CNY long weekend (4)
年初一, stayed at home till 13:30, fried 半底蘿蔔糕, finished all except a few pieces...
couldn't think of anything to wear, so just got dressed in what i wore on nin 29... same as m... had found a pair of ages-old levi's blue cauduroy jeans from the luggage and it somehow fitted again!!!!!
went all the way from the southwest tip of hk island to grandpa's, which is at the northwest tip of new territories... arrived at 15:00 with no serious hiccups, just missed a bus stop and walked a bit... as usual, nothing to do at grandpa's except 1. listening to the elders talking family stuff and 2. watching the kids playing 鋤大D, with the supervision and advice from uncle n, who is expert in the card-playing arena...
uncle n-1, auntie n-1 and their kids were still not in sight by 16:00 and somebody started to ask what time they had committed to arrive... and somebody answered that auntie 3 said they couldn't come until their kids woke up (目訓醒) - and their kids are university students, not babies!!!!! The 3 generations of the family were waiting for these two young men to wake up so that they could come to grandpa's and we could bai nin together to finish the rituals... men, if they were my kids, i would have 兜巴醒-ed them already... 開年唔駛擇日... >_<
one good thing... nobody asked me when is my turn to distribute lai see, they just ask me to take someone with me at the next gathering, and then next cny they will give him lai see even if he doesn't appear on 年初一... guys, interested? ;)
