The sum up (Part II)
Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year.
Firstly, I was actually quite glad that I had a minor dental surgery which was an excuse that worked perfectly well when parents and relatives tried to overdose me with mandarin oranges and an overweight amount of assorted cookies which looked very very yummy but, no thanks.:) It was indeed quite sickening to be eating porridge everyday but at least I managed to keep a sane diet despite the fact that I was absolutely intoxicated for a few nights.
Below are some of the common lines and greetings I got from most people:
1) Wow, you've lost a lot of weight. You look great now. (yea, finally you noticed me. fuckers)
2) Oh, you're teaching now? *accommodated with a weird screwed up expression*
3) So your students must really "love" you. (I don't know, go ask them)
4) So, how's life? (well, what do you know about life. stop asking that stupid question.)
5) Is your hair really THAT BLACK?
6) So, when are you getting married? or Are you married or something? (what a bunch of wankers)
7) Are thick BLACK eyeliners the trend or the in-thing now? (one more of that question, I would've fuckin' snapped.)
8) Why did you cut your pretty long hair? (cos' I fuckin' wanted to)
9) So, do you go clubbing a lot? (I lock myself in the house and write. No, seriously.)
... and so the list goes on.. There was too much drama, too much unnecessary stress and noise pollution, in my sad opinion. I was asked a lot of times by my friends about my CNY and most of the time, all I said was, "I'm not a very festive person." I'm not exactly the grinch, but I'm just not very into celebrating when there's a tremendous increase of death, lines get clogged up, people you don't fuckin' know message you all of a sudden forwarding the same ol' greeting everyone is forwarding around, having to wear red and the whole city or town goes all "bad-fashioned" (beep beep, fashion police, fashion police). Colors practically screamed for attention everywhere I went with ultra red, pink, yellow, orange..yada yada.
God, I nearly fainted in a Chinese restaurant back in my hometown as I entered because the noise was just insane (overlapping my thoughts), colors were clashing, people were laughing (most of them do not even know what they're laughing about), people so called "reunite" when they most probably forget or backstab the same person they hugged 2 seconds ago.
Pretentious, pretentious.
