A "Water-Snake" CNY!

  Hey guys, and I just came back from my parents' hometowns, Melaka and Johor. And I got as usual A TON OF ANG PAUS(Red Packets). Now not to be rude to the CNY lovers, I thought that this year was ALMOST THE SAME as every year. But it wasn't typical, because this year, its the year of the snake, and some snakes live in the water, thats why this year was a RAINY CHINESE NEW YEAR! But I wish that I could make every CNY fun and unique, or not if we keep on the typical (meet,greet,open palms,ang pau recieved! - short example) CNY routine, it will get boring.
  I know for the adults, they get to meet their "long time no see" siblings and relatives, and they get to talk about lots of things, they get to gamble, they get to compare their children with each other("Your son is VERY skinny, he should eat more!", "My daugther got 3As, 3Bs, 3Cs", "He is SO TALL now!", "She is very pretty now!"), if you know what I mean.... But for us teenagers, we do not have that much to talk about, and for the invention of electronics and video games, it some how ruins the mood of CNY, last time when we were small, we were so happy to meet our cousins and play together. We got so much to play, either we play the "Try not to laugh","Continue the random sentence","Hambuger(Another version of Rock, Paper, Scissors.)". I also remember us telling ghost stories at night, but some of the stories had a funny twist, turning it into comedy.
  It was "True Fun", but now its just us on a bed, playing IPad games, then we would get interrupted by our relatives giving us an Ang Pau, then we would greet them, nd back to the game. Then we would have a moment(An hour or so...) of electronics, either we play games(The bois), or take pictures together or ourselves.(The gurls) 
  It really wasnt that of a special chinese new year, but overall it still was great to meet our cousins again and get to bond with each other more. My guy cousins from the Melaka Side is much bigger than me now, even though I grew taller, and they now get "serious" on how they look, and definitely DO NOT LIKE to get touched on the hair. Because they are starting to have girl crushes and all, to the age of impressing girls and going in the showing-off zone. More special things is that the rate of people calling me skinny and taller has grown, and my orginal math teacher(Tr. Tick Siang) needs to leave the school because he needs to get back to his father's company(Not sure why...), and our new teacher, Tr. Amos(Yes, its the Amos from Famous Amos :D) and I think he is the youngest teacher in the whole building.
THAT IS IT FOR THIS WEEK'S POST, AND I AM STILL WORKING ON MY NY SOLUTIONS, ANYWAYS HAVE A GREAT FRESH WEEK!
