looks like we've run out of chinese new year holidays. 2 days of relative freedom and cookie overdose. in one of his rare reflective moments, my bro was asking why the heck we do all this. apart from the ang pow capital injection, what is there for us? my 2 families arent too close, and its even more boring with the cousin i used to talk to more stuck in america doing his post-grad. its just another reminder of these people i dont see too much of. and when we do see them, its a reminder of any of the small petty squabbles that stupidly divide the family due to old hurts and whatever. its a load of bull really. at least my mum's side is still quite solid, though not problem free. cant even get the whole lot together for dinner. and since my brother was auditing his ang pow right after visits, we now have the skinny on which uncles and aunties are cheapskates and which are more generous...
had this genius idea while bored out of my wits today. since we couldn get a seafood binge together in time this year, i hereby nominate the Holland Village XO Fish Head Bee Hoon stall for an outing on monday!
1) its affordable
2) its nearby
3) its damn good
4) we can go for dessert at Swensens or NYDC or sth, or even play pool at KAP (yeah right dream on Jon)
