How I spent my chinese new year!
Thursday, January 29, 2009
For me, chinese new year this year was not a candid one. Its as if I was bestowed by the god of misfortune some bad luck. Damn.
On the eve, I was excited about my upcoming ang baos $_$, which made me jumpy and unable to sleep. I had the habit of gobbling up goodies, despite my parent's nagging. Somehow, all these elements added up to one single misfortune. Sickness.
YES. I FELL SICK. ON THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF CHINESE NEW YEAR. All the new year goodies, especially my favourite, the barbequed pork, flew away...Back then, I was not satisfied. I wanted to eat, drink, play, sleep. But I couldn't! Everyday was about porridge, medicine, sleep. Where is the justification in this!!!
That was when, an idea popped out.
I took the chance to eat some goodies when my parents were out, and went back to sleep like a good boy, making sure that no evidence of my "dirty act" was leaked out. But as you know, paper cannot cover fire. I received my just deserts the next night, when my fever climbed up to 39 degrees.
My sore throat changed for the worse, and my nose was feeling watery the whole time. The sick feeling...sigh....The number of pills increased from 1 to 4, and I had to take some bitter fluid and suck on lozenges. If only I knew earlier, I would not be such an idiot an did those things I did.
But, if I manage to get better by this weekend, I may still be able to celebrate a proper new year for myself! No fear!
