its as if my brain has stopped functioning (this prolly explains why im here).

where others deemed chinese new year to be the time to get rich (getting ang baos and gambling), i see it as a time to catch up on studies! yes! the interest of getting ang baos diminished as you get older. but theres a couple of things i love doing before/during cny and that is patronising those makeshift stalls in chinatown where vendors sells all sorts of cny goodies/enjoying the quietness at home while feasting on chx rice and goodies/visiting friend's place to help finish their goodies! and people's day that falls on the 7th day of cny where you get to savour seven diff vegetables cooked tgt in a dish.

its been raining the day before due to the cyclone from aus and it showed no sign of slowing down. i had anticipated that the crowd at chinatown to be esp badass on a sunday! with streams of ahmas doin their routine cny shopping, tourists squeezing their way thru tiny streets and ppl snatching for free samples. o.o but there were none this yr! thanks to the rain man! else it would be disastrous. the trip this yr sees fewer varieties of cny goodies with jellies from taiwan and aggressive vendors selling muah chee dominating the place...where are all those friendly vendors last yr!? i was hoping to enjoy my purple, black and red peanuts but...PEANUTS!? WHERE ARE YOU! its quite depressing to know that theres only one type this yr. better luck next yr. still, i had the most awesome lunch with broom plus the trip to the coin museum and tintin shop that we chanced upon. the rain stopped and the crowd filled the streets in no time.

Tschus!

(: im sharing my smiles with you
