新年期間當然有好多禁忌啦, 樣樣要好意頭, 呢樣唔做得嗰樣唔講得.. 咁大家有冇認住邊幾句話, 係當啲唔識趣嘅人(寒喧)一問, 就兜口兜面一嘢埋嚟, 崩口人忌崩口碗嘅呢?? 譬如話:

CNY is all about auspiciousness, so the chinese believe there are many things we can't do and say during CNY, else they will bring bad luck.. so have you had something that when somebody asked about, you feel like a stab in your heart?? for instance,

well..that's very usual for those people..take it easy..
ReplyDeleteyeah, i'm immuned to all those questions.. and i think they are also tired of asking the same questions again and again every year, hahahaha~~ :D
DeleteMuahahaha! Yeah, those questions are undeniably a pain in the @ss!
ReplyDeletenot really a pain in the @ss, but i really find those quite nonsense.. asking the same thing every year, i bet they are too lazy to think of some other more interesting topic to ask?? :D
DeleteBut those are common questions 无聊 (wúliáo) ppl asked.
ReplyDeletethat's why, normally these are relatives questions, most of the time relatives that you most probably see them only one hour every year during reunion dinner only~~ :D
DeleteJust to break the ice, since this is annual meeting... they don't know how to start the conversation.
ReplyDeleteyeah, at least these questions are making more sense then "today's weather is nice yeah" right?? hahahaha~~ well, gotta get used to it..
DeleteMoreover, some are quite busybody to know about your relationship, $$$ and perhaps it's time to boast about themselves, too.
ReplyDeletecan easily differentiate whether they are genuine to ask or they are trying to gossip or showoff how well they/their children are doing lah.. so the way i respond also depends on the situation one.. :D
DeleteMany like to comment that I look 福 physically - meaning I grow horizontally....
ReplyDeleteYalah, aunty already what do you expect? A body like 18 years old meh? I'm no supermodel, ceh!
hahaha, so next time you tell them this statement deep inside your heart lor.. hahahaha!! and i can guarantee you, they will straight away shut up and will never ever ask the same question again~~ :D
Deletelol! that's a familiar scenario.. but i think most of them ask that just to create a conversation.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you ask someone who you haven't seen for a long time, to start a conversation.. Hi! you look beautiful? :)
hahaha, true also lah.. but sometimes it's quite tiring to entertain those relatives that you might be seeing them only for one hour or so in a whole year i.e. during reunion dinner.. so not making sense to talk all these things deeply right??
DeleteLOL.....for those married will be when gng to give birth and when gng to have 2nd ones...
ReplyDeleteyalor, and sure mamarazzi every time also kena asked when you want to complete two "好" right?? hahahaha.. :D
DeleteLOL, quite true quite true~
ReplyDeleteyalor, especially those relatives that you only see them for one hour during the reunion dinner every year.. :p
DeleteAiyorrrr!!!! CNY cannot scold people lah! Why like dat one? LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteof course cannot scold people lah, just in the heart only, wakakakakaka, they won't know.. the face is smiling but the heart is scolding :D
DeleteOh yeah... those questions =_= geez....
ReplyDeleteyeah, tired of answering the same questions with the same answer every year repeatedly right?? :D
DeleteThere's always people who will ask "insensitive" questions. Just ignore them.
ReplyDeletehaha, to them those questions are insensitive, but to those being asked could be very sensitive!! :p
DeleteThe questions will never end one.
ReplyDeleteIf single, they ask when we get married.
If married already, ask when we have children.
If got 1 child, they ask when the second one coming.
Child big already, ask when child get married.... endless cycle. @.@
hahaha, very true lina!! give me five, so we can never runaway being "interrogated" by the relatives.. especially those whom we only see like maybe for 30 minutes during festive in a whole year.. hahahaha!!
DeleteYes! Very true!!
DeleteSo, let's not get married then! ;))
hey, not getting married because you want to avoid those questions?? haha, that's a very big sacrifice don't you think?? :D
DeleteOh! You broke up last week!?
ReplyDeleteSo, when do you find a new one? Will you marry the new one? what's the name of the new one? What do you have in mind for the name of the baby from your marriage with the new one?
Let me know if you want more questions! ;))
hehe
hmmm, thank you for the heads-up.. i would have thot replying that i just broke up last week would shut their mouth up, but then seems like there's a possibility that there comes more questions!! oh my gosh~~ @_@"
Deletehahaha i think this is the topic always come out from most of people's mouth hehehe
ReplyDeletefor me, i think most of people will ask me "When is the second baby ar?"
hahaha, very true!! those questions always have endless cycles and you cannot runaway from them.. haiz, guess we just have to get used to it and just smiling to entertain those relatives lor..
Deletehahaha bitchy nyer...
ReplyDeleteyou are right!! "hahahaha" on the face, but "bitchy nyer" in the heart when entertaining them!! :D
Delete哈哈哈~~~你见惯世面，嚟一招四两拨千斤，咁就乜嘢“危机公关”都化解晒囉！呵呵呵~~~
ReplyDelete梗係啦, 年年都同樣問題, 我已經身經百戰懂得點樣見招拆招啦.. 老實講, edward兄你都應該有番兩下散手啦~~ :)
Delete在FB还有人做了一个图表出来tim
ReplyDelete网上都可以找到标准答案了（一整套的）
Like a stab on your heart < ---very true
虽然说年年都一样 不过还没结婚的 一到人家派红包的时候就尴尬了
人家都给到不想再给了 好像很亏本酱....
哈哈, 其實我已經看過了, 這個post就是inspired by那一個圖表的囉.. 其實沒有a stab in your heart那麼嚴重喇, 我的人看比較開, 所以只是覺得很無聊, 沒有覺得很hurt喇..
Deletebut seriously u broke up last week? :O *sorry* lol
ReplyDeletehaha, no lah of course.. just put something behind that question to create a big contrast only :p
DeleteI always get this kind of question, even on some special occasion too . . . .
ReplyDeletehaiz, i think this is very common lah.. they would have all sorts of question thrown to you, irregard of your status one.. it's a never ending story..
Deletehaha got people say I thin (because he say he one year no see me) and he is dam slim I so envy XD
ReplyDeletehaha, good lah, people say you slim down leh!! i've not hear this for so many years already, everytime ppl say the other way round, wakakakakaka!!
Deleteyou know, sometimes I feel like asking back the same question, then they also feel hurt, then I was joking and smile say that "aww we are the same" LOL
ReplyDeleteend up when they saw me, they dun dare to ask and need to wait a year after only ask me again wtf LOL
yes yes yes, give me five!! sometimes if we confront then they will not dare to ask anymore.. hahahaha, good huh, you are 以其人之道還至其人之身!! i like that, let them feel the pain and they will be more careful in the future~~ :p
Deleteand sometimes people ask me "business good or not?"
ReplyDeletelol I say no good how? they will help me and invest me or not? joker XD
yalah, must answer them in a cold way, so they would know we don't like that and surely they will keep the mouth shut and change topic, wakakaka~~ :D
DeleteI agree la! New year ma! Please say only nice thing la! Don't treat people say anything negative ho! I will really watch out before opening my mouth. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteWhat??? Thambee broke up with Kamala???... Luckily not true!
ReplyDeleteI agree that CNY is the best time to greet and wish everyone in most auspicious manner!
ReplyDeleteI never question anyone or hurry them to get married. I know the feelings as anay was the old bachelor to get married.
ReplyDeleteI always wished the unmarried ones to get healthier and wealthier for the coming New Year!
ReplyDeleteHowever I would wish the school kids to play lesser FB games and study harder.
ReplyDeleteMy Thambee is fatter or thinner this New Year 2012? I wanna slim down so badly as everyone remarked that Anay looked 'Prosperous' this CNY! yikes!
ReplyDeleteI remembered during my bachelor days when I would shun the questions asked by the elders who gave me red packets! I would tell them that i could not find my wives at 7-Eleven. LOL
ReplyDelete哈哈，又或者回一句：你唔好口水多過浪花啦！
