Happy Chinese New Year lame brains

Happy Chinese New Year for every Chinese out there. For those who are not Chinese….go back to work/study. It’s none of your business. (Nah nah nah…*being smug*) Why we need Chinese new year? Well…for me, it’s just one good excuse to spoil myself with candies and soft drinks…what about you?? Some might say for the ang pau ( I don’t blame you ..you bunch of gold diggers); others..you let me know.

There are many ‘customs’ we need to follow during lunar new year. Here are some of the customs in my family, and rules that Editor, me…follows.

Top 10 Chinese New Year customs ONLY for me

10. No sweeping? My mum says: “ We sweep every single day..I don’t want my house to look and feel like garbage can during Chinese new year”. (She has her point)

9. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yes…so important that we get proper meals like rice, dishes, soup meals for the first 3 days of Chinese new year. My grandma: “ It’s the only time we get to see everyone…” Cause afterwards we are on the hunt for ang pao.

8. Never..I say...NEVER go to cafes+yum cha. Not only you get to charge double for the same old stuff you get everyday. It's like war out there. At one point I remember I only get one dish of dim sum for the 1 hour sitting in the cafe!!!

7. I don't care what other people wear. Yup. I really don't give a damn. For those who dresses up...like chun li ( the street fighter character...Trust me..I saw one who literally dresses up like one). Please...just go in front of mirror and take a look at yourself. I don't mind if you want to be pretty for chinese new year, but..be the best looking you can be...not be someone who you are not.

6. I will wear black if I feel like it. I know...It's bad luck to wear black-according to chinese customs. But, imagine a room filled with people who wear red. It's like in H*LL. So, unless I'm wearing black, with a broom and a black cat. Just leave me alone in my own little world.

5. NO MORE NEW YEAR SONGS PLEASE!! Arrggh..I can't take it....

4. Why Mandarin? Have you wonder why when you go in someone's house, seeing those grown ups having mandarins? Anyone can tell me why? Is it a trend?

3. For girls only- NO BIG BAG. Do not bring a overly huge bag when you go friends house. There's only 2 really bad reasons you're doing that. 1st, you're giving signs that you're a gold digger, hunting for ang pao. 2nd, you were trying to steal those candies on the table.

2. For guys only- No ugly japanese flip-flops. I don't care if you feel comfortable, you look like an idiot. Pay some respect.

1. Hola for those who 'invented' 15 days of chinese new year. We get to celebrate 15 days...not just one...muahaha~~

My little trip to capital city of Malaysia-Kuala Lumpur

After the long 2 months of summer holiday, the much awaited trip to KL, is the time of relief and celebration for me. Relief, is because I don’t have spend my time looking at the time on the clock, counting the time I need to wait till I get to bed at night, it’s the only time I don’t have to think. Celebration, is because I finally get to splurge myself, with shopping spree.

With my little over 6 kilos of luggage (total), I headed of to KL-the city that never sleeps. After 2 hours and 45 minutes of Air Asia experience, which isn’t that much of a fun, I finally smell the air of the city-polluted air that is.

Shopping starts first thing in the morning. Summit is the first station, followed by mid valley. I was still craving for more after 8 hours of non stop ‘cardio exercise’+ ‘weight lifting’ when my friends drag me to the most important event of Wednesday night-the legendary Pasar Malam. No regrets going to Pasar Malam-Great food, great bargains, a massive crowd. Tip #1 before you go to pasar malam-Make sure you wear your shorts and thongs. IT’S FREAKING HOT!

For the days, Shopping is still priority, but thanks to sweeties Ginny and Aaron we’re able to go relax at a hot spring spa- A good rest from all those retail therapy. We went to Kim Gary for dinner, Secret Recipes for lunch, Williams for supper and Pavilion, just for the hell of it…cause we can’t afford stuff in there. At the last night before we left, we even get to go to sky bar. Looking at the ‘twins’ at night is awesome for like 5 minutes…well, we’re from the 21st century where we have short attention span due to televisions. Music sucks, but the companies are great.

Overall, I, the editor had a blast. Hope more trips to come…after I overcome my bankruptcy.

*Special thanks to sweetheart Kenichi for standing by my insanity when his foot is bleeding. Ginny and Aaron A for bringing us to great places. Henny for coming to meet us for Kim Gary. Aaron C and Suk Hui for the Williams. Vern Li for sky bar. And Eu Jo, nice meeting you.

Thought of the day

"Breaking your own heart, is harder than letting someone breaking yours."

When I look into your eyes, my world around me stops...

But now...my heart stops.

When I heard from you, I have butterflies in my stomach..

But now...I have tears in me.

When the world around me do me wrong, I smile...

But now...I can hardly know what's right.

Missing is hard? Or missing "missing" is harder?

-sigh- Stay breathing is harder than it seems...

You guys rock

I, the editor, consider year 2007 a good year. This is because knowing you guys. Yes..the lawson street gang (or those near lawson street). Lawson street is my second home...
