Oh, it's the Dragon!

So, it's the last day to celebrate the Dragon.

The fireworks hasn't stop since 3 weeks ago. But my celebration only lasted one day. I was already back to work on the third day. The colleagues asked what was I doing in the office. I replied I was bored at home. Yea. As usual. As the years goes by, the excitement lacks. 

We weren't very traditional. No balik kampung. No prayers. No gambling. It's been a few years we have not cooked for our own reunion dinner. Probably there are not many elderly around now. So we don't really follow the rules much. We just put up the basics and that's it. That's our chinese new year.

And just like any other year, it won't do without the "Do you have a boyfriend?" and "When are you getting married?" questions. When I told them "No. I don't have a boyfriend yet and I don't plan to be married", the mocking starts and advises came from all angles to say that it's about time to be attached and be committed etc etc. However, one aunt told me otherwise. She told me not to rush things and to take my time in choosing a partner and not to settle down until I'm ready in doing so. Boy, I love this aunt!

May this new year be a better one. I hear the fates of "rats" are pretty good this year. Surely does hope so.

Happy New Year and Happy Chap Goh Meh!!!
