We are thinking of letting him stay with our relatives. The one that he dislikes the most. hahaha...

That way, he'll learn to respect others.
Boys will always be boys. This time my parents will support me, because I have given up so much of time for family.

Why do you think I went away to Malaysia? LEL.
Of course it happened before. Boys will always be boys.

1. My Victoria Secret catalog are always missing. 
2. I would noticed that he locked his bedroom door after 10pm. 
3. The rest are too explicit to be listed here.

I know my brother won't like it when family members are not around him, he just wouldn't say "I love you" or "Thanks for taking care of me" in front of everyone but he'll do things for the family.

Yeah really hopeful. I pray that I don't succumb to sin of doubt and frustration.

God is in control of my destiny !

Yeah but I don't have Asian upbringing. Its only in Malaysia, that I've slowly learning Asian values.

Especially during CNY reunion dinner, everybody will have to wait for the seniors to come and eat first right?

I would sneak in and eat my food first before grandma, haha...Grandma so pissed! 

I know she's scolding me. lel. It was during my first year in Malaysia that it had happened.

Then when I received my "Angpow", I immediately opened it in front of grandma and waving the money in front of her.

Yeah, my first CNY was a disaster. Of course now I don't do those silly mistakes coz I learn the custom, lel.

At first I was thinking, hey grandma only gave me RM20. Then I realized, all the grandchildren received the same amount. 

Kinda. Mostly with my cousins. My uncle and aunty are working in Singapore, they only come back during the weekend.

cho tai ti?

Mine a quiet CNY too because grandma passed away last year but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't stop celebrating CNY.

I have finally bought some firecrackers..lel.

Ya I gotta run to...in office today working alone...foreveralone, haha.

You working already la, your granny should cut your ang pow allowance.

Say you in JB or KL? Since your uncle n auntie work in Spore.

Cho tai ti is a card game.

Both side of my grannies passed away, they were in their 90s...

My father side, I don't recognise most of my cousin children anymroe...anyway most of the uncles n aunties passed away

My mother side, uncles n aunties still around, but we not so united after granny's passing...always dispute who pay the bill for gathering.

My schoolmate passed away today from Dengue ;_;

1. Haha, you definitely won't want them back anymore,
2. That's normal for his age, but he's not sleeping.
3. That's fine. Too much details are not good.

Well, he's probably shy to express his feelings for the family, not everyone expresses their feelings the same way.
Yes, that's the spirit, m'boy!

He's in control!
Wow, you're like a rebel!

But, waiting for the elders to eat first is no longer practised in my family, it's 'first come, first serve'

You really did open your angpow and waved the money! I couldn't imagine that happening.
I'm the favourite grandson so I get the most 

Cho tai ti is big two or Chinese poker.

My condolences to your family..

Nobody wants to pay, everybody want to save money. I don't think it is an Asian culture.

Err not good idea because sometimes people give different amount of money to different people in Ang Pau. If an uncle gave RM20 per ang pau, how would he feel if another uncle gave RM10 per ang pau, he say he sure wasted money.

Never open ang paus in front of the relatives. It's not polite because not everyone can afford to give a lot

Its ok to save money but how often you have family gathering?

Then I like the uncle who give me more money. 

On a side note, most of my mum relatives are Buddhist, Taoist, etc.

So one day, my grandma put some cookies and tidbits in front of a deceased family member potrait, which is in a living room.

So here I am, curious about it all, decided to eat some of the cookies which, later I found out, were supposed to be for the deceased..

I put out a fire, when my neighbour was burning some papers outside their house during some Chinese festival. 

Yeah, later I found out I was not supposed to do that.

My schoolmate passed away today from Dengue ;_;

I took my dog for a jogging once, and we passed this Chinese shop right, and at the road junction there's this small chinese idols. So many food leftovers, so my dog ate it..

Not supposed to do that right? 

Aside from my cultural shock, I like the Mooncake festival and the colourful chinese dessert. Winter solstice festival?

Yeah its very common...my family too, mostly buddhist and taoist. I was once a buddhist before I converted. I never had the privaledge of being raised as a christian.

We have every year but it looks like this year it may be uncertain. Its also due to some dispute over something that I can't say here. Anyways, hopefully we have one big gathering this CNY. Countdown to Valentine day coming, sigh...i hate this day...

ROFL...even if I have never encountered chinese culture, I would never take food from any altar.

LoL...the neighbor must be angry with you for putting out the fire.

My schoolmate passed away today from Dengue ;_;

winter solstice is tang yuan or we called it glutinous rice ball soup or mochi, rice ball rolled with smashed peanuts and sugar

after this we have chinese lunar new year or spring festival followed by dumpling seasons or summer festival?, which is usually in fall in june

after this come to the mid autumn festival or mooncake festival

Haha besides it is unhygiene to eat food on the altar. The food has been exposed for full day, flies and ants may have taken a bite.

Wah you so daring one, pour water into the neighbor open burning place.

Ok I gotta go back to bed...goodnight...very sleepy de. Yesterday depress not enough sleep. Now quite tired.

RIP to your friend. I heard that dengue cases is the highest in Selangor? Is that true?
