Post CNY

I jus discovered that some of my distant extended relatives ie my grandma's sister' children manifested my worst CNY nightmare. The nightmare that the elders will not give me ang bao if Im not around. In other words, out of sight, out of mind, and also out of the ang bao league. I told my mom before CNY that such things will happen but she insisted that our relatives arent so stingy. Thus she brought me out on chu er, when our extended extended family normally come for their visits. True enough, in my absence, they conveniently did not give me angbaos. To think they are executives and all. And SG is supposed to be in its boom period this time round. Eventually they do not even want to spare at least a $4 angbao. O the disgust....

Anyway this angbao absence does little effect on me. I know Im much worse off this yr compared to the heydays. What more can a small loss do to me....

Another revelation I discovered is that growing old is pretty scary. Some of my relatives were talking about cancer and hardened livers, cataracts, diabetes or in other words, the Top Three Killers in SG.. Freaks me out that the old (ie future me) is prone to such detriment... I may not be fat now but I can imagine all the toxins I am imbibing presently. Better start watching my diet and start ex. O the horror...
