Instead of mandarin oranges and shark fin, i had tom yum and beef salad for chinese new year. Yeah, Thai food for chinese new year. Pretty weird huh? We used to have chinese food without fail, every chinese new year, but i guess this year was an exceptional. A change that made our family bond closer somehow.
And at the dinning table, i kept playing with my little niece, she's hottie adorable i tell ya. it's sad thing i hadn't brought my camera along.
The food was instanly gone in a few minutes after it's served. My mom had 7 bros and sis, mind you. So you could imagine the number of cousins i have. Yeah, big family, big red packets. Speaking of which, i think most of my cousins resembled someone i knew and met before. William looks like the chinese jerk in my class, who managed to top the class without fail. Hanny looked like some girl which i can't recall her name. And arlo looked like, well, uhm.....nvm.
The old saying are always right, looks can be deceiving and you can never judge a book by its cover. Same goes to red packets, lol. Me and kim were counting our big money furiously and each packet was stuffed with stacks of notes. We kinda thought it could be a few couples of hundred thousand rupiah but turned out it was only ten:/ I coughed momentarily each time my uncles/aunties asked(always the busy bodies)how much i received.
Anyhow, some uncle of mine gave us one million r each. Smack that. I got many different notes, all from other countries. So you might guessed that my whole family actually migrated all the way from australia to the states.
I spent new year's eve mugging, yeah mugginggggg. While the others were playing majong, crap. Why can't there be 5 people playing at once? So yeah, i was bored to death.
All in all, i received 6million r, and 3 c.cards.And what about you?
