Happy Piggly new year to everyone out there!
It has been a hectic 5-day break for me.
lol, well, I have got a total of 13 uncles and 12 aunties, so it's been one house after another!
It got really funny after a while, because we realised that our madarin-orange supply was diminishing!
Somehow, we were leaving behind oranges everywhere we went, so it wasn't long before my mum looked into the "madarin-orange" bag (which happened to be orange =P) and exclaimed:"where did all the oranges go?!"
it was only after some really laborious retrospection that we realised we had lost about 27 oranges in 2 days (starting off with 32, and ending with only 5) I spent half the rest of the time repressing laughter, it was so hilarious watching my mum fret about having 5 oranges left, and how we were going to bai nian with an odd number of oranges!
Visiting my relatives turned out to be rewarding for me, I made it a point to keep away from my handphone, and MSN- was keen on making the 5 day holiday a totally family thing as far as possible.
Afterall, it isn't everyday that I get to be with my family. It's sad when I think about it.
I spend only about 11 hours, out of the 24 hours in a day that I have, at home,
out of which I spend 6 hours sleeping, and more than half of the rest of the time on the computer. I get to see my dad only about 2 hours everyday, my mum 6 hours a day, my brother 4 hours a day, and my sister 7 hours a day.
That, compared to the 8 hours I get to see the class whiteboard everyday, is worrying. It used not to matter so much to me, until that one civics lesson where Mr Boy said something that got me thinking: "You are dispensible to the world, but not dispensible to your family." So, top on my new year resolution for 2007- to put my family before all else.
I guess I have reached a stage where I begin worrying my hair off about where I want to be when I grow up. This talk I had with my Aunt got my aspirations all shaky again. Law or Medicine? Sciences or the arts?
I wonder if I am up to it in the first place...
