Gimme All The Red Packets!!!

Here it is a quick update for my Chinese New Year. I mean cheat post. :P

I only did CNY shopping for once this year... So I bought really fast that I sort of regretted. I even bought without trying. Oh money, may you found someone better. But overall there are still a few pieces that it comes out better than I thought and I still love them. The biggest mistake I ever made in this whole shopping disaster was I din't get any pants for casual outing. Instead of getting casual skirt or pants, I bought a formal pants for work which I am very regret now. The pants was really just... nothing good about it. I just don't like the shape so much. But I am just getting bored of formal dress to work everyday.

So I finally understand that one of the biggest dilemma in working is your everyday outfit repeats.

Well back to topic, my Chinese New Year.

Talking about CNY, we have to start it with the new year eve.

This year, my family was celebrating a different CNY because we got 2 new member in the family. Brother got married last year and his son was born on last November. I am now an aunt. Usually we would visit all our grandparents which are both my father and mother side and my sister's babysitter on new year eve. My sister got a very strong bond with her babysitter that she even look like their family more than us.... /_\ This year my mom nagged that she wants to spend more time with her grandson so all these usual things we do on new year eve got cancelled. Our new year eve was spent with the little boy which I can see him being evil at the age of not even 3 months. I see it coming. The evil genes runs in the family. The genes works the best with me, I am the most evil in the family. Everyone got trolled by me especially my brother. Well, I obviously have found someone better to replace me.

So nothing much happened on my new year eve. Except that I started my Chinese New Year beautifully and happily with a call.

So that is the long quick update about my new year eve. lol We can now move on to the real CNY. Nin Chor Yat, first day of CNY. :D

My family followed the couture of being vegetarian on the first day of CNY. Well I never realized that until I was in primary school. I was nagging that I want to eat dried meat on first day of CNY then I realized we are not allowed to have meat on that day. lol Back to my Day 1,we went to all the places that we are supposed to visit on new year eve. And we finally started to gamble at that night. LOL

Few shots to show you how I look on that day. :P



 Studded hairband made by myself. Call me a genius now. Or not. lololol


Handmade necklace by myself again. LOLOL Din't notice it was inverted until my sister told me. But I am still talented. okay maybe just a little.

Okay You had enough of photos. We can now talk about CNY Day 2. lol

My day 2 was... abit trolled. hmph.
Everything was fine. I visited my friend. ( There is no friendS because I seriously only got one friend to visit. Anti-social kid. ) And then I got home. Mom was back to her old folks home to gamble. ( No wonder the gamble genes is in my body.) So my father, sister and I was planning to have our dinner at the 21st century cafe. The moment when we was about to go out, mom called and told us that she is coming back. 

We all went abit like 'haiya no more 21st century already la.' because mom just not a fan of western food or having a meal at places that she is not used to. That is why I have been eating the same food in my whole life.

Surprisingly mom tolerated and we went to 21st century cafe to have our dinner. But it was a wrong choice,huge mistake. I have never been to any restaurant that is more.... bullshit than this one. I can't use any proper word to describe them. They are just bullshit.

They changed their menu and price. All the drinks are RM10.90. Their staffs told us that we will have the drinks in a milk bottle shaped bottle and we are allowed to bring it home. We look at other tables and we realized that the bottle has really low capacity so we ordered soft drinks.  And they actually brought us just the can and straw. They don't even give us glasses and ice. We requested for it and they told us Tak Ada.

Good Job man, like I am drunk before I drink until I would believe you don't have any glasses in one whole big restaurant. One CNY and you throw away all your glasses? hmph. 

And the food just shitty that night. May your cafe closed soon. 


Day 2 outfit. So pink. LOL


Day 3... I forgot how did I spend it. I think din't even go to anywhere that is why there is no Day 3 outfit. lol

Day 4. I only remembered that I din't like my outfit that much except my pants makes me look so tall that everyone started to say OMG how come you look so tall. And I remember we visited one of my aunt house after 10.00. very late. very bad. lol

Day 5, also the valentine's day. I started the day with a call to someone special right on time. And went to father's boss house for his open house at night. Their guard house can scan IC one, PRO OR NOT?! lol totally being small town girl by overreacting to scanning-IC-guard house.

Then the tragedy happened. I lose Rm42 bucks in 10 minutes. T_T most of the money I won for the past few day just went away in a blink of eye. FML. T_T

Outfit for Day 5 combo Valentine's.



Anyway, I love the dress I wore on that day. Somehow it makes me look more skinny.

So today is Day 6 and I only went to one relative's home. and outfit is repeating already. Goodbye people.

Happy Chinese New Year.

NOW TAKE ALL THE RED PACKETS.

For the society and the kids.

Oh my, it is another weekend. Time passed so fast when I am working or I am happy. Or even both, just exactly like what I am now. My life has been full of happiness from every aspect, except health. Been sicked, hurt, and pained in these 2 months, but I am glad I was not alone to face them all. My life is now too great to be imagine by myself before. Never thought that I could have all of these, and I am living and trying hard to protect what I have now.

Life is all about fighting for what you want and protecting what you have, isn't it?

So after working as an teaching assistant for more than a month, I am now finally get used with children. I have to admit that I am not really a children-loving person as sometimes they are really naughty or their innocence may really hurt my dignity.

Just like yesterday, a 15 years old boy came to our center. One of the student saw him and his height, she directly asked me : "Teacher, why are you so short?" Or sometimes I just hate people who doubted my ability.

It is okay. I can handle these now. My EQ is now well trained.

But I would still consider it was a fun and enjoyable job. Their innocence maybe offensive sometimes, but we can still find the funny one.

One day, I was teaching a 7 years old little girl Bahasa Malaysia. Then I saw this word, KAKAK which have the meaning of "sister". I am pretty sure every single educated Malaysian knows what it means. And I even think it was a word that is taught in kindergarten.

But my job is to make sure she understood, so I still asked her : "What is KAKAK?" She showed me a confident and IKnowWhatIsIt-face to me and answer my question loudly. Really loudly.

" MAID!!!"

I was sad and feeling funny for that answer. We as Malaysian had formed this couture of having a maid called KAKAK in the country and the couture is now deeply affecting the new generation. Kakak is now understand as maid but not sister. I corrected her immediately and she showed me her innocent face. Aww, sorry for that. And I never hear her speaking loud in class anymore. I have to make her repeat for a few times to hear her answer.

And today we have class with a 6 years old little girl. Having tuition at the age of 6 is probably the thing I never wanted to see. And I am very glad and proud that I never have or needed any tuition in my life. It was something that I am very thankful. So when my colleague was teaching her science, there was a diagram of aquarium. My colleague was trying to tell her it was used to rears fish and the little girl do have fishes at home.... But they are just not in an aquarium, but a pond.

She shouted excitedly when she was describing the pond she have in her house : BUT MY HOUSE ONE BIG BIG CANNOT TAKE OUT ONE!

Poor little girl, she don't even know what is mountain, cloud nor aquarium yet but she already have tuition in her life.

The economy ability of our society is improving. We can now provide the younger generation a better environment and they have everything convenient. But are we giving them what they really need? Do a little child really need a phone or a tablet? Are they really smart enough for internet yet? Are they really ready to take what we give them now? From what I see, the parents nowadays seems to provide their children everything that they thought it was good. But it was good for the children, or the parents?

To be honest, I am against children having high-technology product too early. I just can't find any thing good about it. They will be addicted to it. They will be chasing the trend. Why should we let the children be poisoned by these product? I even consider that as another form of abuse. At my point of view, giving them the correct education is the real thing we should do. Nurturing the correct moral value should be the things that we are doing for them. Giving them happy and healthy childhood is something we should do for them.

Rethink what are you doing for the children. Sometimes loving is not about giving what you can give, but giving what they need. Do not harm them with your love when you never have the intention to do that, but it happens. Love them in the right way. Lead them to the right path.

By the way, a little joke to be shared before I end my post. So one day I was preparing lesson and the topic was simple present tense. I was so lack of idea in making question but a funny and evil idea popped out from my mind in a sudden. So I told my colleague.

"Hey, I can make the student say that you are handsome indirectly. I make a question "you ( are , is ) handsome." And you ask her to read after she is done. Then she will tell you that you are handsome."

LOLOLOL If you get my bad joke.
