Welcoming the new year of 2010
Happy New Year! New Year resolutions are one way to look forward to having a better year than last.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
This year must be one of the most boring Chinese New Year I’ve ever had. Apart from the lack of enthusiasm felt from all corners of Malaysia (my friends in Seremban, Penang, Muar, Perak, KL as well as Singapore all told me the same thing), it is my definite bad fortune that I fell SICK during this most joyous time of the whole year.
I was so looking forward to having a drunk fest during CNY… Alas, it was not to be. As it is, the famous B151 (all the way from Australia) is still sitting patiently on my dresser waiting for me to finish it up. Sad, very sad.
Anyway, the MAJOR achievements I did this CNY were:
1) got my bro to wear the SAME t-shirts (in M, L, XL respectively from oldest to youngest, from left to right) and manage to bully them in taking a picture!
Note: All their smiles were FORCED. By me of course.
PS: Don’t you think they look 0h-so-adorable especially with the golden rat?
2) manage to corner all my uncles, aunties, cousins and my delicate grandma to take pictures! After several snaps from my camera I suddenly found everyone whipping out their cameras to do the same… *sweat*
Note: My beautiful girl cousins. All younger. No, they are not available!
A new year
…is almost always a merry thing as it signifies the death of the lousy previous year and the birth of a brand new year:
a new outlook + a new approach + a new resolution + a new job + a new relationship = a refresh hope.
Happy 2008!
Happy New Year folks! I for one am particularly glad to send 2007 away and welcome 2008 with a big warm hug! …All because according to Lillian Too I will have ample Peach Blossom luck and super duper good career luck this year.
Despite needing to spray artificial snow on unsuspecting victims; accidentally ate some artificial snow myself; walking on wet, dirty floor which ruined my new red shoes; squeezing through the throngs of packed human (almost like sardines in a can) who stepped on my hexed toe; soaked under drizzling rain which spoiled my new top; got star strucked by cool Chinese Singers like Justin, I had HEAPS of fun at Bukit Bintang celebrating the all brand new 2008!
I wanted to write more but my credit is running out so here’s to wishing you all a healthy, happy and fulfilled year 2008!
