Chinese New Year Woes

Don't get me wrong. I love Chinese New Year cos HC usually just stays at home and be with us.

On the eve of Chinese New Year, HC brought us to her parents' place for lunch. While the human were having lunch, I had this....














This Fa-Cake was placed at the ancestors' tablet and HC's parents thought they had it well-hidden (from us) by blocking it with other stuff (plates of un-cut fruits and wine cups). But I have since learnt how to take the Fa-Cake without upsetting the rest of the stuff (yes.. this is not the first time I had taken the cake).

Quietly, I grabbed the fa-cake and ate it underneath the dining table where the humans are. I figured that if I eat underneath them, they wouldn't notice. (Have you heard of the Chinese saying that the most dangerous place is actually the safest?)

And I was right, no one noticed me eating the fa-cake until HC's dad got up from the dining table. By then, hiak-hiak... it's too late. I had eaten almost everything (including the paper that wrapped the bottom of the cake.

My woes started almost immediately after that. You see, the fa cake is almost the size of my head! I had a bloated stomach and had trouble walking properly, and I looked as if I am gonna puked any moment. But I held on (of course I am not gonna waste the food), and didn't puked till at night.

HC was laughing at my misery the whole time.

this is how my stomach usually looks like.















This is me two hours after the fa cake.






























(HC : This pic was taken 2 hours later. He was actually more bloated immediately after he ate, and really walked very slowly for a while. heheh..he really deserved it!)
