things fall apart, the centre will not hold

i think my family is a prime example of the loss of chinese tradition.
This year i didn't wear new clothes for chinese new year, and when we went to Ama's house, instead of chinese food we had mostly pizza from pizza hut (not that it tasted bad, it tasted good but still...no popiah :( )
and then all the uncles and auntie's when they finally arrived after waking up late because they had been watching football late at night the previous night, only stayed for about 1/2 an hour, and all the kids did was watch a Hollywood movie about Christmas on the TV
