Chinese New Year

Four days of Chinese New Year celebrations.

I use to love having more days to celebrate the occasion; now, four days feels like a lot. Apart from the first day, the remaining three days are just repetitive visiting of relatives we have already exchanged greetings with on the first day at my grandparents' houses. The activities are the same too: play cards or watch TV programmes. I probably would have enjoyed myself more if mahjong was available.

I had thought of going out with friends or meeting up for mahjong sessions, but with all the visiting that I felt compelled to follow, my plans did not materialise. I thought of making better use of all that free time, but somehow, it just does not feel right to study during Chinese New Year. I ended up wasting my time on games and TV...

Damn! Why am I feeling frustrated at unimportant matters when the more pressing issue of exam is just round the corner? Urghh!!!
