  • CNY in a nutshell!

    I present to you my Chinese New Year in pictures!

    Reunion dinner (eve of CNY):

    All 15 days of Chinese New Year:


    I would like to reiterate again for the millionth time that I'm not a fan of Chinese New Year. A festival that was once exciting and fun for me has turned into a total chore. I don't really know why. I just don't like that it's so hectic. It's not that I enjoy the food much also. Oh wells.

    But as much as I say that, I still manage to have the most fun each year! After all, a week spent with family and the people I love is never dreadful. And of course, this Chinese New Year was especially exciting for me because it was the 'Meet the Fockers' chance for my boyfriend (which he passed with flying colours). I appreciate that he was calm and collected even when facing my crazy cousins. Lol.

    And I dare say that he made a good impression. Right cousins? Right? Right? Sherwin? Stacey? Stiffany? Raynie? I know you're reading this. Hahahaha.

    Ryan's still being very hostile and unwelcoming. But it's ok! He just needs time! Soon, Ryan will realise that this boy isn't like the last, and he ain't gonna hurt me. And he will also realise that even though I have a boyfriend now, I'll still love him and continue to spend time with him. Haha! I have the cutest cousin-in-law.

    So the boyfriend fared well. If he can tackle the insanity that are my cousins, then there is pretty much nothing he can't do! Plus, it was fun watching my cousins attempt to teach him how to play Mahjong (as you can see from the pictures above). Though I think he still hasn't quite grasped the concept of the game. Lol.

    ********************

    And on a totally unrelated note:
     

    Yes, I caved. I am finally on the iPhone bandwagon.

    For the longest time, I was strong. I made it through peer pressure. I made it through the pressures from society - refusing to conform to society's norm and rebelling against the status quo. While everyone else was carrying an iPhone, I was happy with my Blackberry. She wasn't as pretty, or smart for that matter, but I loved her, and she was mine. And to me, she was perfect.

    But again and again, she continued to let me down. While I appreciated her inner beauty, it was her physical being that was a disappointment. And I know I risk sounding like a complete superficial fool, but hey, unfortunately looks do matter. The truth hurts. Don't hate.

    It was not like I abandoned her the moment she got weak. Again and again, I took her to the doctor and got her fixed. But when her buttons failed on me for the 4th time, I just knew her time was up. There was no use in continuing this one-sided romance. It was clear that in this relationship, I was the one who loved more. I gave and I gave, and she just kept taking. She had no more love for me. What was I to do? I had to let her go.

    Enters: iPhone 4.

    I'm still very skeptical about this new toy. Before I give it my heart, I know I must first try to understand it. So far, so good. I haven't yet felt the urge to fling the machine out of the window. I'm hopeful! So please, don't let me down.... my sweet iPhone 4!

    My boyfriend is exceptionally psyched about my new phone. He wants to make movies with the video function. We're gonna have fun unleashing our creativity together! Will post our masterpieces up when it happens!
