Gong Xi Fa Cai

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Things haven't quite been the same this lunar new year. Yup, this year, I have a new bride, a new ride, and take pride in reaching a new "status" - the right to give ang pows. Broke, but happy. Haha!

While I have been doing the same visits every year for the last 3 decades, I still look forward to them. The titbits and snacks may be the same, the entire ritual may not vary much, but I can't help but get excited about Chinese New Year. There is just something very heartwarming about the whole occasion that keeps me grounded. I hope this feeling comes back every year.

There're still a few more days for me before starting work proper. I intend to just sit back and lap up the festive mood, while others prepare to get back to the daily grind.

Well, while it lasts, I'd like to wish a Very Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year to one and all!

Farewell, My Dear Friend...

When I first heard about you, I didn't even want to see you. But a buddy insisted we take a look at you. He said I may just like you - a Continental babe with all the perks, yet very affordable. I relented.

When I first saw you, it was love at first sight. Being white actually brought out the best in you. I had to have you. You gave me a ride as I slipped snugly inside you. I wanted you so badly.

We had so much fun together, just you and I.

Its been over 2years now... and it's over. You may think it's over between us, but spiritually, I would never let you go. You may think I'm giving you up just cos' you're old and out of shape. I am letting you go because you are tired. You have served me well but you need your final rest.

I am gonna miss you, my dear friend...
