Anyway, I'm always excited to talk to my whole hordes of cousins. Let's see... I've met 11 cousins, 1 "cousin-in-law", 4 "grand nephews" (cousin's children). Think 6 are absent... And that's just my mother's side, not including my sisters and sister's brood. Tell me you’re excited when it’s your turn to give out the ang pows.

However, as a chinese, I have to celebrate this 5000 year-old festival no matter how sian I am.

What belongs to the man belongs to the woman. What belongs to the woman belongs to the woman only. =P So if he gives me $2M, that's mine. The rest of the $8M we share. Keekekek. Sunny: Um... I don't think so. I'm trying to forget the carlsberg ad, as it is. Haha. Elyxia: That is possible. But love or not, I could never be persuaded to go Aerospace or any computer exhibition!! Mother: Wahahahaha! Next time, to avoid being asked awkward questions, you ask them other embarrassing questions first. Catch them off balance until they forget to ask you. :P Ruok: Don’t you know the law of equality? What belongs to the man belongs to the woman.

Spank harder, Goonfather!!! Yes, harder!!! Back to the topic: I find CNY even more boring for me this year. 1 of my closer cousin got married, so less time to interact and chitchat....while another went over to UK for studies. And my older relatives are dying off one by one, which leads to less places to visit and collect angbao. The usual questions: 1. Got boy/girlfriend or not ah? IF answer = YES, THEN relative triggers whyNeverBring(); ELSE THEN relative triggers whyNeverFind(); 2. Getting married or not ah? IF answer = YES, THEN relative triggers whenGettingMarried(); ELSE IF answer = "NOT YET" THEN relative triggers whyNotYouAreNotYoungLiao(); ELSE IF answer = "No Girlfriend" Then relative calls 1 Chinese New Year....... Wow, Goonfather is my type of MAN!!!!! Spank harder, Goonfather!!! Yes, harder!!!
