i love spongebob and patrick! and of course mushrooms:x ♥
Chinese New Year is my favourite time of the year because there are lots of ang baos to be collected and new clothes to be bought which i do not like since i do not like shopping.There are normally three days of visiting for my family.On the first and most important day,I would wake up very early,change into my new clothes and dress up.Its normally kind of chaotic because there are so many things to do.Then my brothers and I would then wish my parents longevity,properity and things to go their way smoothly, in return i would get ang bao.Then my family would set off to our first destination which is my paternal grandparent's house,there i would see a lot of my uncles, aunties and cousins that i am not familiar with because i hardly see them.Still there would be a little small chat ,here and there, we would lunch there and proceed to the next place.That place would have to be my maternal grandfather's place(because you see,my grandparents divorced when my mother was young), I go through the same customs and start gambling.I played black jack and won $27 sad to say from my mother.I watched my brothers playing mahjong and helped my cousin with her tiles.As evening approached, we hurried over to my maternal grandmother's house for dinner which was steamboat!I ate till i felt as round as a ball,then i bathed and the gambling continued (gambling in the family is like bonding you see..)I played mahjong against my brothers and won once or twice.We played till 3 am , went home and dozed off.Second day was spent at my maternal grandfather's house,gambling.(we do not stop gambling do we?)I won my cousin $20++,elated i was.The game did not end till twilight and i fell asleep on the welcoming couch.Third day was the best,it was spent slacking and counting my "earnings".That was how i spent my CNY!
