"Let's include her because we need to ostracise someone"

Is it mandatory to post a photo of your Starbucks/ artsy fartsy drink every time you buy it?

Do we have to post our outfits on social networking sites whenever you wear something you think it's nice?

"friends for life"

they had to do that. they have to do that. it's what everyone else does these days. heart for life

this morning. 

I was folding my blankets, something the lazy me seldom does, yet doing it because we have relatives coming over. 

I thought for a second: 

How will Chinese New Year, this major Chinese event be like for me in twenty years? Say 10 years ago, I'd be super excited many weeks before Chinese New Year as I watched my grandma bake the pineapple tarts everyone savoured and the love letters sought after by many. Come CNY eve, we'd go over to the paternal side and have steamboat dinner and we'd stay till 12 to offer our first joss sticks to the gods before going home. I'd excitedly wear my new set of pajamas before sleeping on my new bedsheet. Now, in 10 years time, I still hope to be super excited many weeks before cny (even though I'm not now), my grandmother has stopped making pineapple tarts and love letters because there's too much work and the moulds for them are nonexistent already. The paternal side, as I already mentioned eon blogposts ago, is dwindling in terms of energy and everyone goes home before 10. No one wears pajamas today. 

And back to the present, this years celebration was kind of sucky for me. Started 初一 with a bad stomach flu as I threw up (all the negativity and inauspicious things within my body) and had fever. 初二 was slightly better except that my thigh muscles were still aching from the 20 minute jog two days back. 初三, which is today, was quite sucky. Despite winning over the lousy virus that attacked me, the upper right part of my body was aching and super numb?? So my kind mom pasted two magnets to let the blood circulation flow (huat ah....)

But ok la, at least my big aunt never come. Thanks ah, pituitary gland for not secreting the stuffz. 

Anyway, to sum up this years new year experience, I'd say:

該來的人沒來，不該來的人卻自己送上門。

Sorry for the 繁體, that's all I'm apologetic about as of now. 

And ps. Posting results are coming out on Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

And I realised that every older sibling I've seen and interacted with (coughs including myself) wants their younger sibling to be something they wanted to be when they were younger. Like how my super duper super duper cute 6 year old niece yanked the tissue out of her 2 year old brother's neck bc she doesn't want him to look stupid and ridiculous. And my  ultra cute 6 year old cousin who doesn't give a hoot to her 4 year old brother bc she probably wanted others to not give a hoot to her when she was younger; like that kind of "I don't like to be disturbed when I'm doing xxxxx or xxxxx" and the 17 year old me who rolls my eyes when I see my 12 year old sister (the ruien) doing stupid things I did before bc I definitely regretted doing those stupid things and it is foolish to see others do the same stupid thing again.
