Sleep-full CNY
It's always sleep-full for almost every single CNY trip home.
This year's especially.
Which I am really glad about.
Too tired from all the tests etc...
Though there's exams to come.
Anyway,
food wise... not as good as last year's.
But it's alright.
As long as they are cooked by my mum.
Had steamed kampong chicken.
Uncle bought an 'old' chicken.
Super tough.
It's like fighting with it when you want to tear it's flesh apart from the bone.
Visit to (another) Uncle's house...
Kids are growing up quickly.
Cousin younger than me dresses more lady like than I do.
Is it really necessary for girls to wear dresses, skirts, frilly tops etc. to be considered feminine?
2 babies.
Really cute ones.
My brother and I looked through our baby photos.
Too bad.
I didn't have a scanner or a proper camera to take pictures of them.
Maybe next year.
Saw mum in her younger days.
In skirts and shorts.
She does have her charms. ^-*
Back in S'pore,
mum and I saw a few girls in skirts, that's not too short, with leggings.
I mention that it looks like aerobics outfit.
She agreed, and said that it was once fashionable in the past.
Hahaha.. retro.
I asked if she think it's nice.
Know what she told me?
Not to dress up in that manner as Simplicity is Beauty.
She likes me the way I am.
Jeans and Tee.
For once...
someone who thinks my dress sense is beautiful.
Haha...
Without fail,
I'll be asked about my studies.
Quick calculations tells that somehow I will still have at least another 8 years to go, if I can get to the top.
That's the number I told anyone who asked.
My youngest aunt in Penang said: by then she'll be an old maid already.
Haha... seriously, does it really matter?
What really matters in the course of our lifetime?
I wonder...Labels: Reflections
