Chinese New Year - Again.

Yet another lunar new year. as we welcome in bright fireworks and loud deafening fire crackers that go off along north bridge road, china town and other parts of singapore on its eve, a new year takes off - again. the year of the rat. ahhhh. delightful. wonder how the zodiac animals really came to be.



i didnt do much visitings, i just stayed a bit at home. all i can say is that we are starting to redefine tradition. the conservativeness is starting do decrease in many a heart. it marks a sign of change. but it also marks a sign of the loss of culture. take for example, sometimes we stop visiting a certain relative. isnt that a lack of tradition? going on a holiday from the eve to the 4th day of CNY. isnt that a change? when we should all be gathering together to "tuan yuan". or whatever it really is. i mean, simple things like that, we tend to focus wrongly. we tend to overlook its importance. why do people actually buy new clothes on CNY? have you ever asked yourself that? i did.



people buy new clothes on CNY because in the past, they were really poor. as paupers. and they could only afford to buy clothes ONCE A YEAR. and hence, a new year, marks the new clothe- buying. but we seize this opportunity to buy new clothes even though we constantly and continuously keep shopping throughout the year. see, yet another redefined culture. we cant blame this because we're becoming more affluent. the world has to urbanise, and technology will give rise to affluence, etc.



before this gets really boring. i want to say that CNY is always a time to catch up on those i tend to leave behind. and this year, i just feel like i've not done so. i am a person who is straightforward. my posts are direct. the only reason why you see so many words are cuz i explain it. i'm not longwinded or wordy deliberately. and when i say things, i say it from my heart. i dont MAKE THINGS UP. friends that read my blog, well, sometimes, if you're sensitive enough, you'll realise what i mean. but of course, if you're callous, you wont notice it at all.




i'm trying to improve my english. i learnt a few new words. well, might not be new for you. consider your english good. "Infidelity" and "Hussy" are the 2 i remember of the 10. LOLS. oh well. they are common words actually. not really Hussy. but Infidelity is really common. just please, dont use it on me. lol. i'm not a woman. lol. and i'm a person without infidelities. (:



okay. currently loving Jordin Sparks' and Chris Browns' "No Air". but still jiving to Cassies' "Is it You?" with that. i shall end.

love.
