How to Behave During CNY

CNY is one of the biggest event you will probably experience in Malaysia, especially among Chinese. Therefore, knowing how to behave during these important days will save you alot of problems and making you an understanding friend as we are staying in the same country.

8 things that you should/must/better aware of... (Based on true story)

1)Angpau is more than just a red packet with money. It symbolizes hope and fortune given from the victims (i mean those who give you angpau). So, if you visit someone's house, don't be so rude to ask for angpau, don't open the angpau instantly or don't ask and spread the news regard on the amount of money inside the angpau.

2)It is not compulsary to wear red but try to avoid clothes that are black, with skull or any satan potraits, animals head, vulgar words, thick coat (Hello, Malaysia is full of hottie, it is damn hot here), songkok (Wrong place, WTH?!) and sexy-prom-night dresses.

3)You know that Chinese are not allowed to sweep the floor. So dudes, please be considering when you are trying to dispose your gabbage. It is not funny for the house owner if the whole Coke landed on a white sofa or collecting kuaci one by one on the floor. Though they respond in a gentle way, but you will know what happened when you leave the house.

4)For those who like to include vulgar/harsh/not-so-good languages or words in between sentences, please choose one of the two options provided. A) Think everytime before words come out from your mouth or B) Just keep ya filthy mouth shut.

5)CNY is the best chance you can get into someone' house. However, 'treasure digging' or 'shopper' attitude are no no. Don't simply go to others room and start digging people's wardrobe and asking the price of the limited edition SpongeBob boxer. Avoid touching people's valuable items such as vase, plasma TV, PS3, dog, pictures and maid.

6)Watch out the way you react in other's house. Do not attempt to make youself stupid by hopping around the house, standing on the sofa, eating till you feel like 'ta pau', taking/demanding more than one angpau, drinking beer till you drop and curse when you lose in poker card game.

7)Something are better when they are not reviewed. Don't try to act hardworking on CNY. Harkworking= "I wanna do homework, got three exercise books to do." or " Let me finish my Hairy Pooter first." when other are busying chatting and gathering. Come on, you can do this later. Save it for yourself.

8)Please do make yourself look good during CNY. Make sure you have yourself well dressed, brush your teeth, wash your face, change your inner, style your hair properly (For those who have extreme hairstyle like me, god bless you. I'm still thinking how to style my hair to look more 'guai'.). Trust me, you will get more angpau and more praises from vistors. You definitely dislike the feeling of people cursing you during CNY.

Last one,

Happy Chinese New Year and Wish everyone around me is as healthy, as tough, as full (Cow is fat), as 'milky' (Mean more money) and as easy-go-lucky like cow this year ;p (No more psy stuffs this time, Loki)

From my uncle's t-shirt...

We went for a kaw kaw shopping recently and professional shoppers like us have no problem to hunt down 5 or 6 t-shirts with all these kawaii phrases.

Sometime it is just a matter of fact that some 'holy' phrases can potrait a different meaning if it is from someone else mouth (exp - me ;p)








See, it is just the matter of perceptive. The same accident, if occured in a comedy, will be a joke while when occured in a horror movie, will be a heart-stopping terror. It depends on how you view the matter, what is your mood and how to do react to it. CNY is just around the corner, so enjoy your holidays and let the fire crackers shine the whole night despite the risk of getting summons from our friendly neighbourhood, policeman. ;p

Kampung

Most of us trying to eliminate all the antiques and old stuffs which witness many days along us. We tend to hunt for modern and breath-taking (as in the value) items and we are so proud to own these flashy branded items. Hey, all of the furnitures here are way older than me. They were about the same age with our country, around 51 years.

One of the oldest item you can see in this typical kampung house is a jug that served as one of the gifts on the wedding dinner of my grandparents around 50++ years ago. Hahahahaaha, it just looks like a piece of old classical jug before i know about my grandparents' love story and my mom's childhood. The bad news is the cover of the jug was no longer there, just like my grandpa who left us 7 years ago.

Life is like a journey, driving toward a particular destination and memories are views that you have passed. Whether there are mouth-watering stalls, a deadly accident or pretty chicks waving to you, once you stopped, it will be hard for you to continue your journey. To those who have stopped, time to move on. No point stopping and looking to these scenery. You will never reach your destination. Whether the memories were good enough for you to be spellbounded to it or bad enough for you to try to delete, once they were gone, forever they were gone. Unless you are trying to break a world record by driving without looking in front, let what has behind, gone and what has left, as a casual conversation topic in future.
