You will become lively after you eat lettuce.

7:58 PM

This year Chinese New Year me and my mum went back to Ipoh for reunion dinner. This year was quiet because most of the family member unable to come back on time for dinner :(


On the same time, is my uncle's birthday so we celebrate together with Chinese New Year Eve. 





The aunties were preparing all the dishes while I start to enjoy the food on nom nom.

And I overheard a conversation between my uncle and his angmoh friend. 
Angmoh: What is this? *holding a lettuce*
Uncle: This is lettuce. After you eat this, you will become lively!
Angmoh: Huh?!
Uncle: In cantonese we call this 'shang coi'! 'Shang' means life! So after you eat this you will become very lively!!!

At that moment, I almost spit out every bit of my food and start to burst out loud laughing non stop. hahaha. Lame joke of the day.

Later on, is my mum's turn. Again I was just beside my mum when we lousang and I heard a conversation again. The chinese always shout "Huat la!' when lousang because that means prosperity. And this angmoh start asking question again.
Angmoh: What is the word you all shouting?
Mum: 'HUAT LA!'
Angmoh: What??
Mum: 'HUAT LAAAAAA!!'
Angmoh: 'WHAT LA???!!'

HAHAHA. Lesson of the day, never underestimate the mandarin cos that's how the english came from wtf. 


And the next day, we start visiting to relatives house for angpao! Finally I got a cheongsam to wear!! I always wanted to wear but the dress were too exp and only wearable once a year else you wanna wear on ghost festival. Good luck.
