my chinese new year....>.<

so thats that eh..out with the old and in with the new they say..any truth in that i often ask when the old is for rememberence and the new is for experience..but so be it..the new year's come without much of a bang i must say..this years chinese new year is kinda..bleak...the just isn't the old gusto about it that made us all drool over the thought of chinese new year..i think i speak for the general public when i say that chinese new year has lost its flare..yea people still gamble, yea we still drink but the money we win just isn't that sweeter and the beer just a bit more bitter..

i wonder whether it all has to do with tradition..yea sure its stupid..i mean don't wash your hair on chinese new year day..not wearing black and not cursing throughout chinese new year..yeah right!!i wonder what all the asian goths have to say about that..but come to think of it tradition does make chinese new year that little bit more special..and in this case, the very essence which it lacks..enough with that..back to my chinese new year

well, as you can probably tell by now, my chinese new year was, well, bleak. nothing much happened. actually nothing happened at all. lets see, watched memoirs of a geisha with the usuals, good show btw, which i am sure my dear readers would know since people who read my blog only consists of a certain few which i am sure they are aware of who they are and never ever seem to tag my board which makes my life infinitely sadder. right back to my life, lets see, after much contemplation between my parents we decided to go back to batu pahat after all, what happened in between is rather complex like a kompleks enzim-substrat. so we went there hung around ate dinner stayed fdor two nights, incredibly boring stuff got ang pow(that honestly was the best part), played golf and that was it. then packed for johor bahru on the second day of cny got there ate lunch, went for dinner went visiting, listened to old geezers talking about their yesteryears and how lucky we should be(nabeh!!) got ang pows(again the best part) and went back the next day. chinese new year?? what chinese new year?? where are all the drunkenness and all the gambling!!! geez..even my ang pow collection suffered cause of the "nogambling "policy going round nowadays. WTF??!!

haih.....*sigh* chinese new year really isn't what it used to be back then. it seems everyone's feeling the stress now, some unforseen force has put a 10 ton brick on everyone's shoulders it seems. i mean chinese new year seems to be a passing fad thats very quickly evaporating. it seems nowadays people are just more interested in resting and just lazing around(including myself i must say) then doing stuff that we call traditional and chinesenewyeary. yea there's the ang pows but really think about it, are they doing it as a sign of good luck and fortune or are they just doing it so that the little kids would shut the hell up at let them watch more football(man u lost wakakakakaka!!!!). but i guess i shouldn't complain, as long as they keep giving i'll keep taking i suppose. but one things for sure, i've certainly grown fatter. yup, thanks to all the glorious food..O GLORIOUS FOOD(the ONLY good thing about cny this year next to the ang pows of course) they kept feeding me and feeding me. glorious or chien and you char kuih mmmmm..food*drolls homer style*

well thats that eh. yup thats my chinese new year, my last one here to,off to melbourne next year, my last chance here and what a dissapointment i must say it is. but boo hoo life goes on eh, and as they say, thats all folks join me next time, same place as ever, god knows i ain't movin'

oh..before i forget..have a swinga dingalin chinese new year ya'll!!

p.s. GUYS!!!!TAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
