Gong Xi Ca Fai!

2 more days till the peak season of harvesting ang pows, and pineapple tarts, bak kwa (barbecued pork), love letters, prawn rolls cropping more fats on our bodies, and watering our thirst with Marigold chrysanthemum tea.

Aunts have nothing to do better than to provoke us singles, poor us, with annoying questions "Are you married? Do you have a bf/gf? When are you settling down?" It goes on forever.....

New-born infants wailing for mummies, and little hyperactive cousins, nieces, nephews running around and trying to catch them, and enthusiastic uncles and aunties exercising their addicted hands on chinese tiles, mahjong for hours!

So familiar is the traditional scene of happenings in homes during Chinese New Year.

Me, so blissful to stay away from my inquisitive aunts abt my status - single? married?. They are not in Singapore but in Penang where they came out from my mom's mom's womb. They are my mom's sisters. My dad have no siblings so every year Chinese New Year is a very quiet affair for us.

As usual, rot away my Chinese New Year at home munching on pineapple tarts gleefully, icqing and msning. No relatives to prowl for ang pows in Singapore. *pout*
