Goose of Christmas Past
Hi all, its been sometime since i've blogged eh? hehe.. here are some things that happened over the Christmas weekend.1) Went for family Christmas dinner at my aunt's. Some topics that came up were pretty interesting, like how Chinese are usually non-conflict loving.... but only externally!
This is pretty true ain't it? The general idea was that the Great Wall wasn't built to keep out intruders, it was to keep all the fighting within the family! You know like how to save all the best shit for yourselves... hahaha.. so apparently, the Chinese loved the fight so much that they didnt wanna share. Hence we built the Great Wall to keep all the good stuff...
Ok, now look at it in today's context. How often do you see Chinese families openly fighting with each other? All the squabbling takes place WITHIN the family tree. This auntie cant get along with that uncle because the other nephew of the thrice removed retarded uncle apparently stole sweets from the adopted niece of the illegally conceived maternal parents of the family dog. (WTF?) yeah..stuff like that...
Show me a Chinese extended family that gets along just fine with each other but butts heads with everyone else and I'll show you a my third finger.
Look, i'm not shitting on anyone's families. I'm just saying its just part and parcel of what we are... and how our families work. So sit back, relax and enjoy it. there's nothing u can do about it.
There was also this auntie that kept getting champagne/ dessert wine spilled/ sprinkled on her... hahaha.. u shoulda seen it... or rather seen me trying not to laff REALLY loudly. Firstly, I think someone spilled champagne on her by toppling the "clear hence difficult to see and so i hit them causing them to topple" champagne flutes.
Later, her hubby decides that sitting on the edge of the chair is really fun and exciting and proceeds to. Usually this would indeed be a very daring yet safe act, which would have impressed everyone at the table, bringing him adoration and loads of applause. Except in this case, the chair was a foldable one from Ikea. Sooooo... the bottom snapped back and his ass kinda slipped of the chair.
This not only did not bring about the daring, much-adored act of balancing on the edge of a chair but resulted in a slow-motion, buggy eyed Matrix-like fall backwards. The buggy eyed effect was much emphasized as he had gotten his hands on another champagne flute (come to think of it, i think he toppled the first one) and was staring intently at it as he fell to the floor. I think the chair didnt really fold the first time but nudged him in the ass a little as he fell, because he looked like he kinda hit a bump on the way down. The champagne splashed up and out of the flute, once again showering said auntie in joyous sprinkles of alchoholic goodness. This time it was sweet, because we were drinking dessert wine. The prints from the last surprise baptism had hardly dried before they were superceded by a new bunch.
Sooo... u could say i found my entertainment this year too. hehehe..
Also, here's a retake of my last encounter with wrapping. I did not wrap anything (on my own) this year. ha!
2) Here a coupla videos for the ol' faithful WRT Christmas.
