Stayed at home coz mum was working. So, it was mainly waiting at home for the relatives to come over. Good thing I decided not to have my friends over to celebrate after all. My place can seriously hold no more than 6 visitors at any one time.
Some relatives came over today. First, it was a family of 7. Ok... Took out all the chairs we had, place was packed. Then, another family came by. 5 more people. Darn. Had to utilise our computer work chairs, some foot stools, etc... Don't kids nowadays realise that the floor is meant to be sat on?
Almost went into teacher mode and wanted to scold some kids who came in, plonked themselves down on the couch and proceeded to play games on their handphones... Hello? It's the CNY! You're supposed to be visiting, pretending to pay attention to your elders, smile, make small talk and then get your dues - the all-important ang bao. Unless you're really into all the visiting stuff. Like me...
A little sad no more visiting for me... Not very close to the distant relatives. Staying with my grand-dad, so relatives are supposed to come over. And the CNY mood just doesn't seem the same. And not sure if I'm supposed to still be collecting ang baos... I guess as long as I'm a "youth". Which means I still have 6 more years of ang baos to collect.
It was a good feeling, though, to be able to give my parents and grand-dad ang baos. Pretty substantial ones too. I do miss my grand-ma. She passed away some 2 years back...
Anyway, had a good day today. Accomplished several things.

Time to get back to work later...
