Happy New Year.

It's finally the year of the Rat. Haha. i hope that the year ahead will be a better one for me. More projects and gigs pls! haha. The long weekend passed really quickly. All the weeks of spring cleaning and preparations just for the new year. Argh..

Din manage to really take pictures on the first day. In fact, i din take any pictures. As usual, i went to my grand parent's place. Oh yah. i went to St James that nite. Goodness, i couldn't get a damn cab home. Super duper long queue la and there's insufficient cabs around. Luckily, Leonard came back to sent me home.

Headed to a chinese restaurant (cant remember the name) for lunch at Novotel Hotel on the 2nd day. Food wasn't that great and it's rather pricey. Well, once a year only. We used to go to Neptune Court for dim sum but it's no longer around. Since then, we haven been able to find a permanent location for our CNY lunch.

i always loved Chinese New Year. The gatherings, the buying and wearing of new clothes and of course the gamblings! Haha. New Year always provides me with the perfect excuse to indulge in lotsa of retail therapy. And of course, it mends the hole burnt in my pocket due to all the shopping. i got myself a tad too many new outfits this year, enough to last me for a week or so. Mum's complaining. i so wanna have a Poker Nite (dom! arrange that!) or a Club 21 Nite. Din really play cards this year though. But i played alot of mahjong. To me, mahjong is not really a "new year activity" coz i play it every week. i wanna Ban Luck! Any takers? Be careful, i've got my red undies and poker boxers to bring in all the much-needed luck. i'll fish your AH NAMS over. MOOLAHS MOOLAHS, come to me now. I'm your owner.
