新年快樂!

Happy Chinese New Year!

My cousin and I busied ourselves taking some crazy pics while the others were gambling.

"By gambling, we lose both time and treasure - two things most precious to man".

I never will understand the reason behind gambling having seen how it tore families apart and destroyed relationships.

I hate gambling and people who gamble. Especially if they have absolutely no self control.

Many angbaos this year! Whoo hoo~

Will u be my valentine?

This year, Chinese New Year falls on Valentine's Day.

Singletons are probably rejoicing at this arrangement, as they will not have to complain about being date-less on this special occasion.

To be honest, every year I fear the coming of Valentine's Day. I was single for the longest time. The only consolation was probably flowers from an admirer at work. He never failed to send me a bouquet with a teddy bear/candies throughout the length of my career when we were colleagues.

Red roses. If only they were from the one I love.

As a teen, i would go out with my girl friends on Valentine's Day. Friends are your best source of comfort on this special day. I will go crazy staying at home on Vday.

However, as I grew older, I realised that friends just cannot replace that special someone. I would be worried as this day draws near, wondering if i ever find that special someone or would I be left on the shelf?

A buddy of mine even made a pact that we would 'date' each other if both of us were single during Vday.

Glad we didn't have to use that now.

But I still spent this Valentine's Day alone this year. How i wished i could celebrate every occasion on the day itself instead of doing it in advance where the mood is just not there.

Envy u, buddy..

"Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker."

Happy Valentine's Day, world.
