It's a past 2pm now, and I'm back from my CNY visiting! Woke at around 11am because my brother and dasao (sister-in-law) were coming over before we visit waipo (maternal grandma). There we met my ahyi's (mum's younger sis) family. I spent a half hour talking to waigong (maternal grandpa). We talked about how I was graduating in 1.5 years, and how I was afraid of coming out to work. He said wait till I graduate before I get married. I said "of course lah~!" Haha. I think what he meant was I can start to plan and save for marriage when I graduate and work. I then asked him about his life when he was my age, and he told me about the prices and lifestyles, and how he got married with waipo when he was 20 and she was 18. Wow and he is 77 now. Well so after awhile we left. And here I am back now at home.

Let's take a look at my ang bao collection:
(I know some people have the tradition of opening their red packets only after all 15 days, but my tradition is to open mine when I come home.)

Mum: $60
uncle: $60
bro + dasao: $50
waipo: $50
waigong: $50
jiujiu + jiumu (mum's elder bro and wife): $24
ah yi + yi zhang: $20

total: $314
I'm filthy rich baybeh.

Ahh so now I'll just stone at home and see if Princess P wants to go out later. Actually I've so many readings to do, but I'm lazy to get started. My house isn't in a mess, but the boxes haven't been unpacked.

Rabbit was very afraid the first few days and nights, and didn't eat much, but we thought of switching on the lights at night so she wouldn't be so afraid, and maybe it did help her adjust and she's back to normal now. Actually not really. I still find her somewhat withdrawn.

With Princess P and 3 of her good friends. She accused me of not wanting to meet them all the time, saying that I always had excuses. I don't. I love her and I wanna know her good friends too. They were pretty easy to get along with and I think I did quite well interacting with them.

The show's a little deep, especially I'm a teeny weeny xenophobic when it comes to Christian / Catholic stuff (trackback: I mentioned I didn't quite enjoy the newest exorcist movie a few months back.) I didn't fully understand the story, but it's nice watching angels and devils, heaven and hell, and of course Keanu Reeves that ultra-suave actor. Special effects were cool too.

We parted with her friends after the show, and Princess P and I sat at her void deck and continue talking till about 415am. Then I drove back home, showered, and watched a little tv and bummed in my room till 6am. And slept.

So I guess my parents will live a little longer now I did my part in the 守岁 tradition huh? For the uninitiated, it's about the children having to stay up as long as they can on the eve of the Chinese New Year so as to prolong the lives of their parents. Think that's about right.

So now I'll go read the papers and wait for time to pass. I'll try to update this more often but till then, have a smashing holiday season and do remember to do your necessary homework (wet blanket or superstitious up to you, but don't use CNY as an excuse to neglect your work. When it piles on you're dead.

Oh no I'm not supposed to say dead. Oh no I did it again! Have fun~! =p
