firstly, i would like to thank you for taking time off ur busy schedule to come visit my blog. Secondly, i would like to wish all a Happy Chinese New Year.


this new year week is a very busy week. on the front note i went visiting and stuff, collecting angbaos and all the other stuff Chinese do on cny. it was supposed to be fun, eating all the sweet tidbits and junk, collecting cash in red paper, legal gambling, meeting up with distant relatives, dressing up in red all the time, etc. Yea, all this was supposed to be fun. But Hey! i don't feel the cny atmosphere this year man. All the above mentioned don't seem to be able to portray this grandeur Chinese festival. The new year feeling did not ooze out from anyone. if people are not wearing red, i'll think that it's just another house-warming man! how could this happen? it's all because of one thing. One thing that only exsists in my eyes. That is the absence of some people. The absence of 'blackjack'. The absence of proper planning. I remember the days when my grandma was still living in Bedok Reservoir. Everything was well-planned. On 1 day, every1, big or small, made an effort to go down to my grandma's place to celebrate cny together. When every1 was there, the atmosphere become so Shiok i tell you. You can hear all the chattering, laughing, and the children running about. Den when it comes to gambling time every1 will sit around that nice, polished woodgrain oval table and start taking their cash out. It was just so fun. This time around, many people are busy with their own lives. Not many people could sacrifice this type of time anymore. Yes, how sad it is... hyaiz..

I read my horoscope for this year, and it bodes well. I couldn't have wished for a better prediction for this year. However, how often are these predictions true? Many said you'll be rich but you still see many charities out there asking for money to help the poor and handicap. Can you still believe the horoscopes? My horoscope says this year will be a smooth-sailing year for me, but hey! i've already encountered major problems here! i mean, com'on, if the predictions are correct, i can just go out there and buy a lottery ticket and i'll be rich my whole life man. Speaking of problems, problems are a menace. They kill your time and energy. Money problems can kill relationships. Love problems can end a life. What good are problems? If i could make 1 wish come true, i would wish that all my loved ones including me are problem-free and all live happily. But i know this won't come true, haha, unless my horoscope is so 'zhun' as it said almost everything i do will go smoothly. Dots.


I could try to make things easier for everyone, but it will not be fair to someone. So i've decided to let things remain status quo, and let that problem dissolve by itself, i hope. For the time-being, HAPPY CNY TO EVERY ONE AGAIN AND ENJOY YOUR NEW YEAR! TO ALL LOVEBIRDS OUT THERE HAPPY VALENTINES! TO MY MUM AND DAD, as if they will see this, HAPPY VALENTINES TOO!


To everybody coming to my house on sunday, take care and see you soon!
