The Long Weekend in 2011

After a long weekend (4.25 days – we were only let off at 4pm on Chinese New Year’s Eve) due to the most important Festive period of the Chinese, Lunar New Year, I reluctantly let it go. I can officially bid goodbye to it (Lunar New Year) because as a matter of fact, we are not granted holidays for the rest of the period in where I stay. Another thing is, it felt good eating like nobody's business. But again, I AM GUILTY about the amount of food intake.

By the way, I would be confident to announce that it was one of the most fruitful ones – not in terms of monetary reason (the amount which I collected from the Ang Bao – anyway, I have not open any) but rather the people whom I met.

On the first day, some relative whom I had not seen for years came to visit my granny. Ha. The funny thing was they thought we were children of my dad’s youngest brother. In another word, they could not recognize both my sis and I – in a good way, ok! =D By the way, I really hope that my cousin and I could be as close as we were a decade ago. Not that we had ever quarreled before, but somehow, there is a wave of awkwardness between us. Okay, in short, every family has their share of problems so I keep reminding myself to ignore it.

On the third day, I told a close friend to come by my house before meeting the rest of them for some visiting. If it wasn’t me, he would have to either stay in Cityhall for at least two hours OR go home and come out again - which is more tedious compared to coming to my house. After which, he and I met the rest of them but I left 1.5hours later as I had to meet my granny and sis for a movie and dinner. It was a very short meet up but I enjoyed myself because I realized that I laughed and talked a lot which I had not done so for quite some time already. =D Most importantly, I would not be able to see them until at least June 2011 or even a year later. =x

We (my granny, sis and I) enjoyed the dinner; however the portion was too big for us to finish everything. The movie (It’s a great, great world) was fantastic. It was shown in a mixture of dialects such as Hokkien and Teochew and taught me a lot on the old Great World City in a touching yet light-hearted manner. I doubt that anyone would say, “Boo” to this show. ^^ Some people told me that from the way I save (money), I would never be a generous person. After so much have happened, I have to beg to differ. I will only be generous to the right people – not one or two only. =)

Anyway, this could easily be my last entry till at least June 2011.
