my dearest buddy by the name of ong jiefang brought 3 ntuc sized plastic bags fulled with food to my house in the afternoon. oh my! she had overestimated my family's appetite. how were we supposed to finish the food that could last us for 2 days within a meal? anyway, the sea cucumber dish was heavenly. i loved the sauce. i must go your house one day and ask you dad to teach me how to cook so that my parents will stop bugging at me to learn cooking.
when the 2 of us come together in a lazy afternoon, nothing good will happen. today was no exceptional. we started playing with my make up set. haha. let me see. some of you might be thinking that we are vain right? but wait! dont jump into conclusions that easily. we dont apply make up whenever we go out. if the occasion calls for it, we are left with no choice. so we are not vain. we are still in the process of learning how to put on make up. to me, learning it is a must because sooner or later, i will have to do that when i enter the workforce. i dont want to panic and freak the hell out of me when the occasion arrives. remember the guide's motto - be prepared. =)
reunion dinner arrives!! yeah! that's the best part of the day. i love food. the reunion dinner i had this year tasted or rather felt different as compared to the other years. i could feel the sense of closeness within our family after so many unfortunate events had happened in the previous month. i am glad that everything is settled and has become history. my brother bought red wine. yeah! karen loves drinking. the red wine he bought was the one i love. remember the one you tried at my house jiefang? the bottle is not done yet. my next target is the japanese mei jiu. i haven tried it before. dont know what it tastes like although goi said it sucks. my mother's and brother's face turned red immediately after sipping the red wine. even their ears were red too. they were not drunk. just that their blood circulation is strong.
i am quite sad to know that some of my friends dont know there is such a thing called shou ye. when the children shou ye, they are wishing their parents to live till a ripe old age. that's an act of filial piety. is the traditional chinese customs fading into the background? i am not a very traditional person. it is due to my passion for history. i love the chinese culture. i am hungry for the knowledge. i want to know the past. i even had the urge to read the full version of the romance of the three kingdom after playing fate of the dragon. i want the essence of the past to be passed on. it's good to know your roots to have a sense of identity. i want to have something to reply on when i am living in a materialistic and realistic society. i need to know the true me.
