Awkward meetings with relatives are always, always more of an obligation than a genuine want. It's unbearably painful and I can hardly remember attending a family event without feeling tormented. In fact, I am forever struggling to accept that we must respect, love and be nice to extended family members, just because part of their blood runs in our veins as well.

Still, CNY visiting wasn't as painful as I'd expected this year! Maybe it's because there were little kids running around, thanks to my paternal cousins and maternal aunt, so their cuteness took away the awkward factor? Haha somehow everyone seems a little kinder and softer around the edges when there are giggling pudgy doe-eyed babies rolling everywhere :')

I felt like telling those proud parents though: You should have run while you still could! These adorable little munchkins are going to grow up into angsty sloth-like teenagers with pimple outbreaks and procrastination issues AND THEN YOU WILL REGRET THE DAY YOU DECIDED TO REPRODUCE.

But then they'd probably not give me any angpows so it made more sense to just keep quiet and put on a benign smile.

Moving on...

Spent today pigging out and watching tv with the family. I could totally get used to this lifestyle. I think I have regained my ability to zap homework into oblivion, or at least out of my sight. Which can only be a bad thing, considering how my brain cells are evidently lagging behind those of my fellow peers in school. WHY IS EVERYBODY SO DILIGENT AND SMART? WHY?!






I should probably refrain from such self-derogatory thoughts during this CNY period. 




More later, when my thoughts are more coherent and my eyelids aren't drooping -______-
