Journal Entry 3 - Chinese New Year

First of all, Happy Chinese Year! Finally I have the chance to stuff more money on my pocket, but somehow for this year, I feel like staying home doing nothing but facing my computer for 24 hours. However, my parents surely will not allow me to do such stupid thing on new year, so we did our usual stuff, visiting relative which in chinese we call, bainian. But the most important thing is, red packet!

First day was boring, because most of my uncles house are just upstairs of mine, we went up to make our first stop. We realised that they were not at home, only one of my uncles was in the house, so that means 1 red packet! It sucks though. Next stop is my auntie house located at Ang Mo Kio Ave 5. 1 red packet from there, and we stayed there till 6pm. We took the public bus home, reach home around 7pm. Rested for a while, went out to meet with Bernard. Totally hate new year because all the shops are closed, so that means we can only slack and nothing else.

So 2 red packet for first day. Pathetic!

Second day, we set off to my aunt house to have steamboat lunch. Some of my relatives were there too, so got 3 red packets. After steamboat, we played mahjong till 6pm. I was so sleepy till i fall alseep on the sofa. Near 7pm, Ryan called me out for pool, then i went to central to find them, which is Xiao Jie, Kenneth, Shanping and Ryan. After that went to Kenneth house, then got 1 more red packet from his mother. Slack, went home after that.

So 4 red packet for the second day. Still pathetic!

Third day did nothing but went out with some friends. Receive another red packet, and then went home.

So total I have receive only 7 red packet, not including my parent's red packet. Total amount is so %$^&%$^&*&($%#. I can say that this is the most pathetic chinese new year that I ever had. Sad.
