Dear God, I'm thankful for family ... and Red Envelopes
so monday night, my family apparently had plans to invite some relatives over to my place for a dinner. i found out because when i walked outside, i noticed i had my grandparents, their brothers and sisters (what are they called?), and even my uncle/aunt. it was a small gathering and i didn't even get money ... darn it.
well, apparently, i have a few red envelopes from them but my mom is holding them, and you know what happens when your parents are holding the treasures. actually, let's just say they aren't even yours anymore. it's going into 'your college funding'
donkeys man...
i actually enjoyed the smaller gathering because:
1 less embarrassment for myself.
i mean, it happens to you all the time doesn't it? 'oh kenny, you've gotten so skinny and tall!' or my mom screaming aloud 'kenny! have you called your ____ (insert relative)' and i even get the 'hey! who am i? (what are you supposed to call me)'
2 delicious food
i've noticed that if i have guests over my house, the food will actually taste approximately 5x better than your average food at my house. i mean, how does my mother whip up a meal for me in two minutes and then with a friend over, take twenty? i don't know, but that lobster was delicious yesterday.
3 peace and quiet
wow, now that i think of it. it was so nice and peaceful at my home last night. well, my uncle was obnoxiously loud. but usually, at your typical asian dinner, or it's probably just chinese people, you don't hear anything but the chewing of food (ie: slurping noodles), shouts with food flying out of open mouths, clinking of glasses, and of course, the most random, barbaric grunts... i enjoyed that peace and quietness last night.
speaking of chinese new year, i have a quick thought before i close this post!
hey all you taiwanese people /angryface
if you're not chinese then stop celebrating our chinese new year and geeet outt! actually, stay and give me the money instead.
okay that's all. this whole week is gonna be with family, and hopefully i get mon-- hopefully i have a lot of 'bonding' time with family. just kidding, i love the jins.
