im beat...
today isonly the second day of CNY and im like super tired alrdy.
but Cny seems to only last for 3 days.
after the 3 day, im gna start rotting at home alrdy.
but i love chinese new year!
its when the whole family actually settles together and do catch up[s].
the thing about my family is rather interesting cus,
firstly, we're straits-borned chinese also known as peranakans or baba[s],nyonya[s]
secondly, my family's big.. i mean really big.
thirdly,we run to almost every uncle and auntie's houses.
i guess i dun hve to say abt the peranakan's history cus the "lil nyonya" actually introduced the history. but seriously, its not all right. actually spotted alot of mistakes. few basics were also seen. and peranakans are observant. well in a way luh. first thing was the sarong they wore.its wrapped wrongly.den was the address.address as in the way to address a person. say mother was nya,that was right.but mother in law is not nya.its neo. tia is father that was also right but father in law is eng tau,not tia. great grandmother is more known as chor ma instaead of chor chor. and the pantuns, peranakans seldom sing the same song. but i hve to admit that the baju kebayas were reli pretty. the show is actually real in a sense of clothes,food not so cus there were more usual dishes that were supposed to be shown like ayam buakeraks, itek tim, babi ponteh etc. its now like an in thing when it comes to peranakan stuffs cus of that show. peranakans are really particular i should say. so if u see a real peranakan, try not to offend him/her cus u'll nvr noe that kind of hard tym u'll get of the nags u'll hear!well, i am a baba kia:) peranakans are really good cooks! i swear if u get to taste the real cooking, u'll start to crave for more.
my family is big. if u would to count the third generation, which is my generation, and according to rank by age, i am no. 43. if count rank frm 2nd generation's kids, i am no. 45.
this is only where i stand with my cousins.
the second generation ther is 18 of them.
10 guys, 8 girls.
my dad is no.17 /18.
because the family are peranakans, u'll see them in a different light when its not chinese new year. my uncles and aunties are ppl that u wuldnt wna mess ard wif if u're not called "family".
fierce as they are and fierce as they look but fun to be with when they are they.so if u think my dad's fierce, u have not met the family.
i managed to take pictures with almost all of my uncles.
actually to make fun of my dad and compare their eyes.
cus i hve small eyes and i think i know who's gene that is from... cus seems all my uncles have small eyes... this is my first uncle.
