Today marks the start of the
Chinese New Year (CNY), The Year of the
Monkey.
I
dread CNY. I probably wouldn't dread it so much were it not for my cousin's recent
wedding, which earned me (and some other cousins) the
attention of my aunt. She asked the
One Question: "So when are
YOU getting
married?"
And today, I'm
doomed to make the rounds to visit all my close relatives, including her ... and some
other aunts.
I wish I were
stranded at home sick, with only my
computer and
E2 for company.
That would be
bliss.
Happy New Year to all!
p.s. I should
refrain from being so
pessimistic during the New Year. I also have a few other reasons to be
merry, the reasons being:
good food,
red envelopes (with
money in them) and the general
good cheer in the air.
