the woof year
It's been a quiet one for me as everyone back home was excited ushering into the year of Dog. This is my first time not actually being with my family during Chinese New Year. The good food, ang pow, alcohol, yummylicious home made cookies, poker games, gossip sessions and most of all the only time to catch up with relatives and friends that I seldom see. I can't believe I'm missing all that!
During the past, I always thought that CNY is incredibly over-rated. I take back my words. Now I feel exactly what it means by the saying, home is where the heart belongs.
Since I got back, I only swiped Dad's card once for the silly amount of $12.61. Okay so I lied. I didn't take into account the alcohol and ciggies I bought at Changi. Not to mention the Bobbi Brown moisturizer and some Stila cosmetics. But that was in S$. It is different. I'm really proud of myself. I used to spend at least $1000 a month from Dad.
I don't know whether it was the realization that money is hard to earn or I'm just a little bit lost at the moment. I don't shop as much as well. I've only bought two skirts since I came back. Two.
I don't feel particularly happy either. Please pass me the prozac, thank you.
