For a week

Sunday, February 6th, 2005 @ 6:30 pm | Diary-writer

Well. It's been a long time since I celebrated the new year in Mum's hometown. So I'll be off for several days. This is what I will be looking forward to:

1. Angpaus.
2. Seeing my granny. (Look, I see my granny a few times a year, so the angpaus are slightly more important here).
3. The gambling sessions. (My youngest uncle has bragged about turning the family home into a casino for all ages. Been summoned to bring more cash. Well. This should come in with the angpaus).
4. The BBQ night. (My second youngest uncle has bragged about turning the family basketball court—yes, there is a basketball court in my grandmum's new house—into a BBQ party area on Day 3. Can't wait!!!).
5. The daily pig-outs. (CNY is ALWAYS about food. Yum yum!)

The things I'm not looking forward to:

1. The almost-certain weight gain. (I'm preparing for damage control, nonetheless. Even if it most prolly won't work).
2. The 'for sure' question from my aunties and uncles, 'Eh when are you bringing your boyfriend home?' (Every year it's the same thing, whether or not I balik kampung)
3. That other question, 'When am I getting an ang pau from you?' (Well. Not until I get married. Which doesn't look probable anytime soon.)

But it's a trip I'm looking forward to. Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

    I received an SMS from a lansi Datuk. His message was like… “Datuk Soandso and Datin Soandso wish you a Happy… blah blah”. I mean so lansi right? Why must put the Datuk and Datin in the SMS. Just be a bit humble and use name enough. If they are truly respectable Datuk and Datin… surely people will call them by their proper “gelaran”.

    Anyway… the best part is. He totally made a fool of himself because his SMS ended with… year of the Roaster. *cough* not rooster. So shy. Datuk can’t spell for nuts.
