it's a dog's life year
So, I take it that you've had a great CNY break so far, non?
CNY is a "relatively" (bad pun alert!) peaceful period for me. Every 初一, I'll embark on my annual pilgrimage to my Grandma's (i.e. Mama's Mama), which is always packed with uncles, aunties and my thousand and one cousins from God-knows-where. This is when I put on my retard act of staring blankly at the TV for long periods of time to ward off questions like Where Do You Work?, When Are You Getting Married?, or Who On Earth Are You? Either that or it's the Don't Mess With Me look that I've perfected on those irritating street surveyors along Orchard Road.
Besides my thousand and one cousins, every year we'll see a few additions of newly acquired husbands and wives. Not that I care either, but this year I saw for the first time the hubby of my cousin who attended the same school as me. I was shocked to see him carrying a bible in his hand. For Christ's sake, what was that for? Preaching to a non-Christian household?
Whatever. The rest of the time I'll just stay at home or meet up with friends. If some relatives come visiting, I'll hide in the room most of the time pretending I'm laden with work. I really am, in fact, as I get called up occasionally for late-night board meetings with several district Dry Swimming Federations, like those in Punggol, Serangoon or Mountbatten. I know, I work too hard!
Heheh. Ok, I shall stop this babbling. Boredom gets to me sometimes like the plague. Anyway, here's wishing □□□□ to you. Please fill in the blanks yourself with whichever four-character wish phrase you desire. In times of joy and celebration, we should not forget those in need. Please do contribute 10% of your ang pao money by sending the cheque to A Simple Prop Pte Ltd. I thank you on its behalf.
Ha!
