Gladly usually my relatives never ask questions.

And all that pleasantries and rituals can get tedious. <BR/><BR/>So luckily for me, after my family migrated to Perth I've only had mild celebrations here. And although I may go back to Malaysia every so often, I'd make sure to not go during CNY. :Dmooinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528203441804814127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-48462870989370718002008-01-29T20:47:00.000-08:002008-01-29T20:47:00.000-08:00Ha ha.

Here in the east, concerned relatives would very often take the gathering of Chinese New Year to impart their well-wishes to us. I can anticipate how many relatives asking me when I am planning to have a baby already! Haha, me and hubs are planning the most minimal courtesy appearance for such occasion and opportunity. Maybe we would only appear on the first day. Then disappear after that. And hey, maybe we would go hike or cycle in Ubin or even camp overnight. We did that once and simply loved it!WaterLearnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139805235427951649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-38307705344082102902008-01-29T19:03:00.000-08:002008-01-29T19:03:00.000-08:00Precisely.

You should know of some super caring (aka nosey relatives). When I was not married, they would keep asking when I was settling down. Now that I am married, they would be sure to ask when I am having kids!<BR/><BR/>I know it's out of good intentions, but some questions can really corner me if they were asked in front of a big group of relatives.WaterLearnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139805235427951649noreply@blogger.com
