Anyway, what Chinese New Year means is gathering, it’s not getting drunk or holidays or any sort. Even though I cannot tell that this Chinese New Year has been a great one, but at least everybody came back home just for today.

Chinese New Year junk food

Another thing about Chinese New Year is the junk food. You get it everywhere on every house you visited. I am seriously in need of some fat burners product for these few days. I believe most people getting 1kg to 3 kg this 3 days alone.

Keep well and have fun… Let’s work the head off like usual again :)

Commercialized

Chinese New Year getting not-so-exciting every year. Recently I have a drink with an old friend. He told me that, he started to feel that Chinese New Year is just a longer public holiday. He don’t get the excitement at all.

True. While I was jogging with my mom and wife the other day. My wife and I went to look for a drink, so we stopped by a kedai runcit, without thinking twice, I grab a chair and sat down, start any conversation with the owner, who is a Malay.

He said “Tahun Baru Cina sudah dekat ni, banyak bagi duit lagi kah?“. Then I told him that I don’t know why would Chinese giving pocket money on Chinese New Year. He told me he has no idea too, it is just a simple holiday but people making it complicated. He told me that even Hari Raya started to give “duit raya” also.

Seriously, nothing, I mean nothing in our daily life is not purposely commercialized. Everything is commercialized, even the birthday of Jesus has become the “the big fat red shirt guy coming your house to give your present” day.

So why wouldn’t I devote more time doing something more beneficial than to see things that has been twist for commercial usage???

Yeay

Firecracker
Finally it’s here. Chinese New Year started right now! Though I did plan for some visiting now, but none of my friends allow… Sound so lonely now :( Well, the only thing that can do now is to have a drink at the famous Kampung Tao in Sibu, nothing else open I assume.

This year is the only year I see such lots of firecracker at home. My father and mother would never bought any firecracker for Chinese New Year. They even sleep before 9.00pm just now to make sure they won’t be waken up by all the firecracker sound. If it’s not because of last minute, I would bought a lot more than this!

Well, my sisters shooted a lot of photos when my brother and I was firing firecracker that I bought few hours ago, I notice something…
My head
More and more friends coming to me and tell me that I’m getting balder year by year. I really can’t do anything yet. Probably this is the last thing I’m asking for this year, top in my resolution list :) Have a great night people.
