" Time flies when we are having fun "
Dear Rat,
Isn't it absolutely true that when we are having fun, time really flies with great speed? It's already the 15th day of CNY! No doubt, i did spend the whole 15 days to the fullest, with so much fun. Really. And that no one can take it away from me.
The final day wasn't all too bad. We had dinner, a family dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousins, to celebrate the 'chap goh mei'. No, we don't throw oranges to the river in hope of someone good to marry 'us'. After the dinner, we had 'mata kucing' and ice creams for dessert. Note, the 'mata kucing' was the result of years of patience from the tree behind our house, we planted it. As always, there won't be a CNY spirit if the casino isn't open. Since it was our last day, why not i give it a shot! The casino closed at 10pm, and they left for home. By 12 midnight, everyone was asleep, but reluctant to leave the last day of CNY, or simply, the whole CNY.
Since that was the final post about CNY, i also did a poll on 'what does CNY means to you, that you look forward to it?' within the same period and thanks for your vote, and that i shall announce the results in this post. Top of the list would be, money-minded people, to gamble! Unbelievably, what you look forward to is gambling? Or the joy of it? Anyway, it still tops the list, and remember to never get addicted to it. Gambling, not my cup of tea.
Coming second is a shared seat. With both 'ang pau please' and 'buying new clothes' scored a tie in second place, what connects the both would be the colour red! This year, red is good. Also known as the 'red packet', it is usually given to unmarried juniors from married couples or the elderly. For clothes, people tend to wear new clothes ( and because of that, they need to buy new clothes) to symbolize the beginning of a new year. Often, red is the ultimate choice.
Next would be the visiting part- i like it! As you have seen it all, visiting is always fun and enjoyable as you can also meet up with new people, or long-time-no-meet person. Apart from that, we can have fun with our cousins, uncles and aunties too, that puts it the same spot as the house visiting!
You may not agree, but luckily some voted for this- to feast on food, coming forth, and i simply will vote for it too. You can never diet during CNY. Never. And don't even try, you will not succeed. Also sharing the spotlight is people who look at CNY as 'just a holiday', which is basically true. A rest from school, and also from work too! How i wish it could be longer too...
People nowadays lack interest in lion dance and firecrackers already. Maybe because we are growing up, and don't feel like playing or watching it. Coming last, it's the both of it, equally shared. However, i beg to differ because i still believe that lion dance and firecrackers should also be what we look forward to. We can hardly watch a 'lion' performing. And playing firecrackers are important to celebrate the lunar new year. The loud, deafening explosion is thought to scare away evil spirit.
All in all, thanks for your votes, and hope you will continue to vote in my next poll that is coming 'on the way'. And to you Mr Rat, i truly had great fun this whole 15 days and thank you. See ya next year, and don't take away all those cheese! Overjoyed, wc08, saying bye and to you readers, stayed glued to more, coming!
Yours truly,
Mr Ram, WC.
