Year of the Golden Pig

Chinese new year comes with hongbaos and new year goodies. Hongbao wise, it seems to be lesser and lesser each year despite the economy doing better and better. I suppose it just the people getting stingier and stingier.

Being an undergrads also implies that CNY is really short. With midterms one week after CNY who could possibly really enjoy chinese new year. In addition to midterms, there were tutorials and assignments to add on to the misery. Although I cut short my CNY and went back to hall, I played majong almost everyday. It is really an addictive game, very addictive.

Organising CNY dinner during the "week of midterms" isn't a wonderful job too. Late nights were unavoidable but thanks to the kind and understanding Deco IC and chairperson, the week didn't become worse. At the very least, I still had the night before the tests to study and it is not as if I would have studied way before that. Luckily the dinner turn out quite well despite the expected low attendance and unexpected lack of food.

Hope everyone has a prosperous Golden Pig year ahead!
