Things To Do During Chinese New Year

1- Pretend invisible ang ignore glances from bypassing relatives
2- Pretend dumb  so that people find it a hassle to chat you up
3- Pretend busy so people are afraid they may disturb u from making a major decision
4- Pretend you are suffering from high cholesterol and blood pressure and have symptoms of diabetes so you can be excused from eating butter cookies


 And some reasons why I hate Chinese New Year;


1- it's just the moment of the year when people vow to have a better year. The moment they are wayy to excited celebrating the new year with liquor and some mahjongs, the have already forgotten their vow.
2- it's also the time of the year when people turn hypocrites. all flaws are hidden. everyone try to portray the best of what they can offer, from household interior to their first day clothing U_U
3- people have a sudden mood to be competitive. housewife walk around the neighbourhood comparing new year adornment, aunties go around passing cookies for all to try trying to make sure they have wide acclaimation that their cookies is the best!
4- people turn into activities deemed addictive ; buy Toto, gamble like there's no tomorrow, drink , drink and more drink, buy more lottery.
5- people do not practise the need to be thrifty. after all its the time to splurge and show off the wealthy side of the family. wallet may be thinning, bank account may be depleting but no one cares. there is an instant and simultaneous need to show off.
6- it's also time where sugar consumption are high, cholesterols too accumulating, carbs too are getting a place in the abs. ya, this is the time to be unhealthy. 
7- host turn into darn hostile people, practically forcing guest to try out the food and junks spread they purposely get ready when they see u coming and hoping to hear a word of compliment on the junks.
8- the concept of giving money make ppl frustrated and the concept of receiving money excite some in. my case, i hate both. 


I find it lame.
In fact as years passess, it has become so mundane and lame that this year, we had Maggi mee for reunion dinner. Me and Ma. Very illogical to slaughter a chicken for 2 women's meal. And I adjourned to The Paradise, in Sheraton KL for that once in a blue moon clubbing. Yeah, I am not as cool as perceived. I have a lump of boring, nerdy, workaholic and staunchly religious group of friends.
If I did not see wrongly, I seem to be the only Chinese in the club =D Surrounded by skinny Malay mois clad in the tightest cheongsam. Pretty tacky as it may sound as the deejay kept yelling Gong Xi Fa Cai amidst the R&B line ups.

Oohh... did I tell you I love my new MNG tiered toga, X'mas pressie from boss ;)
Ahem... in XS-S size and I can fit!! I think it's the African sizing they are labelling there =P

Earrings from Vincci Accessories, MNG tiered dress 

 In auspicious red tiered jersey material
 T-Bar heels from Fashion Barrage

(sorry for the last drunk look. minum memburukkan mekap)

damn short, but I loike!!

I so prefer gulping down Vodka and raising hand at no reason everytime the DJ asked to do so than going house to house to eat pineapple tarts ;(
I hate waking up to the day when the neighbours' lobby are overflowing with many  pairs of visitors' shoes that remind me of the festivity...
I think in general, I hate happy events O.o  like X'mas, Chinese New Year, Labour Day, or any other days when people are happy...because I ain't happy. When was I ever happy?

last last minute baru nak beli limau!!

On the first day of the Chinese, I wore a thrifted maxi from OldScoolBoutique, paired with my quilted working bag and slipper from Bangkok. Nothing smells new!
Ma was disgusted with me as she spotted me coming out of the shower with my hair all wet on this aupicious first day. Now she would hate me for ruining her slight chances of striking Toto for the year as I have just washed away not only the vodka and ciggie smell, but also all the possible 'ong-ness' that I may have on my head O.o

New Year Resolution : to wear more short dresses for the year and ditch the 'dickhead' style ;)

How was your new year?

And Thats All I Did On the Eve of Kong Hei Fat Choi..

brrr........

This is how I feel every time Chinese New Year come. Not the kinda celebration that I look forward to.. Over the years, having to go through the almost stagnant process of visiting people from one point to another covering more location every year made me ponder the real meaning of the 'event'.

Synonym to the culutre of the chinese whom are known to be enterprising and posesses good business acumen, and will do anything that the feng shui master instruct just to get some luck or strike some 4D, the celebration too are called Gong Xi Fa Cai! which literally says : Hope u get big fortune !! man... that just shows how our mind really never steer away from the wealth eh...... while the rest of the people exclaims 'Happy New Year' , we yelled 'Hope U Strike Some Fortune'.

As auspicious at it may be, it's really annoying.. though I would love to be flushed with a pot of wealth at the scream of the greeting. I supposed it just shows how we Chinese honour the piece of paper with the Agong's face that it has become a sort of celebration that the new year will bring more Agong's face to the wallet.

I foot his bill :S

Eve of new year is just.. another weekend of nothingness. Nope, didn't feel delirious nor happy to usher the new year since Ma have repeatedly remind me that I am gonnna be in a string bad luck since I am a cruel person...of no positive karma.. so it's confirmed Im gonna see u guys in hell.

Tea time with 'cocky'. Someone just attempted to pay for the food amounting to RM16.10 with a credit card. WTF WTF WTF .... waitress confused. I paid. FULL STOP.

All I had for reunion dinner.

Reunion dinner was never grand for us since there is only me and Ma. Nevrtheless there is always food, which I am fine. was roaming Jusco with 'cocky' to get his HTC stylus.. bad idea..... Kepong is dominated by gold haired ah bengs, and its Chinese new year's eve ... what wud u expect to find in an area dominated by Chinese yuppies at 6.30pm ??

reached home at 7pm and Ma stared at me point blank.

Ma : eh!! U are back? err.. I ate alredi. Thought u are not coming back for dinner. (heads to shower)

Me : --_____--

And that was the harmonious dinner we had to usher 2009.

Went out with 'cocky' again later that nite to watch 'Dunia Di Bawah : UNDERWORLD- THE RETURN OF THE LYCAN. Man!!!! If all that is required to make a movie, I think I can do it too.. Make the characters turn into some weird beast, then each beast start slashing at the human. Slash, slash, slash.. reminds me of Hari Raya haji, where people sembelih lembu massively, so the cows all return and revenges by slashing the human bean back... OURWORLD : THE RETURN OF THE LEMBUS...

snap, snap fireworks!

By the time we are out in the parking, 'cocky' saw fireworks in the sky. demanded i stop the car and watch firework.. U_____U

the land of the Ah Bengs and gangsters anene, KEPONG


photography skills sucks

Been living in Kepong for 2 years plus or so. In fact this is the first time I sorta really never bother to look out into the sky of Kepong all this while I resides here. Cus I hte where I am :(

Then the fireworks display were everywhere.. within a gap of 30 second another new fireworks at a different spot occurs. Well, it clearly pointed out that Kepong people are rich... (maybe due to repeated greetings of KONG HEI FAT CHOI)

As far as I am concerned a 5 minutes show of fireworks display with arrays of actions definitely equals the amount of deposit required to purchase a national car, the very least. And there are many 5 minutes or more display that we have witnessed and put in clear evidence with the unskilful photography skills the both of us combined. :D

nope, no one set Kepong ablaze yet.


another display of bad skills

How's your new year?
