The start of the day was like previous years, which was house visiting to my aunt’s place. Before that, we went to Burger King but changed our minds and visited the new MacDonald’s branch at Shenton Way instead. It was fantastically designed and I regretted not asking them to dine in instead. We spent some …

Long Weekend – Deepavali
I spent the long weekend better than previous weeks; more things were done although the efficiency level was still too low. I did not even know about the Deepavali’s holiday until Daniel told me on last Friday morning. I managed to update two blogs: Chinese Dramas Hey! Are You Joking? My upcoming directory site had …
Lunar Chinese New Year 2008
Chinese New Year Eve saw some packing of the house. Reunion dinner was as per normal. I was quite sick of the steamboat for it happened more than just once each year, and every time I had to feast on it for numerous continuous days. My plan to comb down the pasar malam at Chinatown …
Merry Christmas 2007!
For those who did not receive my SMS, just to let you know that Uncle Santa has instructed you to give me my present first. Later, he will put yours into your smelly socks. So, remember not to wash them first. By the way, if you really never receive my SMS, probably I have sent …
First Open Market’s Transaction
[Sunday, 04 March, 2007] I began feeling worse and almost felt like dropping down onto the floor. The cough was irritating. However, as time passed by, I began to feel better. I was waked up a number of times in the morning. Two hours after I dozed off at around 6am, my mum unintentionally and …
Work and Bai Nian at Anqi’s House
[Sunday, 25 February, 2007] I wake up in the morning in order to go for the viewing at early afternoon. It was the usual long way to Ang Mo Kio and I dragged on my feet when I was not feeling well. It was an unfortunate day indeed. I supposed I was the first agent …
Third Day of Chinese New Year
[Wednesday, 21 February, 2007] My second day of “bai nian” was actually at my father’s side – at my small uncle’s house which was located at Hougang. I spent the early morning doing my website and chatting with Suimin. I was expecting very little sleep because my mum would wake me up for the house …
Chinese New Year – Day One
[Sunday, 18 February, 2007] Alone in the living room, that was how I spent my first moment of the Chinese New Year. I could not even be bothered to look at the television. My brothers each occupied a room while my mum started offering prayers to the heaven and then went to the temple. The …
Chinese New Year Eve 2007
[Saturday, 17 February, 2007] The day began with dining with Weitat and Kailin at Geylang. We had our supper at Wang Jiao Dian Xin instead of You Tiao Da Wan for the latter shop was closed for the festival. Food was just alright but service was terrible. While we were walking back to the car …
Greeting Card from Huiying
[Thursday, 15 February, 2007] Comments I received my first Chinese New Year card after so many years. The deliveryman was not from Singpost but my neighbour. The very inefficient postman had delivered letter to wrong unit again and luckily my neighbour took the trouble to pass it to me. The card was from Huiying. Anyway, …
