CNY
As I sat waiting for my Macdelivery, I couldn't help thinking of some stuff. Chinese New Year has not been fun for me. As always. Being one of the youngest kid in the family tree house, my cousins all grew up and started doing very adult-ish stuff when I was rather young. Then came along my nieces and nephews. The first one when I was 10. I was always a little lost. Furthermore, most of my paternal side are not in Singapore. Hence, Chinese New Year is usually a bore. Shall not dwell much into it ever since food and ang bao seized to excite me.
Last year, people avoided asking me about bf and stuff. This year the question came back (as usual). I contemplated telling people that I'm not attached since that would be an easy way to end of the topic. But no, my mum had to bring along the fish nian gao to my aunt's place to share with everyone AND tell them that my friend's mum gave it to her. OBVIOUSLY, cousins started asking who this friend is, where is the friend and so on. Now tell me, wouldn't you dread CNY?
Speaking of which, the friend is coming back in about 2 months time. I think the anticipation of him coming back has kind of died down. I'm so used to him being not around, I think I can live without him actually being here physically. The initial stage of being together was kind of exciting and full of zeal. Gradually, work and study play a greater role. Constant face time online was eventually replaced with phone calls then text messages to maybe even not talking. I often have to request or sometimes even resorted to begging to talk to him. How pathetic. Eventually I think I might just give up doing anything since the effort is so tormenting. Except, like we all know, I'm such a softie.
On a lighter note, work is getting a bit more of a routine. More projects have sprang up for me to handle. The class is getting more manageable. Parttime studies have started and assignments are due. I feel happily busy, apart from the fact that the weather is driven me nuts and I got sick twice last month. I found more time to eat and I maintained the fact that my bond is ending next year, hence sayonara! No, I have not thought of what I would like to do. As much as I enjoy teaching, I find that I lack something. I might really take up my dream of working and travelling around alone. That is after I completed my degree.
OH! My food is here. Hereby wish everyone else a Happy Chinese New Year! At least make it better than mine. (:
