Haha, it's not too late for me to say all that. After all, today is chu3 ba1, or the eighth day of the lunar new year. The lunar new year celebrations last 15 days. Sadly, we in Singapore don't get a glorious 15 day break but a relatively measly 4 day one. Ah well, 4 days is better than 0 days.
As part of Wan family tradition, the first day of the lunar new year was solely dedicated to the visiting of our relatives. But before that,we did the customary dolling-up. I wore a skirt, sleeveless top, leggings and boots so I appeared to have stepped out of an Avril Lavigne MTV. Didn't I tell you what a deviant I am? Mum donned something red-themed and my brother Yish put on his animated walking-man tee. Dad wasn't around as he was at the US.We sure looked swell. So did my cousins, when we finally met after a year apart. Gosh, Mum's right about Sam: she looks more matured than before, and even sported a ponytail! The rest looked more or less the same. At every house we visited, we exchanged oranges and received hongbaos. Chatted with my cousins too. As biased as this may sound, I reckon we Wans served the best treats.Mum got out the chocolate fondue set we got at Switzerland and pretty soon, everyone was dipping fruits, marshmallows and biscuits into liquid chocolate. It was blissful, sitting in the air-conditioned living room guzzling chocolated-coated food. Oh yeah, thank you Ah Min for the Bleach chibi figurines! Another addition to my small but growing Bleach paraphernelia.
Did I tell you guys about my being the MC at the 2007 Chinese New Year celebrations? Two words: screwed up. Well, not exactly, because I did feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of it and teachers congratulated me for a job well done, but so many things could have been better. Sometimes I talked too fast, then too slow or too loud, then too soft. Sheesh. And then there was this stupid miscommuniction which lead to an embarrasing mix-up. To round it all off, I think it was obvious to the audience that I'm a greenhorn when it comes to public speaking. Many thanks to my teachers and seniors who pointed out whatever I did right. That helped, it really did:)
Shall sign off here then. Stay tuned!
And I will always think of you as the sun*
