29 January 2006

Its kind of like late of me to start a blog. haha. Today is already the third day of cny but i'm going to write the chronological of events that happened on that day:)

I woke up at 9.30am and it was already considered VERY early to me. haha. Thought that i will sleep all the way after the chinatown countdown. Shan't elaborate about chinatown much la. Just that it was really really SUPER squeezy. But i had a great time squeezing through the crowd. HAHA.

I went to my grandma house with my dad to collect hongbaos! But it was only the same old people. My mother's sisters and brother gave my siblings and i hongbaos. i see them almost every week so it isn't that surprising. We went to my gandfather's house(father side) after that. My father's stepmother had a mild stroke a year back and she was really very poor thing. She could not eally eat much and she would choke after eating a few mouthfulls. seeing her sight made me feel that i was actually very lucky.

A few years back, she could walk and even attended my cousin's wedding but she is now in a wheelchair. haiz. And my grandfather should not really say these kind of words during cny. But i couldn't really blame. He said"I hope you will die first. i will then folllow you after that. If i die first, i don't know what will happen to you." Those words were to my step grandmother. Rah, actually it is quite complicated. My grandmother didn't respond him and she was in a daze. After hearing my grandfather's words, i was close to tears but i controlled myself.

Seeing my step-grandmother in that state, i felt so sorry for her. I also feel not being filial enough. My father brought me a few times to Ren Ci Hospital a few times last year but i complained that it was very smelly and i would think twice before going again. I regretted my actions and i will promise to visit her a few more times when i'm free.

Yesterday, i collected hongbaos and it was considered much more than last year as my grandfather(mom's side)
had passed away in the year 2004 so didn't really get much for last year. HAIZ, actually i should not say all these during cny. This year's cny is quite boring but i still wish everyone a HAPPY CNY! xDD
