GONG XI FA CAI everybody!
Happy Woof Woof year! haha. yes tt is so lame. and i do speak chinese ok. haha. most ppl seem to get shocked when i wish them GONG XI FA CAI!! yeah. GONG XI FA CAI again! :P
anyway, to
apple: of cos i LOVE the present. u know what happened when i got it what. hahaha. so embarrassing. :X
ben: i got a job ok? haha. dun think u're the only person with a job now :P and when is the next time "when u see me"? lol
drea: HELLO! GONG XI FA CAI! thanks girl. miss u! long time no see! how have u been doing?
von: no la... where got tough. haha. stare at ice cream the whole day. and im not married yet. :P no hong bao for u. hehe. where's ur mother's pineapple tarts!!!!
charle: THANK YOU SO MUCH! hahaha. muffinsss...... (think of homer simpson salivating image) =)
idz: hey hey girl! they won! yeah!!!! and they're playing with liverpool in the next FA cup game. too bad for liverpool huh? they have to endure being beaten by man utd twice in a roll. :P
ok now tt it's done, just wanna say tt im a pineapple tart expert now. haha. this is soooo horrible, i've been to everyone's house and tried all their pineapple tarts regardless of how appetising they look. my motto is : must try what! but i must say i still like those pineapple tarts which are covered and have soft pastry tt will melt in ur mouth. yum! haha. but i know some ppl like charlene tan likes hard hard pastry. hehe. but anyway, taka was selling cheese pineapple tarts. im not very crazy abt cheese, but i;ll say it's still good.
chinese new year is really a fantastic festival. i know a lot of kids nowadays (im saying kids becos i am old now. 19!!! in the past when i was 14, i used to think 18, 19 years old ppl very old. sigh) dun appreciate chinese new year anymore. tt is really very sad. and did i tell u american culture is really the worst of any culture in the world? american life is so sickening. fast food everyday! and they promote spending beyond ur means and i-dont-give-a-heck-if-ur-farmers-die globalisation AND i-like-to-fuck-everyday sex. anyway u get my hint. the damn list is long. so, being in hur hur modern day singapore where kids are influence by the west, many kids think cny is redundant.
sigh. seriously, it's not. it's the time of the year when u really clean ur house and when u do it with ur family members, u can plan this and tt and where to put the decorations etc. you basically get to spend time together. and u also get to see ur relatives... even those u haven seen in a long while and catch up with each other. and when relatives and families all gather together, the atmosphere is always so nice and happy... aunts and uncles exchanging stories and jokes and the young ppl mixing ard. and of cos we have the usual gambling. even though i dun encourage gambling, but it;s really fun to play with ur relatives. even if the stakes are like fifty cents or one dollar. but really, it;s a good tradition tt should never be forgotten.
i was just thinking to myself when my dad was driving us to pay another visit to another relative tt cny in the future will be much more quiet. in the past we had HUGE families. a family could have 10 kids or more. and during cny, there;s a lot of visiting to do. however, we only have 1 or 2 kids in each family, there;s really not much ppl to visit anymore. yes, maybe ur friends, but then again, hmmmm ?? they are still not part of ur family tree. and look, ppl in the future will not place so much importance in traditional festivals anymore. but i have no idea why ppl like christmas, even if they are not christians or anything. oh. it must be the bright lights, presents, christmas music and how can i forget? the influence from the west. oh "haha". kids like western festivals more than their traditional ones now. hur hur hur. the west is king! the west is in my bloodstream!
ok what cock am i talking here. i like western music. shoot me shoot me! im contradicting myself. ok, maybe to redeem myself i should say tt some stuff from the west is good. but not everything. we dun have to blindly embrace everything tt the west throws at us. i like westerners' generosity.
anyway, what started this feeling for my own chinese roots must be Jet Li's latest film, "Fearless". hey i know it;s some cheena show. i myself would not have gone to watch it if not for the fact tt my family was watching it together. the surprising part abt the show? It's good. It's fucking good. better than those romantic comedies tt are killing everyone's brain across every cinemas nowadays and the delusion tt u'll get whatever man u fall in love with in the end. To watch the show "Fearless", is almost as if to immerse urself back into ur own roots again, to get a grasp of how you should be proud of being a chinese, and not call our mainland guo ren as cheena because we are all ultimately chinese ppl whose ancestors came from china in the past. the show teaches a lot of other lessons too. 5 out of 5 for me. because it made me proud to be a chinese again.
therefore, once again, GONG XI FA CAI! =)
go watch the supposedly last martial arts film Jet Li will ever make!

Hmmm, im not talking abt the HIM song which has a similar title of "When Love and Death Embrace". But tt's a nice song anyway.
well what i really want to say tt i have a love-hate relationship with food! and it doesnt help tt most of the shops in shopping centres are mostly converted to food. and more food. sometimes i think the % of food to clothes etc is bigger. Turn a corner in the shooping centre and u sell signs screaming "Hong Kong Delicious Tim Sum", "Australia's Fish n Chips", "Triple Chocolate Brownies", "Cheese Pineapple Tarts" and the best thing is they cry out "MUST TRY!!!".
oh well. anyway i know im just finding excuses. haha. but seriously, many a times there's this urge to sample all of them at one go, but then i have to stop myself. why cant we have four stomach like those cows. ok now i think i like cows. they have four stomach and they dispense milk. and they like to eat greens. i love greens.
shopping centres are getting boring too. there are TOO many carbon copies. in other words, many shops are opening branches EVERYWHERE. for eg the shop "ebase". you see it almost in every shopping centre tt u stepped into. i was in marine parade shopping centre tt day and it was there. so was almost every other clothing shops. and there's TOPSHOP in marine parade too. nth is exclusive anymore. and recently charlene t was complaining abt globalisation. it's like last time u could only get those yummy never seen before chocolates in australia. but step into any good supermarket and u'll see it there. it's good in one sense. u get whatever u need right here in singapore! but then again, what's so special abt it now? nth. everything is everywhere. and sooner or later, we dun even have to leave the country to get whatever we want. heck, they'll build a portion of the Great Wall here soon. It's like England, England!
stupid shit.
here's a nice song to complement this post.
i like the version by Finch though.

the empty silence surrounded me.
it went round and round me today
coiling me up and leaving me
with nowhere to run.
the memories and emotions caught up:
seeping, soaking.
returning from my mental space,
but the spot is already empty.
it's almost like "28 days later"
whereby the guy wakes up from his coma,
only to find the life and people he used to know
gone. dead. disappeared.
i am sorry.

i have a headache. but i need to get this out.
Blink 182 - I Miss You
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
the shadow in the background of the morgue
the unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
we can live like Jack and Sally if we want
where you can always find me
we'll have Halloween on Christmas
and in the night we'll wish this never ends
we'll wish this never ends
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
this sick strange darkness
comes creeping on so haunting every time
and as I stared I counted
webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
don't waste your time on me you're already
the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)

happy new year dear friends! sorry for being a bit late but whatever.
so yes, was going home today on the train and apart from my heart feeling the pinch from the adult fare, my eyes was poured with acid with the so wondrous view of this guy digging his nose so intensely. i think he was trying very hard to finger the offending lump in his nose. then i guess he get bored or he was hungry. he started biting his nails. and he seemed to found sth delicious as he was sucking on it. gross i tell u. so freaking gross. and he was oblivious to the stares i was giving him. yes now i know ignorance is truly bliss. and he didnt end there. he went on the give himself a boogie facial as he used his fingers to touch his face. i have no idea for what and im not interested in it. yucks. ppl like tt really turn me off. and there was this couple on my right doing PDA. what is the world coming to?!
urgh.
