I could not escape saying happy new year at least 30 times yesterday, or giving fake smiles to people who say it to me. Dammit! I wonder why I like chinese new year besides the food and dressing up with my cousins. I can't eat madly and pleasurably this time because of my bad throat. All the food waiting for me downstairs and in people's houses.....just sitting, and waiting. Very sad. But it's a good thing too because yesterday my qipao was going to burst. My brother and I sat at one corner and suddenly were swarmed by 6 aunties who gave us hongbaos at one shot. I'm going to spend one hundred of the money on bob dylan's rolling thunder revue, blonde on blonde, the band's greatest hits and more movies. It still puzzles me why people give money away to other people's kids wishing them prosperity and good grades at school. It's not even let's-spread-love-and-hugs. It's more like psycho-adults-feel-rich-fat-and-obligated. Well at least my money's going to better music and not that chinese music advertisement on tv about the girl being scared of the cockroach which is an adaptation of that imbecilic pop song which I swear whenever it comes on I feel like throwing the tv.
On a side note, I was playing yahoo graffiti and had to make them guess ham. I drew a cow and meat and people started guessing beef before I realised ham comes from pigs. Shit!!!!
YELLOW SUBMARINE! You can never fully appreciate the song till you watch the CLASSIC animated movie. It's a world in itself.
I'm trying to think of reasons to give when people (relatives) ask me why my hair is so short. a) 'cooling.' (and turn away) b) 'i like it' (and turn away) c) 'trying to imitate my brother' d) 'an accident' e) 'the beatles told me to do it' f) 'i don't know, do ye?'
