All about Expectations

3 days have passed, since Piggy started serving its one year bond. Hee.... My family and I visited a few places to give out red packets to our relatives' children. Not many people gave me and my brothers red packets, as we are working adults. Some relatives are asking the same questions year after year, reflecting their ignorance. They assumed that things should develop according to their forecasts. Any changes would not be acceptable to them.

Last year, they were told that my 4 year relationship has ended. They were unhappy that they couldnt see her before we ended. This year, they were curious why I dont have a stead. If I do have a stead, they expect us to settle down within one year. If I dont settle down, they would say I am fooling around. If I am fooling around, they would say I am not young anymore. If I want to remain single, they would tell their children not to follow my footsteps. They are the prosecutors and I am the accused on the stand.

When it's time for a small gambling session, I would opt out. By not joining their game, they would spite me with indirect remarks that I am stingy. I am silent, but my ears are opening wide. I would rather donate to any charity than lose a single cent to them. Despite their "pulling" efforts, they still cant get me involved. :P

There were some new faces around. One of my cousins brought his gf to see my grandparents. She was accessed as a pre-candidate for Miss Singapore Universe 2007. The panel of judges was formed by my aunties. They judged based on body beauty, speech ability, character and qualification. Fortunately, I dont have to cast my vote to support anyone. Lol.
