I see red packets....and platinum plastic!

I am so bloated. Think steamboat, chap chye, bak kwa and tons of goodies to snack on all day long, for the past 3 days. I heart CNY. Once a year I get to stuff my face with goodies and then I have 8 months or so to work it off before Christmas.


It has been 3 days of non-stop gambling, mahjong and blackjack and with the house all done up you would never think for a second that the house belongs to an Indian man. My aunt came down fro Canada this year and just when all 5 sisters are in town, 2 of them refuse to be in the same place with each other. Hence my fav aunty hasnt visited. I hate how such a close nit family suddenly cracks cause of men and money. 2 factors that can tear up family ties.



The ang pow haul has been moderate I guess, I seem to have misplaced a couple but the best one, and I think one of the only 2 I have opened so far, had something way better than cash or the new $20 note.( which I would not spend). Citibank Platinum Visa. I has my name on it. OMFG!!! =))) free entry to Zouk plus my mum set aside $50 for me to spend before I have to pay my own way. Its awesome and I love it.



I have been mulling over a few things lately and I want to mention them briefly.


1) What have I been doing wrong? Or what is it about guys that just has them after you one minute then blowing cold the next? It's not just one or 2 but seemingly all. Hence the expression returns. "He wants you til he's got you, then doesn't bother calling back"


2) Since Secondary school, I can literally count the number of people I'm close to on ONE hand, and now I look back, I wonder which of these girls are really close to me anymore. I havent seen them in so long and we barely talk. I'd call and initiate an outing but when it's not reciprocated, do i leave it or try again. I miss them but on the other hand, why bother if it's just me?


3) I am fat again! Damn it!


4) It's tough not having someone to show you around when you start out. I try to help my cousins out as much as possible. Chelsea too, and for awhile I had someone. Someone who I admired and adored. She was my role model. The person I always wanted to be. I envied her, and she left. NOw it seems I have to pick up on my own. You know you're really alone when your oldest girl cousin doesnt date, needs you to help her put on make-up and find nice clothes.
