Happy Chinese New Year!

Sorry for this late CNY post, I ate and slept until I can't think of anything to write. ^^

It's an ordinary CNY anyway. Went back hometown, ate reunion dinner, play computer, eat kinds of biscuits until I nearly got sore throat, sleep, finally came back home. There's one thing I hate the most during CNY, lose in gambling. Every year go back sure lose money, not excluding this year. I have lost about RM30 this year. Not much you say? Fine, what about saying that I've lost about 30% of my total wealth this year? That sounded more serious, right?

Since I've turned 18 this year, I didn't waste the opportunity to drink a few cans of beer at my hometown. I drank a total of 4 cans which comprise of 3 cans of Carlsberg and a can of Guinness. Seriously, Guinness tasted better(bitter) as one can of it contains 6.8% of alcohol compared to 5% in a can of Carlsberg. Either of them made me feel dizzy for some time, though. Gotta have some training soon. =D

I visited my friends' houses in Kajang the last 2 days. Visiting their houses made me feel myself inferior to them for some reason. I finally get to drive to Kajang alone as my parents had to go to Seremban to visit a relative of ours =D. I gained lots of driving experience on my day there since traffic there is enormous, many chances for me to get involved in an accident though.

Talking about CNY, for a "kid", there's nothing more important than getting "angpau"(red packets). I have yet to open my Angpaus, honestly, but I already have a figure of the total money I will get this year, which is way too insufficient to buy any computer hardware I like, not even a good quality gaming peripheral. Anyway, like one of my friend said:

“Angpau is just a meaning and blessing given by elders to younger generations, don't just care about the money you received.”

Yeah, he's right. Thanks to him I won't be so money-minded. The elders need to give Angpaus according to their financial situation after all.

By the way, I get to know that people whom zodiac sign is Horse will have a good "Peach blossom luck"(love luck/桃花运). Let's see how good my luck will run for this year =D.

Lastly, I'm sure that you are thoroughly bored with this whole passage of words by now. It's the 7th Lunar day today, which is 人日, everything is still not too late, so Vincent hereby wishes the whole Chinese race

*恭喜发财*

*新年快乐*

*身体健康*

*事事顺利*

*HAPPY CHINESE 牛 YEAR*

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.
