2012 Chinese New Year is coming to an end, in just a blink of an eye.
4 days left and it’s the end of all the ‘duk du ruk tuk duk qiang’.
My love for Chinese New Year increased as my age increased.
It is no doubt one of the most happening festival for us, the Chinese. (:
As you all have known, the first three days of my Chinese New Year is spent rotting at my hometown.
Every year, me and my brother did nothing at our hometown except for rotting.
And my mom did nothing except for playing her mahjong.
Same old routine every year, without fail.
Forced my mom to drive us back to KL earlier on Chor 3 so that we don’t have to rot any longer.
I was all prepared for my day to kick start!
Went to Fatty’s cousin, Je Haw’s opening house to enjoy the Lion Dance, the food, the gamble session, and of course the ang pows given. /hehe
* Oh Hi there!
Fatty’s entire family was there, from grandma to parents to uncles to aunties to cousins!
I was stressed though not as stressed as last year.
And Fatty’s mom gave me an ang pow with a message on it, how nice of her.
I was really happy. (:
On Chor 4, I had my Chinese New Year dinner with Fatty’s maternal side at Cheers Palace just a few minutes away from my house.
We then head over to Alvin’s for some gamble session and I finally get to see Vivien after quite some time.
Was winning until Gavin played with us. I always, ALWAYS lose when he’s around playing with me. PFFT!
Played Chor Dai Di on the 5th and 6th day and surprisingly I won quite a lot.
In fact, it’s the most I’ve ever won from gambling in my entire life. T_T
Also on the 6th day I went to Fatty’s aunt’s to ‘bai nin’ with the family and went to Citta Mall after that.
Where the hell is Citta Mall, I’ve got no idea.
Watched I love Hong Kong 2012 after lunch and the movie disappointed me quite a bit.
To make a comparison with I love Hong Kong 2011, it was 50% less funny.
My Chinese New Year kind of ended right there and then because my life went back to normal.
Except for praying on the 8th day at Sin Sze Si Ya Temple and also ‘Bai Tin Gong’ at Fatty’s during the night.
It was a really small praying ceremony at his place compared to others because his mom wants it simple.
I kind of miss the roast pork I get to eat whenever I ‘Bai Tin Gong’.
I secretly wish that Chinese New Year is all year long.
Then we’ll have all the excuses to eat, gamble, and play like there’s no tomorrow.
Better make full use of the remaining for days and enjoy it to the fullest, if possible. (:
