my uncle and me The Ah Lams

my family(4/5)

Happy CNY to everyone and hope you have a good year ahead!

I consider myself pretty lucky as i will only spend one cny in my entire army life. probably two but i suppose i have leaves and offs, i hope? I swear cny is getting boring each year and that it means the festive mood is gone and what's left is only blackjack. this year's cny is so darn hot, i practically sweat with air-con on and its not just me. i noticed, ironically how gambling can bond people together to become cooperative while on global scale, developed countries are not doing their part in environmental issues. aren't dey also gambling our descedents' future? yes it is a micro vs macro problem and yet there is no resolving promises from the developed because it revolves what we called root of all evil - money. CNY without gambling is not what it is, right? i realise, i hate losing in studies but i fear in gambling.. money's temptation is so strong.....

yesterday, my uncle said to me that i am his precious nephew. at that moment i have this inadvertent thought, and that is, i swear i would shower my nephew or niece(my sis' kid) with all the love i have in me. I will spend time watch him grow so that he will never have to go through what i went through. it wont be so soon, i cogitated to use all these time wisely to become mature and a wiser man, erm nono, uncle.. lol. most importantly is my temper and patience, they are never my virtue. perhaps this is the lam's genes in me..i noticed how dominant this gene is among my family and relatives..while there are recessive ones though and i am glad they exist to realize how immature i am at times..

my biggest regret of this cny is i never take photos!! argh..cause everyone arrives at different timing. and that i have stm - forgot. darn! luckily managed to take some pics yest, before lao yu shen. i was in the red shirt becos i changed to test my luck on the table, not that i will wear that 6 bucks shirt i bought in giodarnna(omg i cant spelled it) for army's cny celebration and yes i am superstituous, that explains my winnings, maybe.
