Chinese New Year

We used to have this noticeboard in the class when I was still in primary school. It'd be filled with New baby pictures every week. And we were supposed to guess who is who, have a good laugh blah blah.

Why am I talking about this?
Cos I realised I lost 2 of my cutest baby pictures. Argh! should never participate in that nonsense. Wasted my pictures!

Why am I looking for baby pictures?
Cos Pearly tagged me on FB as this boy. They said he looks like me.

'Where got?!'

Anyway, drove around in Malaysia on New year day 1.
For those who'd be asking, 'No, I'm not Malaysian'
My father was...
So We actually got a house there where our relatives would gather during New year blah blah. I figured I could actually drive in there with some of my frens sometime for holidays. The house is actually empty during other times of the year.

What did you do for Chinese New Year?

Spring cleaning? groceries shopping? ban new huo? pasting red paper banners? Buy new clothes?

For most of us, we had steamboat during chinese new year as a sign of reunion.

So steamboat signifies Chinese New Year.
For wanping, She reckons bak gwa = Chinese New Year.
For others, It may be collecting Ang Baos, buying new clothes.
For Huiwen, I reckon its visiting her nephew (when he is still small).
For some secondary school friends, I tot it'd be mahjong and playing Blackjack.
Personally, I tot it'd be abalone. When else would you be having abalone?! Where else?

In your school CANTEEN?!
Or would you have abalone for breakfast?!

(Anyway super sians I jus lost this huge chunk of information on National budget due to intermittent disconnection. Supposedly simplified to help people who are taking qualitative papers in their studies. Not gonna redo it liao. You can use it as External factor, political factor, marketing macro environment, country's policies and how spore attempts to attract foreign investors by investing in infrastructure and unfreezing credits and tax reductions blah blah.)

Warning: Can be frustrating at times!
