This is one of my favourite holiday of the year, although I don’t usually celebrate it (as in going visiting and all). Because it’s the only 2-day holiday in Singapore:D And yes, the new year goodies, my favourite bak kwa, mandarin oranges… yum yum!!:D
After reunion dinner at my parent’s place last night, we sat down in the living room to catch Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Hustle. That’s a pretty neat movie!!:D Somehow or rather, my mum started talking about us getting OLDER!! Here’s how the conversation went,
Mum (to bro): You are getting older already… should get married soon! (I was thinking of Russell Peters when she said that!)
Bro: *laughs and mumbled something*
Me: *watching Stephen Chow getting beaten up*
Mum: *turns to me* and you!! should go get someone too…
Bro and gf: *laughs so hard*
Dad: He’s going to be a monk.
Me: *gave my dad an invisible hi five* ah yes… *continues watching Stephen Chow getting beaten up…*
Mum: *starts giving us a lecture about marriage… being alone… blah blah blah*
I wanted to ask her, how to say “jaded” in mandarin, but I thought, she’ll probably come up with some funny translation. I hope she doesn’t bring this topic up ever again. Else, the next reunion dinner, I’ll be having it overseas:D
All in all, a very good dinner together. Eversince we moved out, I think the reunion dinner became alot more significant than it ever did. I’m happy to know that I made the right decision to move out and I thank my parents for their understanding. Tonight, we’re going to have that expensive new year rojak we call, Yu Sheng!!:D
To all readers, 家和万事兴
