CNY is probably my most loved celebration. (: Although, yes, the fun days are pretty much over but well, it's still fun. :D
I'm really grateful for CNY for 2 main reasons:
1. HONG BAO. $.$ I got a total of $652 + one more hong bao which I missed out. ;x Plus, mummy is gonna match it! :D So I get a total of $1304+ in my bank acc! Whee~!! Hahaha. I can't use the money. :\ My mum would only let me use it when "I grow up", which I never will, cos you know, we are always 'little' in the eyes of our parents. T.T But it's okay, it's better than spending all the money away. Anyway all the hongbaos I get for my birthdays are allowed to be spent but they are still in their red packets in my piggy bank. I just can't bring myself to spend them. Cos they aren't the money I earnt by myself and I feel that I shouldn't spend those money on clothes, toys, cosplay. Instead, I feel that they should be spent on stuff like my education. Well, that's what I think. (:
2. Family gathering. CNY is the chance where you see the relatives who you see only once a year (during CNY, duh). Without CNY, you prob don't even know they exist. o.o'' Plus, I love my cousins. (: They are all very fun people. Although, like I said, CNY isn't as fun as before. But just by hanging out with them, they make CNY lively. :D I gave all my cousins chocs. Me and my bro shared them (although payed by my parents. Oops.). ^_^ It was a CNY + Valentines Day choc. Hahaha.
This CNY, I applied my own make up and did my own hair. It was fun but tiring. I could only do make up 2 days straight. Cos the day goes like that:
Wake up late
Prepare for the day
Goes out
Play
Play
Play
Goes home tired and worn out
When I'm so tired, removing make up and hairspray is such a chore. But well, that's the price you have to pay for being vain. D: I'm thinking if I should go to poly with make up but that's another topic so let's discuss that another time.
For Chu Xi, I had a side half poly tail. I curled the pony tail. I didn't have a curler or straightener so what I did was when my hair was semi dry, I used a toilet roll kind of thing (it's NOT a toilet roll) and wrapped a section of my hair around it. Then I used my hair dryer to dry it and sprayed some hairspray. It worked. Although not as effective, but it was still passable. :D When I was done, I realised I had hair rollers. Phail.
For Chu 1, I did make up as usual and since I didn't wash my hair in the morning I couldn't do curls so I just tied it up into a nice pony tail. (:
The rest of the days I gave up and slacked. :P
Oh ya, I wanted to talk about my valentine dates. XD I'm so not fated to go out on 12th Feb. Hahaha.
1. I asked JP for a last minute v-day photoshoot. He suggested a short one on 12th Feb evening. I wasn't sure cos my sun burns were still peeling so my skin colour was uneven (It's okay now! Yay!!). I smsed him cos by the time I saw his msg he was offline le. My fault for MIA-ing suddenly. ;x I went to watch the Coffin. Tehe~ Anyway he only saw the msg on 12th Feb morning when he was at work already I think. So he didn't bring his cam so no photoshoot~
2. I initially wanted to ask ros to be my camerawoman in case JP couldnt make it. But when I asked her if she had half day on 12th Feb, she replied "Visit Zhang Ah Yi?" So why not? XD Ros only cfmed with me at like midnight so I didn't wanna sms Zhang ah yi in case I disturbed her sleep or sth so I asked Ros to sms her in the morning. Zhang ah yi didn't reply till about like 2pm on 12th Feb and when I msged her again she only replied at 7pm. -_- So no Zhang ah yi visiting. But we'll prob be going on Sat or Sun. (:
3. Jes msged me at like 2pm if I wanted to meet up with her and Jac. I asked her to msg me when the timing was cfmed but Jac told her she was alrdy on her way home so the thing was cancelled. :\ Poor Jac must be so tired.
In the end, I went out with my family to eat. :D See, your family is always there for you. XD!
Hahaha so yeap. That was my CNY and valentines day! Happy New Year people! Hu Nian Xing Da Yun~ Lovey Dovey~ Oh and guess what, the only person who smsed me a happy CNY and valentines day was my ex. How ironic. :\
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
