Chinese New Year

HAPpY ChINeSe NeW YEaR!!!!

Happines, Happiness, Happines all around, all year, and all second long!!!

Ok. That's it! *^

Back to more IMPORTANT STUFF.

1) Trinity Church CNY celebration - food is so-so. Started off late and I only got through the third show before I had to LEAVE for African Night. Yes, I am that unloyal to my own fantestic culture.

2) African Night is the BOMB! African dances are so filled with energy, you could feel yourself dancing along with them. Plus, the audiences are so engaging, shouting out "oh yea!" or "african dialect..." or even singing along/clapping hands....its soooo good!!!!

3) It helps to know people. Just to get in for free. One event can cost me about 5-12 dollars. Panam parties are forever 5 dollars. But the best part is ...ALL cultural organization presidents get in for free...and since my president and vp is always 99.9% absent for the event, that leaves ME to represent them. Thus, free entrence wherever I go. Life is gooooddd....OHH YEA!!!

4) Go eat and get fat, its CNY!

5) Im not calling home, and dont even bother asking why. Seriously, there is nothing to talk about to my family/relatives....esp relatives. If I think people dont care about me/treat me bad/look down on me/whatever....well, I am of course not going to freaking call back. I will treat them all nice and all when I see them, but that the extend of where my relationships with them stops! I am definitely not going to call back to say "how are you?"

On the other hand, it doesnt help that im so shy and I dont speak my dialect. What am I going to say? I always have to practise beforehand with my brother/or overhear cousins before I can start wishing Happy NY. So...the point is....Im not calling back. They wont even remember me, so heck! And everyone probably knows....i never call back.

I am a very bad daughter... and I cant help it, because I need to break free and I have been constraint to my family one way or another all my life.
