IT'S FRIDAY!!!!

Wahaha...

Decided that since I am feeling so crappy to have to come back on the 3rd day of the lunar new year, and the fact that I am so "green" at this job, that I don't dare to go on leave... I have decided to celebrate the fact that...

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!

wahaha... Ah Q mentality at work again.

Chinese New Year thus far, has been good and bad. Have decided to describe by chronological order.

CNY eve eve
Had a fantastic reunion dinner with mum. The steamboat was.. mama mia... deeelicious!!! I LOVE YOU MUM!!! Then, there was the gin rummy (where I lost $90!!!). My mum even asked me, "eh, did you lose to me on purpose..." I'm like "... ma, I can just give you the $90, I don't have to lose it to you at the gambling table." Wahaha...

CNY eve
Then on CNY eve, had reunion dinner with dad. That one was, a bit crap. I do miss my dad a bit, and my heart feels a bit sourish, cuz I haven't seen him much, since around June 04, cuz I was so pissed that he stopped all alimony (not that it is legal, but don't think he cares) for my mum and bro. And our finances back then, and even now, are not exactly rosy, his pittance would have helped.

Was also pissed cuz we had reunion with two other family. My dad's sisters, at 2nd aunt's place. Sigh... feel like hanger-ons. I think coming year, I will devise some plan, so that we can have reunion dinner with my dad, WITHOUT those sisters of his. All those snide remarks, the looks, can spoil the appetite of a pig, yes, even one like me...

CNY - 1st day
Went temple, met up with mum's side of relatives. Arranged to go karaoke late that night. Then had to leave my poor mum alone at home, and we went to my 3rd Aunt's place, (dad is living with them)... Can't really say that I had a crappy time, but it was different, awkward... uncomfortable. Add: Snide remarks, looks, and generally, we were discWas so glad when it was finally time to go meet my other "side" for ktv. That was fun. First time I sang till 4am. I am disgusted with myself. But hey, I am still always on for karaoke! Wahaha...

Aside: Why is it that some people seem to look down on people who go for karaoke? I mean, they actually seemed shocked when I said I was leaving to go sing karaoke? too "chee-na" isit? You freaking "cao ang moh wannabe"... I know, you can sing damn well, and that you compose and write your own "ang-moh" songs, and that you win competitions, BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL! KISS MY ASS!!!! I am v chee-na, I like to go sing CHINESE songs at karaoke joints, SOOOOO???? Bite me arh!

CNY - 2nd day
Woke up late, played more gin and 4-cards with mum. Wanted to stay home, but my lil' bro wanted to go my 2nd aunt's house, cuz he loves gambling. So I went along, cuz I didn't want him going alone. (don't trust my evil aunts) My other 2 siblings had arrangements to go visiting with friends.

Felt CRAP! FUCK, and my poor mum admitted to me when we got back, that we have to come up with better arrangements. She felt too lonely and sad when she could hear our neighbours celebrating, reunion night, 1st and 2nd, and she was all alone at home. ARGGHHHHH!!!!! I shd have just stayed home.

CNY - 3rd day
Back in office, still feeling crappy, and lousy. For myself and for my mum. Trying to psyche myself up, cuz I know, CNY cannot feel this way.


and so... I AM GLAD THAT IT IS FRIDAY!!! The weekends are upon us!!!
