Happy CNY!

I feel so funny as I type this...

The mike on my mum's laptop is switched on and I can hear everything that is going on at home... the tv, my mum talking to my brother, my parents talking over dinner, the sound of people eating porridge... and the weird thing is, I feel exactly like what I would feel like if I were at home now- back from Pee Gee Pee because it's Chinese New Years Eve, sitting on the floor in the corner of the living room while typing on my laptop because everyone else is still eating at the dining table. Just now, the TV sounded so loud and I almost said, 'Daddy, softer can...' It feels like I'm home.



It's really so hard to remember I'm not at home now when I keep hearing my family talking in the background...my Dad asking my brother where he came back from, my mum asking my my maid where something is... sounds so ordinary, but so entertaining all of a sudden.



Thanks to my mum, I'm starving now. She decided to show me what they were having for lunch by facing the webcam to the dining table. Omg, the food was just spread out in front of me, and for a moment, I felt like I could just grab a pair of chopsticks and reach out for food. My mum also said I looked like I was going to start eating soon, and that she hasn't seen me so happy to see food before, haha They were having plain porridge... and it made it feel even more like I'm at home because that's what we always have for lunch on Saturday. I almost forgot how much I loved eating plain porridge.



Today feels like a normal day. Well, a bit normal because I did a bit of work in the morning. Like... the equivalent of one tutorial in NUS.



Then I spent a relaxing 1.5 hours in the gym, came back, and spent the rest of the night being entertained by the noises of my house.



Happy Chinese New Year to everyone back home! Chu1 Er2 falls on Presidents Day, no school! So I'll be having a really un-Chinese New Year over at Washington DC.

Happy 21st Birthday to dearest Christine / X-ine / Bing / one half of the Friday Swing Sitters / One third of CCA! =) I can't believe we're all reaching 21 soon... we've come a long way! And... I'm wearing my friends T-shirt as my 'slacking-at-home' shirt this week in honour of you!
