I love Chinese New Year.. including the part about spring cleaning. Yup!! It's nice to get the house into her top peak condition once in a while. Other than being eligible and able to collect many ang pows, wear new clothes and shoes, feast on many yummy chinese goodies...it's also a time to really catch up with friends, family and relatives. Yes yes yes!! Relatives...despite some persistent Uncles and Aunties that like to ask the same set of questions every year. The set that we all know too well. I included some suggested replies for such standard questions. =P
For those Single and yet to be attached ....
Auntie & / or Uncle : Why no bf? Why no gf? Must go find one...Want Auntie / Uncle introduce one to you or not?
Auntie & / or Uncle : Wow already not so young... must quickly settle down... dun be choosy...
Ans 1 :I waiting for your grand-son / grand-daughter to grow up.
Ans 2 :You mean gf? (If you are a girl) / bf? (If you are a boy)
For those attached but not married ....
Auntie & / or Uncle : When you want to get married? Why not settle down yet? Must quickly get married....
Ans 1 :Erm...tomorrow. You mean you never get my invite?
Ans 2 :He / She is still below 12.
Ans 3 :I am waiting for Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie to dump Angelina Jolie / Brad Pitt.
For those married but yet to have kids ....
Auntie & / or Uncle : When are you going to have a baby? Get a golden pig Lah.
Ans 1 :Erm...I want an Elephant / hippopotamus. (Whatever that is not within the twelve horoscope signs)
Ans 2 :I waiting for the stork to drop me one.
For those married and with kids ....
Auntie & / or Uncle : When you giving birth to your second one??
Ans 1 :I am waiting for my lover.
Ans 2 :We had enough with one.
Yup!! They just won't let you go har... if you have other funny answers, do Let me know!!
So what was mine's?
Grandmother : This year must find one already... Must get married. A woman must get married. Cannot be an old maid.
Me : Aw...aw ...aw... *nodding head but mind switched off*
Grandmother : Find older guy better. Got money and would dote on younger wife.
Me : Aw...aw ...aw... *nodding head but mind switched off*
Grandmother : But you not so young already lah. Older woman loses her attractiveness.
Me : No Lah!! Por Por...now it's the trend for older woman married to Younger guy.
Grandmother : Haiya. You old already Lah. chin chye... chin chye lah.
Me (to self) : I am NOT old. *Protest*
