Oranges
Today, we went visitng all our relatives. We left at approximately 9.30am.. maybe that's why i felt so lethargic the WHOLE day. Even when I was driving. haha. ANyhow, we made it there in one complete piece so there.
Why do we give Oranges?? Why not give apples?? Or mangosteens? Or say even Pears?? I was told by my dear brother that oranges are given cos they are orange in colour, and they represent prosperity. They are given in pairs to signift good luck. I mean.. why not give a pair of red apples instead?? Red is an auspicious colour also mah.. ANd the thing that irks me is.. you take the trouble to bring like a whole bag of oranges whereever you go, and at the end of the day.. you bring the SAME bag of oranges home too. Man.. I mean.. WHY BOTHER?? cos you lug 2 oranges in hand when you go "bai nian" at pple's houses.. u go to them and hand them over saying Happy New Year... then, they HAND THEM BACK TO YOU. Please loh.. why bother to do that then??
ANyway... went so many places today.. sigh.. couldn't wait to go home and count hongbaos.. hahaha then afterwards I'm gonna catch "Seoul Raiders" with my cousins Elgin n Janice and my brother. I KNOW!! dunneed to say ANYTHING. hahaha its a lame movie.. but it's all that's playing when we're convienent. I say, W. (haha ZQ taught me shortform) (ie W = Whateva).
deb's outta there..
