how is everyone's CNY?

it's amazing how boring people find CNY nowadays.

i'm quite okay with the idea of running around the whole of singapore visiting relatives, shaking countless hands, guzzling down tonnes of new year goodies (which are BOUND to give me a sore throat in due time) and bombarding people with oranges. oh yes, and receiving my pretty little red packets. :) it's not really boring for me.

but sometimes, i feel as if the celebrations we have get a little...to put it plainly, lacking in meaning. x(

i find i don't speak to all the relatives i see during chinese new year. many a time, i find myself stoning at the TV (frankly, i don't consider myself to be watching those reruns XP) or quietly reading my book/sketching something/doodling/doing homework. which are all things i could simply do at home, without my relatives around. yet, it's so hard to make conversation. it's just too awkward, too unnatural, often we just leave the talking to the adults...

hmm. maybe i'm making too big a deal of this. =S CNY is CNY after all, fattening and heaty food and all. :) i shld just enjoy it while i can, right? x) okay. that i will. :P

hope everyone is having a smashing chinese new year as well! :D
