Things that make me laugh and cry

I'm being to slowly admit to myself that yes, I am an emotional person.

Though most of the time I do a pretty good job of behaving pragmatically, logically and in the most "efficient" manner. (being emotional is hardly efficient, no?) I have come to slowly realise that I am emotional (gross) So, here are the list of things that make me laugh, cry, laugh till I cry and cry till I laugh.

Things that make me cry (or tear uncontrollably)
1. Old people in old folks home, old people who walk alone on the streets, or old people having a lonely meal by themselves at Macdonalds. (Tho friends have informed me that perhaps they are alone cos they're seeking solace from irritating grandchildren. Granted. but...)

2. Other people crying (On OPRAH, award ceremonies where actors/actresses I don't know or don't care about win a much deserved award....) Yes, in fact, I shed a tear this morning for Martin Scorsese who won a long overdue BEST DIRECTOR award. I didn't even know it was overdue till I heard it on E! (What, you think I follow "Mr Bushy Eyebrow's" career?)

3. Guilt

4. Sad songs

5. Anger - Mostly when I feel wronged. Or treated unfairly. Or both.

6. Death - Mostly in movies where there is usually one tearjerker who screams and shakes the corpse wailing " WHY!! WHY??? Why did you leave me so soon!!??" BOOHOOO!!

Things that make me laugh

1. Top of the list: Crappy Taiwanese game shows. Where celebs and plebeians alike go on to humilitate themselves. Freaking hilarious.

2. Cute babies. Much as I hate kids, some babies are just too cute.

3. When BC and Ben make up stupid lyrics and butcher otherwise great songs. I know, i try to NOT laugh when they replace any word/lyric they don;t know with "Father Mother Ass Backside" etc Its LC but somehow, its a reflex action to laugh.

4. Stupid word games and silly friends who make up silly names of cities that do not exist. EG. Beijing, Hunan, Hu Chou (as in Body Odour) Whahah.

5. The shopaholic series books. Bloody Funny.

Well, the list probably goes on and on, since I have now opened the floodgates of my ever gushing emotions. Haha.

What a boring CNY. Just married last year so am no longer entitled to ang pows. How much more boring can CNY get?

ANG POWS : N/A

Goodies: Full of carbs. Cannot eat

Shops: Closed and even if they are open, there is no mini windfall (aka Ang Pows) for me to spend

Weather: Hot like anything! If not it'll be pouring!

Fortunately there was no visiting for me this year so I don't have to constantly dish out the "Oh i just got married, first year no need to give Ang Pow" lame excuse.

WAHAHa

But it was a good break anyway. Connie Yeow was back but she was sick. So no hawker goodies for her. Poor thing.

Its still CNY, so things may get better yet.
