gong xi fa cai!!

ok it's not exactly CNY yet. it's like..3 days away? yayyy so exciting. i love CNY as much as i love christmas!!

8 reasons why we should love CNY:

1. it's a holiday!! 2 days of missing school. wheeeeeeee!

2. reunion dinners. errr, the steamboat part that is. i can sit at the table for hours just cooking and eating and cooking and eating and cooking and eating.....

3. red packets! not say i get alot la. some of my relatives can be really kiam gus. but then again, it's free money so i shall not complain.

4. visiting. err actually it's the collecting of angbaos that i enjoy, not the visiting bit. in fact it's quite torturous. every year i get bombarded with the same qns/statements. "are u graduating soon??" "still studying ar!" "wahhh so tall already!!" "where's your boyfriend!!" "wahhh so pretty like your mom!!" (i can't tell if that's a compliment) "what are u gonna do after u graduate??" "so what are u studying/doing now??"

bahhhh like shuddup already.

5. chinatown!! ok it's like damn crowded and hot and sticky and sometimes smelly, but i actually enjoy mingling with the crowd and embracing the festive mood with everyone else.

6. River hongbao at marina promenade. i love the fireworks actually. hahahah. which only happens on the official opening of it on chinese new year's eve i think. i missed it last year!!boohooooooo. but it's really fun to walk through it too. it's the festive mood i tell u.

7. chinese new year songs!! ok as cheesy as some of them can be, i actually enjoy them as much as christmas songs too. brings out the chinagirl in me. hurhur.

8. and finally, chinese new year goodies!! from ba gua to pineapple tarts to gua zi to sweets to love letters to erm, the white powdery biscuit thingy to mandarin oranges (yes i eat them after i'm done bai nian-ing) to i-can't-think-of-anymore. yummmm :p

ok i'm getting hungry.

btw i'm losing weight even though i'm eating like, at least 4 meals a day?? wat the hell is wrong with me!!!! it's quite worrying. i'm 44.5 kg!! this is baaaaadddd. i'm supposed to be gaining weight!! i'm supposed to be an ideal 47kg!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

i shall stuff myself silly during CNY.

last week was a pretty miserable week but i'm glad things are much better this week. i think i think too much (eh why does the sentence sound funny). ok anyway, i shall learn to take things easy and chill if not one day i'm just gonna die from hyperventilating.

and thank god i had pple like jen, zhuhaoooo, ben, gao and liyan for listening to my whinessss and complains. i love u peeeeeps! :)

and of coz the bf too! i think he suffered the most. hurhur. the sleeves of his t shirts and pillows are probably contaminated with my tears n snorts and mucus. i buy u new clothes and bedsheets for CNY ok!! hee.

yayyy tom yam cup noodles rawwwkks!
