Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year (CNY) is just around the corner, again. Time for new clothes, new hat, new bag, and new girlfriend :p.

I can't manage to buy any new clothes, as I can't find suitable one. This year, I parted from my previous taste, looking for RED colour shirt or T-shirt to go with this new year. Hmm... maybe I might as well get my hair RED too... hohoho ....

Normally, the Chinese will also be sending CNY greeting card among each others. For previous years, I had been receiving from various people, but I never returned their cards. Guess I don't get used to such practice. But this year, I think I must change a bit my attitude. Maybe I will return a handwritten notice "Thank you" to them and still not sending them CNY greeting card? hahahaha....

All people if same then no meaning liao larr. I love to see things which is handwritten, not just signature only. I like to see personally written message, not those just being forwarded around. Sometimes, whenever I received forwarded messages, I would reply the message with a little wit and perhaps try to create some new & fresh counter SMS... (though some of them not very "readable" :D ). Like that when you receive my SMS then it will be fresh from the oven, not an expired one... ;)

This CNY too I will be getting a longer holiday unlike other years. It's fun to be spending so much time doing something different from your normal routine. Hope that I won't be bored!

Beer... and girls...

Today met 2 new leng lui. Both are my colleague's relative. (many of her relatives - cousins, sister etc... all are pretty one leh...). They just happen to drop by for a breakfast before proceeding to downtown. Hmm... must buy toto liao...

Yesterday having a drink with my boss. Drank 5 bottles of Carlsberg. Luckily my home is just around the corner, so I don't mind being drunk. I myself don't quite like drinking beers, though I always promote it :pPp... the reasons being simple:

  1. It's expensive.
  2. It's bitter.
  3. It's yellowish... like urine.... :p
  4. When drink with friends, you are always being "push" to drink more.
  5. You can't drink and drive.
So how was yesterday? With "fried ikan bilis" to accompany beer, it just taste so good. So, I am still promoting beer... just like other days...

Troubled...

直到細雪飛下來 蕩進遠處深海
甚至兩腳走不動 先想到 離開
直到你說不回來 直到我說 活該
拿下了你這感情包袱 或者反而相信愛

* 你是千堆雪 我是長街 怕日出一到彼此瓦解
看著蝴蝶扑不過天涯誰又有權不理解 (唯獨怪時間真快)
你是一封信 我是郵差 最后一雙腳惹盡塵埃
忙著去護送 來不及拆開里面完美的世界

認錯旅店的門牌 認錯要逛的街
便當冷了想保存怎可以亂擺
沒有你我的和弦但有結尾伏線
黃葉會遠飛這場宿命最終只能講再見

* 你是千堆雪 我是長街 怕日出一到彼此瓦解
看著蝴蝶扑不過天涯誰又有權不理解 (唯獨怪時間真快)
你是一封信 我是郵差 最后一雙腳惹盡塵埃
忙著去護送 來不及拆開里面完美的世界 ~~ 《 郵差 》 王菲


Slept late last Sunday night, at about 3am. Can't sleep. Too much tension built up on me. The problem lies with me, so nothing to complain about.

-----

Went to Jaya Jusco, and stopped by at the Osim demo. Was invited to a free massage using iSqueez . Nice. RM1400. Expensive. I remember back the Ogawa machine mum's using. I wonder what's it's fate right now... hehehe... heard from mum that she still uses it a few times a week.

Still remember the night which I had a long talk through the phone with mum. It should be a Sunday night. She and dad just back from Malacca the previous day. They had went shopping, and come across a foot massaging machine by the brand Ogawa.

Mum had been having sleepless night these years, as slightest sound would awake her in the middle of the night, e.g. the lizard farting etc... . So, she always look sleepy, and would not let off any opportunity to sleep :D.

So, the CULPRIT should be THE salesman/girl. After much of the sales talk... blah blah blah..."good for health"-lah... blah blah ... "can have good sleep"... blah blah ... "can be very energetic" ... blah blah... "ah? your son haven't got a gf? this can make your son quickly find a gf"... blah blah... they were "talked" into having a try out at the machine. "awwwww....." "ouch" "ouch"... this should be the expression given by them during the try-out.

So, after that, they found that their feet to be lighter (can like the kungfu "dragonfly walk on the water"...)

MUM: eh... the machine buei pai (not bad) leh... now I can continue shopping for 5 more hours also legs won't tired...
DAD: *legs in the air*.... awwww.....
THE salesman: hey mam.. now got offer. if you buy this machine within this promotion period, we will give you this, this, this, this and that, all worth RM$$$. see... it's so worth it. normally we won't be giving these gifts. Please support me lah... I still got a lot of children waiting for me to feed...
MUM: Eh, this one not bad huh... got so many free gifts...
DAD: Let's consider first loh...

--- back to the telephone conversation ---

Mum talk a lot about what they did at the shopping mall that day. And she mention about the Ogawa machine. Don't know because of that machine or because too tired walking a few ten kilometre around the shopping mall that day, she say she had a very nice sleep that night. Dad also say that he feel good too (well, i guess yes since he also follow in walking a few ten km that day too... hahahaha....).... So they were considering whether to buy that machine or not. Well, I think you can guess the ending here. Here comes the "now still filial" son filling the role of someone-gotta-pay the bill.

*the above conversation and some of the scene are purely my imagination*...

It feel so good to buy something for someone you love dearly. I wonder if dad will be jealous coz I bought a RM1000+ gift for mum (also for dad's use, what) and buy a RM100+ bicycle for him. I love both mom and dad equally... so, don't jealous ok?

A NOTE from the author: I don't know why, I would consider many times before buying something expensive for myself (sometimes will regret later, even though the thing's useful to me), but when buying this machine, I am buying with JOY and without much thinking. What a wonderful feeling and decision...

But... I am also poorer by now *sob sob*..... hehehe... no wonder there's a saying "poorer people are much happier".

ok.. back to the story board.

Attended a colleague's wedding yesterday. Ate a lot. In fact, at my table, everybody was eating a few mouths and stop, leaving me virtually never stop all the time. Most of them had just had their lunch (bah kut teh). I realised my mouth was munching non-stop, as if it's 2 months ago since I last have any food!! Some of the dishes are quite nice, and it's a pity that I don't have any kaki to accompany me devouring these foods! Not fun! Not fun!!

Even when they are gonna yam seng, my mouth was still munching the 5th prawn, right hand holding chopstick holding dunno-what-food and left hand holding the glass... hehehe... just kidding lah.. I even had 4 bowls of shark-fin... just imagine what my table-mate was eating (which i think is just air, air and air... plus soft drink... + see here see there)..

Don't blame me mah, I don't like to see food being left-over on the table, especially good food.

It's a pity that no leng lui there worth watching, else my eyes won't be bored and can be as busy as my mouth.

Did I mentioned that 3 days ago I just attended a big feast hosted by my aunt and uncle at a high class restaurant? Wow, you should have seen what we ate.


Awwww.... now I am fatter by a few MORE kg... :( :( :( ...
oh god... if you can't make me slim, please make all my friends around me fatter... kekekeh..... )
