Chinese New Year Chu Yi aka First day

Yeah yeah, chinese new year.. Gong Xi Fa Cai, Xin Xiang Shi Cheng, Wan Shi Ru Yi, Zhu Shi Shun Li. hehe......
hehe...
nothing to do since i have no visiting relatives gracing my humble abode.
I hate interacting with people during this period.
Why?
Coz they like to ask the following top 10 questions.

If you are single......

1. Have you finished your studies? What degree do u get ah? Why so low? Never study ah? Even my ah boy is better than you!
(What degree I get is none of your business. Why do u care? Your ah boy so good, good for you lah. Then? So what? KPO!!!!)

2. When are u going to park tor? Got any boyfriend? You know hor, there is this distant friend's son ah...very nice guy, you want me to introduce him to you?
(So? I like being single and available so that I have my pick of men. Why? You dun like it ah? My life dun have to be so traditional as yours leh. Go thru the cycles like everyone else. So? You not happy that I unique ah? Your distant friend's son. You already said DISTANT friend liao, how to guarantee the quality? You want to matchmake ah, matchmake your kids lah.)

3. Why are you so fat? Why do u have so many pimples on your face? You din use good cleaning stuff issit? Nevermind, I got this product, very good for your skin condition. I sell it to you at a very discounted price, want or not? Try try lah.
(Fat or not is my problem. Pimples like my face can or not? Cleaning stuff I got a lot, no thanks you, I better not try your stuff, my condition may get worse but you are earning more money from me. Dun think I duno that this is MLM. Scram!)

4. You know hor, I really shouldnt be giving you the ang pows anymore! It is time for you to give me leh. Get married lah.
(If you are stingy, just say so lah. Dun need to hint hint me. At most I dun want your ang pow lor. What's the big deal. Just 2 bucks only. I dun want to hear your complaints. I get married or not is my business. What you think is your business. Dont try to control me. JERK!)

5.Why you never addressed me huh? I am your grandfather's brother, you should call me granduncle. Like that also duno, you dare to call yourself educated people?
or
smaller kids would say to their parents: " Mummy, why I must call this Jie Jie, grandauntie? She is so young, just older than me by a few years only wat. I dun want to call her that."
(Hello, excuse me? I see you once a year and you expect so much from me? There are so many of you how can I remember. I received education, I can pity you for not receiving but that doesnt mean I dun understand. I already tried my best to address you. Have a heart and see my efforts.
or
Excuse me, I dun want people to call me grandauntie too. But I also bo bian right? I dun want to be so old also. Ask my mum, why she got born so late. not my fault.)

If you are married...........

6. When are you going to have kids? Must go check check if you cannot make it leh. The technology so advanced, you can get want you want. Dun worry. I got some secret formulas too, you want to try also?
(What secret formula? You mean deer's p***s, tiger's whip and so on? C'mon lor, yours got no medical proof leh. What if I want to be hippie couple then how? I dun even like kids leh? Geez, stop controlling my life.)

7. How old your kids liao? Going to enrol in which school ah? Must die die go to good school lah, neighbourhood schools are very bad wor.
or
Your ah girl in which school ah? Heard she's in integrated programme leh? So clever hor.
(Aiyo, for god's sake, please lor, this is the individual kid's future. How they want to walk is their own business, as long as they dun stray can liao. So wat's wrong with good or bad schools? Those that eventually go to university eliminates the need to know which primary, secondary or JC that they came from.
or
So what if the kid from IP? Is there a need to be jealous? Your kid can do as good as mine what? So what's the big deal?)


8. What is your husband working as ah? So good ah, earn so much sia. My ah-lau not that clever leh, but hor, isnt that industry that your husband is in, a bit volatile?
(So? What does the occupation matters? It is not a race wor. AS long as your hubby dun stray, constantly bring money home to support u and your kids, is safe and sound everyday, why u want to differentiate the industry? Different people have different specialty so what if volatile environment or stable environment? They are all work.)

9. Eh eh, what is the horoscope of your ah boy, ah girl and your husband ah? No lah, just ask for fun, see if you match or not. hehe....not bad year for them leh... but must be careful of your health ah.
( What business is that of yours? As long as I know mine, can liao. U long long time never see one come and ask me this kind of question abit on tangent ah... KPO!)

10. Eh eh...cant think of it liao...so end at Question 9 lor.




Anyway...forget those kay pohs.
