oh man chinese new yr bores me to tears. the greatest realization that i have is that increasingly, i really don't enjoy making small talk. oh, and i realized too that my parents' opinons of others is rather contagious. like the people they like and think fondly/highly of, i somehow do as well. and others who they are less fond of...i realize i kind of am too. scary huh? didn't realize they have influence over me in that way. i also think that it's sad that what i looked most forward to about CNY this yr were going to church and wearing my new dress! haha not even the new year goodies or finding out "total earnings" for the day.so other highlights of CNY? realizing my aunt and i both like the smell of haze and burning incense and jasmine flowers, whining to/with farand over msn and coming up with Project Christmas 2007 with him, playing german bridge with Shi Rui/Ping/Yun/Wei (after allll these years, i still can't remember who's who), talking with Aunty Meng and Judith about MG days, and clowning around with Justus who's way too articulate and politically correct for a 4 year old kid. oh, and i'm glad my family's non-traditional. mom made pizza for chu xi dinner and we had a bbq for everyone on my mom's side instead yday of going back to my grandma's place this yr. refreshing changes i felt! :) haha so it almost sounds like there were soo many things i've enjoyed these last 2 days...but trust me. they've been loooong days. and each of these were small snippets along the way that almost convinced me that it wasn't so bad afterall.i'm not sure what CNY will be like when i have my own family next time. haha go over to kor's place? will he have his 3 girls? will i have my 2 boys? will he be playing his own album in the hall like he was today? ahahaa. more importantly, will he be married?? hahaha funny how people have given up asking him that this year...
