CNY 1st Day...
Chinese New Year is here again and while some people are happily going around visiting relatives, some just want to get away. You know, those aunts who will without fail bother you on your marriage status or some other questions you don't really wish to answer every CNY. Don't they get sianz meh?
Anyway, i completed one round of visitation today and this round is always the same for every CNY. As one of my cousin jokingly puts in, there is a SOP(Standard Operating Procedures) in place liao. First we will visit my father's side 2nd aunt's son house where almost every relative in my father's side will gather. Next up is my Mum's 2nd bro house and before you know it, the day is gone.
Maybe it is because i went through NS or because of my age but this year's CNY feel totally different from last year's. I don't know how to describe the differences but the feeling is there. Maybe NS make me realise the importance of family i guess.
But whatever it is, i can't help but notice the one big difference between my Mum's side relatives and my father's side relatives.
My father's side has the tall genes. Wah lao! One year never see, most of my nephews has exceeded 175cm okay? And my cousins, my siblings and I are all at least 170cm. Comparatively, my Mum's side...
