Yep, it's Chinese New Year!!! :)
In case you don't know, during CNY, we normally get our lazy bums off the couch and go visiting! Day 1 of CNY is normally visits to grandparents' homes to eat reunion dinner and stuff. (at least for me it is haha) Day 2 onwards is a mix of visiting our close friends and other relatives!
CNY also means loads of gambling ;) My favourites are black jack, in between aaannndddd..... MAHJONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't even express my love for mahjong through words ahahahahhha. although sometimes i like to just go around being nosey and giving advice to people hehe. YES I AM THE QUEEN OF MAHJONG!! he he. As i'm the youngest among all my cousins, i enjoy just sitting on my older couzzies laps and just acting like a lil girl watching them gamble. hehe. I love every single one of my cousins, and part of the reason is that their very generous with their money. I'm not saying just because they give me money i love them though. What i mean is, when they gamble and lose money, they never act like sour grapes and throw a fit or whatever. (i have heard stories from my friends when that actually happened) That's why when i'm with my cousins (mother's side especially), i feel very blessed to have such special people in my life ~ ♡
ALSO, for young people like me, CNY is the time for collecting red packetsssss! ;D YAAAAAYYYYYYY!! So, we just go around wishing all our older relatives/aunties and uncles happy new year, throw in some exquisite chinese sayings (which i know zilch of) and we get a red packet filled with money inside! Do you feel my happiness hahahahaha!
I ALSO LOVE DRESSING UP FOR CNY! It's the perfect reason to dress up in bold colours, go crazy with the makeup and hair, and beautify your nails! :) Dressing up also means having to go shopping for new clothes! wooooooooo! ;) and there's often something called CNY sales here in s'pore ;) you jelly?? wahahahhahaha.
I also love catching up with my old friends and relatives during CNY. I honestly got some shocks of my life when i saw some of my relatives change so much! Some of them also brought their boyfriends/girlfriends over. (time for future cousin-in-law instigation hmmmm)
Overall, CNY is definitely one of my favourite festivals! ♡
