Oh Finally! Yes, I know that it has not been updated for long, but since the first day of CNY, I thought I should write the next post on the 15th day of CNY. I mean, why not? =p
So how was my Chinese New Year 2010?
As for many, either you headed back to your respective hometowns, or you ended up like me, staying on in Petaling Jaya/KL. So the first day, as tradition and annual customs would suggest, my family and I did the usual visiting to our relative's houses. From our first granduncle all the way down to the 7th granduncle. But before all the visiting started, because that day was a Sunday, my family went to church first. After a great sermon, the "roundings" started.
Nothing much to say, because every year is always the same. Having a lot of tidbits in the first house and by the 3rd house, every year we have pizzas, and because every year the weather is generally very hot, my dad would be sleeping on the couch. (Yes, even sleeping in that particular grandaunt's house is annual, seriously) Even the pizzas are annual, never fail. This year also my uncle from Singapore came up, so bigger crowd and more cousins, more fun. Not to mention, playing DoTA with them (since its the easiest LAN game) until about 3am on Monday morning. Also another annual and a MUST to be played is Pictionary! At night, we will always end up at my 7th granduncle's house for dinner and their specialty food. There, with another younger group of cousins we will always play Pictionary, to a point that I don't even know how it all started, but yea, VERY FUN!
Yes, the first day always filled with annual stuff, but still, it never fails to be enjoyed.
Throughout that whole week of CNY, many were away, people on msn also so much less, and those away were having a good time I'm sure. Sadly, I got stuck at home, so with nothing much to do, I had to finish all my homework lo! Plus peek at some reference books a bit. But that was how sad my Chinese New Year was. During this time, I also finally managed to reformat my mum's com, which I am currently using, because I gave away my previous one for a GREATER CAUSE. Even as school started, my CNY mood was still kicking in, woke up terribly late on Monday, and for the very first time in my whole schooling life, even since kindergarten, I WAS LATE! It was more of a joy than grieve, cool le?
And yes, everyone who was busy having fun and maybe those lazy, perhaps, all were rushing this and that homework, starting to worry about exams and all, such wonderful sight, when I know I personally and safe from all these (except exams).
THIS ONE I SPECIALLY WANT TO MENTION. My late birthday gift was also given during the 15 days! It was a sneaker, Adidas Superstar 2, and its SO FREAKING SPECIAL, that I when I google image it, there isn't any that I can find! So that is how special it is, and THANK YOU to all who put in your part, I really appreciate it, its wonderful! I really cannot hope for more, this is already an addition to another great birthday I had this year.
So as the Chinese New Year festival starts to come to a close, and many taking the long weekend as the great opportunity to study, I on the other hand, ended up watching Book of Eli, and later on, today night, I'm watching Little Big Soldier. I must say, Book of Eli started of pretty blur, rather unsure of where the show is going to go, but I tell you, right at the end, it just simply BLOWS your mind away, gives the WOW factor that I'm still having even as I think of it. Its a very powerful show, I encourage especially all Christians to watch it. I'll do a review on it soon enough.
So that's about how my 15 days of Chinese New Year went about. Started off with all the annual stuff yet still so fun. Followed by nothing-better-to-do, ended up studying, my birthday gift and movies. This year, just seemed a bit more smoother, relax and more calming. I just hope every year gets better!
My 15 days,
Wai Leem
