.aikss.

aiyoh. My blog has been dormant for a pretty long while. I'm sorry to those who read my blog loyally, all of which i can count on my right hand. I think Jo-Anne and WeiKit top that list, i can't seem to think of anyone else who reads my blog. hahahaha...

aiyoh. CPM is taking so much out of us, both time-wise, financially (especially financially), and energy-wise.. Everyone has an obligation to pull out the wallet to support each other, not that I'm in objection..

SUPPORT PROJECT W: A FOUNDATION FOR WOMEN!

.. but seriously.. after this is all over, i'm gonna just lie in my bed, think about nothing, stare at the ceiling, and probably start whining about how bored i am.

crap. i just realised that my room is an absolute total wreck. It looks like a hurricane blew right through it. I can't find the cover to my thumbdrive! argh.!.. oh... wait.. FOUND IT!..

come to think of it, my clothes cupboard is just as messy. Oh god, i'm such a horrible person.

Right now, i feel like i'm weighed down with SOO MUCH work, CPM, Rosalyn's campaign, Katherine's research, moral assignment.. all that.. yet, here i am sitting at the computer, and i'm wondering, shit, why dont i have anything to DO!..

i'm so dead.

"LO, Lo, LO sang!..."

Thirteen pairs of chopsticks (a grand total of twenty-six stakes of wood) dive into a large pile of multicolored crispy bits, raw fish, ginger, and other unrecognizble edibles. Higher, and higher we toss, with bits and pieces flying unceremoniously everywhere like confetti on New Years Day.

All together, this would make my sixth "yee sang" of the Chinese New Year. I have yee sang coming out of my ears man. No joke.

Anyway, had dinner with TheGodmother, AmericanGodfather, UncleYala + Aunty Grace and Wei at the Golden Dragonboat in Imbi.

Only the Chinese can come up with these kinda names. Golden Dragonboat. You can just see the red trimming, gold chinese characters, huge gaudy sculptures, large displays of Chinese ornamentals that just scream LOOK AT ME!.. no wait, DONT look at me..

Halfway through the dinner, these little brats from the table next door start getting fidgety (as little brats usually do) n start hopping and screaming like they just had a coffee fix. Us, Malaysians, i think, are quite used to this atmosphere. Especially in a family restaurant. This is the familiar scene at your average family Chinese restaurant. So, AmericanGodfather starts to get annoyed little by little. And at one point, he just can't take it anymore.

"Ma'am, do you mind if I slap your son?.. No? Coz i WILL slap him if you don't make him sit down."
"...uh.." (Typical young Chinese mother)
"Little boy, will you please sit down. *glares* Sit down, because you're making me very angry *glares and points towards the brat's table ominously*"

o_O

Serves the little brat right.

Some parents should really take more responsibility over their kids. While you're happily yamseng-ing with your buddies, your little gene-pool is running amok, disturbing other people trying to have a good meal.

Yeesh.

.rain during cny.

what the heck..

its not meant to rain during chinese new year.. i think its even in the "unwritten code of chinese new year traditions".

1. MUST wear red.. (if not, you get lecturing from your grandparents)
2. Wish Gong Hei Fatt Choy to every person.. (especially elders.. don't underestimate their power of memorability.. you can be tagged for life as that "rude little child who didnt wish happy chinese new year")
3. Gamble, drink and be merry.. its this time of year that everyone in the family goes wild with mahjong, playing cards, beer and your general wines and spirits.. what.. did u really think all that CNY camaraderie was for real? Oh, it's real alright, it's just alcoholically enhanced..
4. The weather absolutely HAS to be scorching hot. Like hot enough to fry an egg on the road.

BUT

This year.. It starts raining in the evening.. a lovely downcast sky and the usual tropical downpour.. Not that i'm complaining. i mean, i don't like the heat just as much as the next guy. But come on..

Traditions are traditions..

*Tsk tsk

what is this world coming to..
