Highway season

Its a new chinese year in 2 more days and i have been struck by another epiphany. Epiphany: Chinese New Year (CNY) is like travelling down a highway in Malaysia.

First there are the cars that suddenly all appear on the highway ( relatives you hardly see ). They shuffle about at high speed, trying to find a way to avoid the toll booths ( greedy little unmarried nephews,cousins, grandchildren etc ) who charge them an exhorbitant fee to pass ( ang pau ). Luckily for them, once they pass an individual toll booth once, they dont need to pass it again. Except for the really forgetful ones ( lost cars ) that keep going round and round forgetting which toll booth they have passed ( greedy unmarried nephews,cousins, grandchildren who dont mind collecting another ang pau from the same person ). These lost cars are really damn poor things. haha

having said that,i think i have the best set of relatives ever. Never had the above probs with them. Plus they all damn supportive. Ok ok, enough crap from me. Happy New Year all and go try that cable ski thing in ECP while its still cheap....wait...dont try now...wait til i have my fun first then u can go crowd the place.damn.
