The stressful part? I had to spend what could probably be my last chinese new year in Malaysia with math exams. Ahh screw you Edexcel Exam Board.
Anyways, a few other occasions did offer consolation to me despite the fact that I had to have my brain fried. I baked cookies with my mum. Yay! Haven't been doing that for a long long time. But all my cookies quite the cacat though, they all had weird shapes, usually too small. I call them "deformed cookies". Lol. And the worst part was, i accidentally burnt two bottles of pineapple tarts. You know how excruciatingly heart-breaking was it to see your favourite cookies in such state:
Forget about the cookies, i shall move on. A few of my friends visited me on the first day of CNY. We catched up a bit, went on a camwhore spree, laughed like mad. I miss them already. :( Some of them even sent a greeting card to my college - so the heartwarming. :') Back in high school, we used to send each other greeting cards during festive seasons. I still keep them though. But nowadays, technology seems to have wiped out the tradition. Le sigh.
Back in school, we sort of replaced the culture of playing "Blackjack" with "Monopoly Deal". Boy you cannot imagine how much fun we had that day. 9am to 4.30pm. We hobos just sat in Naq's common room playing like there's no exam on monday. :P Then there's the Astro movie marathon where i watched 3 movies straight - Cats and Dogs, Narnia and Shrek Forever After. That's how jobless i was.
I've grown to realise that Chinese New Year is not just about angpaos, gambling, alcohol or food. It's about being together with family and friends. I couldn't spend much time in my hometown, so i just made the most out of the 4 days when i was there. Every year it just gets better when your loved ones are around you.
Happy chinese new year! :)
Now, back to math.
