my own family.
its very, hmm.. i wont say its boring, but dear's family reunion dinner is very quiet. they have the dinner at a chinese restaurant at chimjes this year, with just dear's parents, brother and sister. everyone just eat, make some small chat, thats all.
for mine, all of us (including my uncles and all) will gather at my paternal grandma's place for steamboat, with all the kids and all. so its very noisy, but at the same time, the family warmth is there, with everyone joking and teasing and talking across tables. then after the dinner, its the gambling again. -.-
anyway, will try to earn as many angbao as i can, since this is the last year that i can collect.. not that im kaching-minded, but i seriously need some extra kaching. lol!

ok, since im free and easy in office, shall upload some nice songs from my darling 罗志祥's new album..
搞笑
拿一条牙膏 在对我傻笑
嘲笑我永远用不掉
想睡就睡 想闹就闹
好快乐少了人唠叨
蓝色的碗盘 多买了一套
我忘了没人陪我通宵
要多少替代的丑角
无辜的陪笑
才会让我能真的忘了你的好
我在搞笑借着热闹掩盖着心跳
边哭边笑偏要说着一个人真好
当人群散了 突然决得我可以死掉
我受不了
还在搞笑
害怕回家不知怎么熬
怎么多年早就习惯有你的撒娇
我想我能熬 但是至少能让我知道
你好不好
我们的小狗 食量变好小
眼神里常常显的无聊
它喜欢睡觉的床位 少了一双脚
所以它常常看着门口睡不着
我在搞笑借着热闹掩盖着心跳
边哭边笑偏要说着一个人真好
当人群散了 突然决得我可以死掉
我受不了
我在搞笑
却在最后眼泪拼命掉
你的离开失去多少我计算不了
忙完了一天 突然觉得我何必辛劳
对谁炫耀
还在搞笑是否拥有麻痹的疗效
唱一夜歌却避不开催泪的曲调
我这夜胡闹 希望听到有人会提到
你好不好
幸福不灭 (MV not out yet)
没原因就是喜欢你
在初次相遇有重逢的心情
深呼吸让心动隐形
完美的爱情是无声的旋律
听我听你不确定的语气
等我等你放下你的犹豫
嘿如果你轻轻闭上眼睛
我会明白你做的决定
Cause I Believe 那幸福不灭的定律
在你手心 会有谁给你的美丽
静者恒静 就让我的心安静地 守着你
祝福不用回音
没原因就是喜欢你
就像海眷恋天空般的心情
你前进看着你背影
就足够世界无条件的放晴
你如果已爱上他的姓名
爱如果已没有我的空隙
嘿只要你可以永远开心
我会情愿渐渐被忘记
Cause I Believe 那幸福不灭的定律
在你手心会 有谁给你的美丽
静者恒静 就让我的心安静地 守着你
把祝福送给你
Oh I believe
Cause I believe
那幸福不灭的定律
你的手心 不一定要由我握紧
就像恒星 总会有发光的原因
Oh I believe
你值得被珍惜
也值得我放弃
Woo~~
第二顺位 (MV not out yet too)
一次是我陪你去躲回忆里的雨
你无心的叹息
有心碎的声音
他的好 他的坏他的不安定
他的故事
是我和你 爱情里的乌云
从我爱上爱他的你 那个瞬间起
一直是雨天
你只爱雨天 我用伞保护你
亲吻着 你苦涩味道的微笑
闭着眼睛
我明白你 想念他的秘密
我一直在第二顺位爱着你
一直从雨天
一直到阴天
一直到今天你逃离过去
我一直在第二顺位等着你
一直从昨天
一直到今天
一直到永远我相信是我最 爱你
聆聽你說 抱歉多過 你說我愛你
你困在雨裡
我困在雨裡 我的傘 濕淋淋
"没关系" 是我最常说的一句
就让我等 就算我冷
至少我陪着你
我一直在第二顺位爱着你
一直从雨天
一直到阴天
一直到今天你逃离过去
我一直在第二顺位等着你
一直从昨天
一直到今天
一直到永远我相信是我最 爱你
我一直在第二顺位爱着你
一直从雨天
一直到阴天
一直到今天你逃离过去
我一直在第二顺位等着你
一直从昨天
一直到今天
一直到永远我相信是我最 爱你

happy new year everyone, my apologies for the late greeting.
just 6 days into the new year, and i've already heard some very bad news.
im not going to get into much details, but just feel very shocked..
its funny how things turn out, how one can change or perhaps, he or she is not what they seems to be.
anyway, this year will be a very busy year for dear and me. lots of things to be done, to be prepared, to be planned. lots of things to save up for - we have even put away with our taiwan trip, though they were saying to go to a nearby and cheaper place. the only problem is me, coz im really reluctant to go overseas, as it means that kaching will be involved, even if theres no shopping places or we can all share our food and accomodation.
work has not been 100% smooth-sailing, been encountering some issues that came back to haunt me after sometime. oh well, thats life i guess.
