Forever Alone Day and CNY

Ni Hao to all readers of my blog :)
     As Valentine's Day was last Saturday and Chinese New Year is just day after tomorrow, teacher has decided to combine these to special days in February and asked us to blog about "What I Dislike About Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year." Very weird right? Most people ask about what you LIKE about certain days but this is the first time someone has asked about what I dislike. Well, we must embrace changes in life and this assignment could be actually kind of fun as it is something different to try.

     So.... Valentine's Day, or in my opinion, Forever Alone Day(FAD). Why I call it FAD? I'm honestly not very sure but the name just kind of stuck with me. What I don't like about this day is probably because as the name states, I'm forever alone.

Well, at least for now.

Honestly, I don't really care if I see other people going out with their mates cause in my opinion, I'm a little too young to date, don't you agree? There's still a lot of time for me to 'hook a line' when I'm in university. What I REALLY don't like about this day is that if you have a partner, you have to waste a ton of money for them just to please them UNLESS they are someone like me who doesn't really care about Valentine's Day. When I grow up, I will pick someone who doesn't really care about Valentine's Day. In my opinion, Valentine's Day is just any normal day where you DON'T necessarily have to celebrate it with your partner.

     Now, to start on my second topic, Chinese New Year!!!!!! What a nice time of the year. I mean, what's not to like about CNY? Here are some reasons on why I LOVE CNY:

1.  Ang Pau

2.  No school means no homework

3.  Wake up late

4.  Good food

5.  The hours spent on playing cards

6.  Ang Pau

But of course, not everything about CNY is good. Everyday has it's up and downs. So, these are the things that I dislike about CNY:

1.   I can't talk Chinese well, and unfortunately all my relatives are Chinese educated

2.  Putting up decorations

3.  Cleaning the house

Man, it's not very nice being a banana. Vary hard to communicate with my relatives. Luckily, I can understand some Chinese words and that can spare me some shame. For example, Chor, when I play the game Chor Dai Di. Spring cleaning is also very annoying but other than that, CNY is a very nice holiday. And another down side is for Chinese who are studying and celebrating CNY overseas. Like a friend I know. She doesn't get any school holidays during CNY which is one of the best things about Chinese New Year. Poor girl.
     Guess that's all for know. And to everybody out there who is reading my post, I wish you guys a very Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day. Or for those single people like me, Happy FAD.
