CNY is coming

Happy 26th Birthday to Kim!!

Good luck to my dearie roommates, Joan and Stef, who are having their final exam now. Though time may be hard now, but worry not, you girls will soon enjoy the following holiday~~~

Met Cik Umi while I went to Faculty of Education to hand in my application form for practical teaching. She is still as friendly as usual. She greeted me "Gong Xi Fa Cai" from far. Haha... That is really a very early wish for CNY.

Do I really enjoy the celebration of the festival? Well, actually it is just a few days of resting at home and meeting old friends. Generation is different now. The celebration atmosphere is decreasing year by year.

I used to enjoy playing fire-cracker, watching lion dance (my family will hire people to have it in our house during the praying ceremonyon the first day of CNY) and some TV programs during CNY. But now, fire-cracker is banned. Lion dance is no more something interesting to me. TV programs are also not that attracting anymore.

(Times have changed. So am I. What I found fascinating when I was young is no more that amazing to me now.)

The only things I am looking forward now is the reunion with family and gathering with old friends during the festival. Guess that everyone is so busy and we have to wait till CNY for a chance to finally meet up everyone.

Reunion <--- This is the meaning of CNY, isn't it?

I have asked Jenny (my supervisor) about my working time during CNY. Since she will be going back to her hometown (Seremban) too, so I can enjoy a whole week off during CNY. Wahaha... Which means that I can stay home for almost 10 days during CNY =)

I have gained her permission to have another day off on 2nd of Feb. Well, 1st of Feb is KL Territory Day. (It is also Thaipusam, which is not celebrated in KL. Weird, huh?) So I will have a day off on the next day too so that I can have a four-day continuous holiday. Think that is sufficient for me to go home for spring cleaning.

But after so many days off, my pay for Feb will be very, very little then...

There will be a test for Geology - Earth's Processes on next Wednesday. I haven't started to do anything for it till now. Notes are not done too.

Sigh... Am I really THAT busy?
