Shux...

Happy new year!! oh shit, cny holidays is over! so sad, back to school tomorrow. *sob sob* allright, new year this year is boring. doing the same old stuff over and over again. For as long as i can remember,its been the same routine on the first and second day of cny.

Highlight of cny:
1)Zoo.
The Q into the zoo was super long.. super long. for those who remember how the zoo entrances look like, the Q stretches all the way to the taxi stand at the noight safari that side. Entrance fees was not cheap, 15 bucks per person, not inclusive of tram ride. Many people in the zoo, we din stay there for long, about 2 to 3 hours. covered less than half. the best part in the zoo was the Polar Bear token feeding show (as in token of appreciation for entertaining the crowds with their wave. ). Inuka and sheba (mummy) were the two bears in the zoo. Had a good seat and so i caught everything very clearly. inuka were asked to catch a live fish. and he did it very expertly, cornering the fish and then catching it. So Smart. haha. for those who have not been to the zoo, quickly go. heard from my aunt that the polar bear will be going home soon, when the mummy die i think. And it was like a foreign worker congregation in the zoo. so many can. the air-con area became their smell. and it was not so enjoyable. you know what i mean. haha. not being racist here or anything.

2)dinner at Shangrila hotel.
i felt kind of uncomfortable when i know that i am going there to eat. you know why? Cause must wear nice nice, as these places usually have their dress code!! DARM THESE PLACES. Upon reaching, the place look really grand. we were urshered into the guest room. two tables there, main and sub. as usual, i and my aunt were escaped to the small table, usually more casual dinning there. haha. and the room look nice. it look like those tvb drama when they have their meals in those restuarant, and the room will have sofa, KTV and mahjong table. Unfortunately, that place only have sofa... but its good enough le. saw the menu. and it was lousy. intially i thought everyone will have one big abalone each. food. yeah, one abalone each, one BABY abalone only. haha. dinner ended at 10 plus and wet home.

As you can see, my cny are really dull. i dun even do visiting. do not think that we are rude people or cheapo trying to save on ang pao. but this is the traditions in my family. i saw my great grand mother, she look really old and weak. soon, i think. after that, the Tan family will be broken. i am certain. My family runs a traditional gold shop in chinatown. as frequently portrayed on TV, there will be internal struggles on the family fortune. my grandfather seem to be losing the battle, and there is plenty of trouble, i think. was not told of anything, but i can see and i can hear from my gradma's gossip. haha....

a person's life should be measured in terms of quality and not quantity. i dun mind dieing soon, just let me have a fair share of this beautiful world (friendship, kinship, ipod, handphone and stuff). Just like mrs lee, she passed away gloriously, as she has always lead SMSS to. Front page of the papers here, what more can she asked for. Minister even came down to the funeral.

shall end here before you start complaining about oh-so-long and oh-so-shitty post. haha. bye. HAPPY NEW YEAR. oh ya, ang pao collection was dissapointing this year. below the mean. =(
