do you dread cny?

[MisterRei]

I dont mind all the relatives visiting as long as they dont bring their child to mess up the house.

What bothers me more is that most of the delicious food stalls are closed. Those that still opens charges a CNY surcharge..

parents sure bring kids to visit during CNY so that they can collect angbao

 

[Chunchunmaru]

CNY is a mixed bag. For kids, it's to collect ang pao, enjoy a few days without school, and hang out with the other kids.

For the married adults, it's a few days off work, but lots of visiting, maybe a bit of wallet bleeding, and an excuse to put off the diet for a few days/weeks.

Single adults probably get it the worst. Too many questions. Far. Too. Many.

I don't dread CNY. Only dread the spring cleaning and endless eating and need to shred off the extra kilos after all the feasting.

I am just wondering whether this is traditions still continue for the present young gen who already cannot afford a car.

the meaning of CNY getting more diluted each year
now instead of asking for ang baos or QR, ask for WIFI password/QR first

And getting sore throat and coughing which I hate cos some one need to get rid of the goodies.

One day all the relatives that you dread seeing will no longer go to your house…perhaps you will start to hope seeing some…

I love CNY! The festive atmosphere and festival food! Chat with relatives that we met once a year!

I don't remember if i had any sore throat. No need to finish so fast lah, i took few months to finish them. Those i don't like will be in the office pantry and let the ang mo eat.

Hate visiting those san gu liu po relatives.

ask questions as if concerned but actually just want to gossip and compare with their children only.

I’d rather stay at home and sleep the 2 days.

I dun really buy them cos they are expensive now.
They are killing me previously.
And I need to cough for 2 weeks.
I dun need to visit any relatives cos most of them are gone.
And I dun talk to any cousins or nephews.
