CNY Randoms.

#1 - Lou Sang count as of today, January 30th, would be seven (7). Fortunately, its only a small portion per person as I'm starting to get a little sick of eating coloured flour sticks.


#2 - I strongly believe that the new year pants I am currently wearing has been accidentally switched, in design or size, by the salesperson. OR the wife has done it on purpose to constantly remind me that I'm fat. The waist area feels alright but my thighs are being wrapped tight like those aluminium foil slim wraps.


#3 - CNY before marriage is all about receiving.


#4 - CNY after marriage is all about giving. Other than the red packets, I have also been 'giving' out money in one of those common CNY activity.


#5 - pre-cny shopping is no longer just about getting new clothes and stocking up on CNY goodies is no longer a fun-filled affair because you have to pay for everything. A packet of mushrooms for 20 bucks, Ferrero Rocher for 20 bucks as well, a can of abalone for a hundred plus, 200 grams of tid-bits for 8 bucks, just to name a few. Somehow I do not recall everything being so expensive. I want to cry.


#6 - relatives' (uncles and aunts) favourite question number one:- so, how does it feels to be giving out red packets after the many years of receiving them? Favourite question number two:- when are we planning to have kids - which I think used to be - when I'm planning to tie-the-knot.

I predict that after my first child, which would not be that soon, they would be asking on the arrival of the second one.


#7 - I have not taken a single picture since chor yat (first day of CNY), camera makan dust.


#8 - I have not been consuming as much of cny goodies as I used to. It must be due to the presence the wife around me at all times, her aura of hey-you-fat-boy-don't-eat-so-much is so strong that everytime I reach out for a cookie jar, a reminder impulse is generated and sent to my brain automatically.


#9 - the wife has been reminding all those who received a red packet from her to get married next year as it would be the first and last one. The pressure from getting this ang pao is strong.


#10 - Has the ban on firecrackers been lifted already? I mean, I have been hearing fireworks every single night, here, there and everywhere since the Eve of CNY even at 1 or 2 in the morning and some of them packs a punch I tell you.
