chinese new year 2009

the advantage of the final year thesis is that you have so much time like there's almost holiday all semester long but the dark side is that the burdent of work is always haunting you and if you are swift away by the enjoyment of having less class, you just might forget to do your work and choked at the last minute pressure. So, last week I decided to spend extra holiday in my home town kuching for the chinese new year break which is also our mid sem break. I know i will be doomed after this because i was having too much fun watching my precious time passes by. I ate all i wanted at home.. watching tv all day long, being a couch potato is so much fun.. who wouldn't enjoy that?

anyway, i was originally going to talk about my chinese new year celebration. I never felt so connected to my moms side of the family because of the language barrier and since we were small, we never spend so much time together. plus, i'm much older than my cousins.. however, i think it was because of the different lifestyle. anyway, as i grow older, i felt that i can mix better with my aunties simply because i'm an adult now. being adult also causes some intriguing and should i say annoying questions popped up especially, "do you have a girlfriend already?" or "when are you going to get married?".thats what i got during my visit to my aunties house. in my head, i can just replied in my head: i just broked up with my girlfriend, hey.. give me a break! i have to be with myself for the time being and just taking it slowly. erkhh..
