The ups and downs of Chinese New Year. haha, is it true that there are the ups and downs of it? well, some would truly say that CNY is a happy time and that NOTHING would go wrong. haha. some would agree wif me that CNY brings not only happiness, but anger, sadness, all the feelings that you'll feel on a normal day.haha. and some would say that cny brings only the down side of life. heh. for me, i feel that its jus any oder day of the week. apart from receiving red packets and meeting up wif long lost cousins, i can truly say that cny is actually another excuse for working adults to go on holiday and for kids like us to dry them up wif money. haha. so hu gains the happiness? definitely not the adults cos they have to give away their money and the kids mayb so. i have a few frens hu claims that cny sometimes brings them bad luck on that day. some wud say its cos they've been bad the whole bloody year. haha. for me, i'll jus say that its normal. any oder day u wud b unlucky too, jus that u dun pay much attention to it. n if ur unlucky-ness falls on cny, u'll be so god-damn pissed that you would probably climb up a 100 storey building and jump down. haha. so wat makes cny soooo auspicious? lol. i dont reali quite noe. no offence to my chinese frens and relatives. but i tink the chinese reali exaggerates stuffs. a good example would be a mother trying to impress her sister about her son. the mother of the boy, would go on abt saying how good his son is, how smart his son is, how talented his son is, how bright his future would be and so on and so forth. it doesnt stops! haha.to me i wont give a shit how bright his bloody future would be. i would jus wait until the day comes and then see whether his future's bright. if its dark and cant see a thing, then i would ask his mother why din she light up his future for him? haha. well, i dun wanna be seen as an insult to cny cos i myself celebrate it since im half chinese. haha. so it brings back to the point at the start. is it true that there are the ups and downs of Chinese New Year? Its a question you have to figure out urself. take care people. and have a wonderful year ahead! Xin Nian Kuai Le! :D
