Family time

It's the time of the year again where families gather and have fun. I dread CNY more than I do Christmas. That's because people tend to be more nosy when they have to give out money to unmarried young adults.

Choruses of "still single?" mixed with the interlude of "but you're already 24" with a little hint of "why don't you try meet him first" on constant replay in the midst of all the booming fireworks and munching of CNY cookies.

But nothing can beat the feeling of receiving all the ang pow's and secretly sneak away for the crowd to keep track of the amount of money collected. It's even a race with my brothers to see who collected more each year. And no one can take away the sin of being a glutton during CNY when all you're relatives will encourage you to eat more since you're still "growing".

The essence of CNY for me would always be familiarity, knowing that there will be great food and company for me to be merry.

There is hope after all

Jack Whitehall is that man. I mean, there is hope for all of us. You would think that the Brits would be so proud of Robert Pattinson and his success through Twilight. But this guys hates him. Even disses him on national TV. Gotta give love to those who dislike him as much as we do

"He can't act then, and he still can't act now. I laughed when he died in Harry Potter. And I watched that movie for like 4 times already"

New Year

It's the new year (again) and gone is 2011.
Challenges in 2012 will be greater and tougher because officially,
I'm an adult the day I start working and getting paid for it.
So, till the day my job posting letter arrives that I have to drop everything
and report to the school (*fingers crossed* Penang or Perak),
I'm gonna make sure I rot to the maximum condition possible for a human.
Once you step into the working world,
it will not stop till the day you retire permanently from it.
