Approaching Chinese New Year..

My Mapling fever have started to subside after 1 week. I admit, the fever did subside, but I didn't say that it has completely subsided so I'm still addicted to it, just not as serious as before. I had many stories that I would like to share but for some reasons the screen shots failed and are all corrupted. Zz.

I managed to collect another 1800 Rascal Snowpieces these few days to help Darren exchange an Ice Chair. Since he helped me so much, and he's busy with his college studies currently, so I should repay his kindness with the least I can manage to do. Now he sure does looks cool on that chair.

By the way, it's just a week before we, the Chinese, are going to celebrate Chinese New Year. Well yeah time flies. I have never thought that it's CNY next week, and never had the mood to celebrate it though. Nothing special, really. Every year, I just get to go back hometown in Johor, have Reunion Dinner, get Angpau, play computer, lose in gambling, sleep, and lastly come back to my home. This cycle bored the hell out of me, just take the journey to Johor, at least 4 hours will be wasted on highway. In addition, Angpaus I got never increases, but I think they decreases every year!

But, I heard from my parents that we may be going hometown at the 2nd Lunar Day(年初二) instead of the usual CNY Eve(除夕). Okay that sounded a little overboard. Why on earth are we still going back like that? I would rather stay at home for the whole CNY. 2nd Lunar Day depart = night arrive, and then my cousins would most probably return home at 3rd Lunar Day = face my elders = nothing talk = play computer = LONELY. No difference in being lonely here or there. Plus, lesser Angpaus. Oh, I get it. We get lesser Angpaus so that they can give lesser Angpaus as well. Economic recession ma, I fully understand.

Ok I was just kidding about that Angpau part. They aren't stingy enough to do that just to save money. Perhaps my mom just wants to pray at our own home on CNY to bring us good luck, causing the delay.

Anyway, preparations to celebrate CNY is on the way. New clothes, decorations, are bought, I guess. That's not the main part la, by this time we should have been cleaning our houses already. Everyone knows we are not allowed to clean our houses during CNY, especially with brooms, to avoid our money being "swept" away.

Me, being a good boy, have actually started cleaning my house before I got that Mapling fever. Just take that fan cleaning as the starting point. I wouldn't post everything that I have done, or else there will be more crap posts in this blog.. Wndows wiped, ceiling fan cleaned, and any traces of dust in my room had been taken care of. I did say dust, but not the messy appearance of my desk.

My mom always said, messy desk = messy mind = bad for studies. Now perhaps that's the reason why I sucked at my studies all the time. Shall tidy them up soon before entering college or going Form 6, or else I'm going to fail in my life.

Vincent out.
