Ordinary, monotonous, superficial; my blog

Yes, I did mention how much I love Chinese New Year celebrations in my previous post. But, it is also quite

          ………!!!!!!!TORMENTING!!!!!!!…………

I am indeed rather fortunate to be living in a large house with a nice sized garden (grandfather’s house, doesn’t really count as my own, eh?). And people may think a big house is very WAAHH!; but do people really know the truth behind all that CLEANING??? My family doesn’t have a maid toilering around on hands and feet for us like some datins and datuks out there do. tsk tsk…

The one thing that scares me most is the number of windows this house has. HORRIFYING. The fact that there are 3 smokers in my house doesn’t help, and that damn dog! Don’t get me wrong, I love my doggy. Just that it sucks having the floors all dusty after an hour of hardcore mopping. Did I mention how the old and middle age men in my house always wants the house to be "airy"? All windows open through the entire afternoon! Everything in the house is dusty by night fall after a morning of cleaning. Come on. What’s with old people and ventilation? Ah, right, the smoking. tsk tsk..

I can go on and on about the whole cleaning process in my home, but all that dust is begining to crawl into the depths of my skin creating inflamation. AH UH! I am allergic to dust!

How unfortunate…

Another 2 weeks and I’ll be off again to my second home in sweet old 4-seasons-in-a-day Melbourne. But first things first;

CNY is comin’ CNY is comin’!!

I totally look forward to the Chinese New Year every year. Lucky for my family and I, we still have huge gatherings every year. Be it the CNY eve reunion dinner or the next 5 days of CNY. It’s the only time of the year when I get to see all the relatives whom I only see once a year. Clear enough? Haha.

Yea, ‘meet once a year’ relatives. Or during any other celebrations, weddings, funerals, etc etc.. Other than that, it is only once in a year.

In cantonese, I’ll say my CNYs are very "yit-low", if that’s right. It means, noisy, happy, and "WAH, you so big already!I still remember that time when you always followed your Ah Mah for mahjong in my old Kapar road house". I enjoy every bit of it, even though it’s repetitive through out the years. Things will change, eventually. People grow up and grow apart. That is how it is. Good things will come to an end. But there will be other good things to start. Still too early to say, but I will miss it when it’s gone. Old family traditions, huge gatherings and whatnot.

As for now, I am going to enjoy what I have in my life. Live for the present, as the future is yet to be untold.

Gong Hei Fatt Choy! Have a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year!
