I am so bloody tired, but I just can't fall asleep... Insomnia acting up again.

This CNY proves to be the most tiring one I've ever had. Or maybe that's because I've come down with lesser energy than I had the previous years. That last sentence doesn't make sense... Whatever. 

I forgot how noisy it was during Chinese New Year; The lion dances, the exploding sparklers, and the terrible karaokes that this neighbourhood adores. Heck, my little cousins were too high on sugar and were running around screaming like... I don't know, little kids? I don't remember being that hyperactive. 

Despite the unmemorable moments of CNY, there were enjoyable moments too. I really love it when the family comes together. I liked playing with the children, despite their high energy levels. I like talking to my great aunts and uncles, and uncles and aunts. And it's rather interesting to eat KFC on our first day together. And I realised since my first reunion dinner, this period is the time when I start speaking a lot of Cantonese and Chinese, more the former. Weird, isn't it? 

What other trivia? Oh yeah, I dealt with a lot of dogs this year. Got bitten, but since the dog's rather old, it's not painful. Heh! I enjoy playing with the dogs anyway. They're a lot better than cats. 

Anyway, Happy Lunar New Year:)
