i'm back.

mmm. im glad that im finally smelling my home again. sniffs.

just got back from my hometown after celebrating cny. i've always loved chinese new year. this whole week has been so wholesomely rich. with all those events and memories etc. (: (:

though its home sweet home now. i still have a weird feeling like i couldnt settle down or something. like things are still in a mess in my mind and lots of things i havent done lah. but now the first thing i think of is to sit down and blog. how weird. lol.

how's your new year celebration going? i would say i was trying to make mine as memorable as it could be and. i did it. :D

oh well. to cut things short. i enjoyed every bits of it this year. (big thanks guys) the food. the fun. the crazy moments. It feels so good when you're expecting to meet all those cousies again. those babies. those kids. (i like my nephews calling me uncle cause it sounds so old) lol.

yes i have nephews. oh. i shall repeat. not my real nephews but neph-nephews.

now my mind has all lots of stuffs i couldn't arrange. it was all but a beautiful mess. (:

and let me clean the mess up for you can continue reading.
1. we didn't sleep early every night.
2. we lighted up fireworks so loud we rang the neighbour's car alarm.
(for the first day of new year)
3. we didn't wash our hair.
4. instead we bathed ourselves with a very cool lime-flavoured tea leaves formula.
4. we showed our love to the plants and became vegetarian.
5. and we ate two bowls of rice.
6. we shouldn't sweep the floor. and we obeyed. (who cares)
7. we posted crappy messages about each other on tv. and laughed like crazy when those words popped up on the screen.
8. we went to my dad's orchard.
9. we fish.
10. we had barbeques.
11. still cleaning the mess in my mind.

they said touching the dancing lions' butt will bring you good luck. sadly i missed the lion dance at my aunt's cause i was visiting another family back then (sorry serena. no lions) but for the first time i managed to see the "qi lin" in the afternoon. they are skinny and scarier-looking.

oh we took photos in a casino which we shouldn't cause its illegal. My aunt actually owns a club and it has a tiny casino in it. wow. so many numbers flickering everywhere on the wall.

and almost every night we heard gambling cheers from the elders over the table. aiyoh so cheerfully noisy. or noisily cheerful.


i just caught a flu.
so i guess ill have to stop here.
my runny nose is bugging me so much.
sucks.

ah. what a mess. gonna unpack my stuffs. check my loaded inbox. catching up with blogs. (fyi serena got a new blog. here) etc etc. :S

At-choo!

I.must.bath.

til then bye guys.
i couldn't smell my room now my nose is stuck. sniffs.
upload those photos soon. cheers.


phoootos.

pane on a plane.

the sky. the clouds. the wonders.

blue blues and white whites.

lanterns.

the "qi lin" i mentioned.

orchard's orchids.

palm trees along the way.

it begins to rain after a while.

wet logs, damp grassbed, gloomy leaves. very cool.

thanks to this gadget for all the magnificent shots.
sadly it belongs to my brother and not me. :(
