mandatory cny post hehe. 

i quite like visiting actually. it's pretty fun!! esp since you only see those people like once a year or something. sometimes i wish i had a bigger immediate family so that we can visit more people and have a livelier cny. realised today that our immediate family is small while our extended family is HUGEEEEEE. and we don't really visit the extended family so in conclusion my cny is kinda boring. 

but from the one unplanned visit today i did learn a bit. so this 62 year old granduncle of mine fell from a 25 storey uncompleted bridge 13 years ago and broke a whole lot of bones. there were spikes at the bottom, but thanks to God's grace he landed between the spikes. imagine if he landed on a spike omg the impact would have been sooooo bad he'd prob have been skewered or something. but yes he's fine now and is doing well in life + looks extremely youthful like younger than my dad. inspirational. 

anyway today during dinner, i learnt that we cannot judge an orange by its peel. HAHA. there were 2 oranges left and one of them was nice and smooth while the other was wrinkled scarred and ugly. so i decided to be nice and sacrifice and give daddy the pretty one. in the end when we ate the orange mine was sweet while the pretty one turned out sour. but anyway through this extremely lame and random illustration God told me that sometimes when life calls for us to make sacrifices and we actually make them, it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. God does take care of those who do good. also, don't judge merely by what you see - people and situations. people may seem weird but can actually be very nice friendly and normal on the inside (oh by the way ytd i was at nex with charles and suddenly this random guy and girl approached us and made friends with us because they were doing some campaign thing. but anyway, initially i was apprehensive about talking to the guy because he really looked weird. but after talking to him i realised he's perfectly normal and friendly so yeah) . ok this whole paragraph sounds preachy and lame and primary school moral ed lesson but it's really what i learnt so i thought i'd write it down HAHA.
