It's Chinese New Year!!!! Happy Happy Chinese New Year to everybody!!! Yesterday was mad, or rather, this morning was crazy. Chinatown was SOO crowded with people rubbing shoulders and squeezing each other. Part of the me wondered whether people go there just to experience the ambience and enjoy being suffocated or to see things so that they can get stuffs when you hear stallholders saying, "Quick buy!!!! Quuick!!! Cheep cheep cheeeep!!!!". Haiz. I went there 'cuz it was a tradition for my family (or rather, just my daddy and I) to go there every New Years' Eve, mainly to enjoy the 1/2 price things that they have on offer. My Dad used to carry me on his shoulders when I was younger and that was when in that little head of mine, I thought that I was the tallest and greatest person in the whole of Chinatown 'cuz I had a bird's eye view of everything and on top of that- FRESH AIR. I looked at those small kids who were smashed between gigantic and humongous sweating bodies and wondered to myself whether they had enough air to breath. Hmm.
It was fun though. When the clock struck 12, people went mad. Literally. And there were fireworks!!! Wonders of wonders. I dragged my Dad, hoping to see them. Too bad those tall tall buildings blocked everything and all that was left were just the cracking of the fireworks. So sad right? Bleah. And those stallholders were so funny. Especially the ones that were selling sweets. They started raining sweets on everybody and all the young kids with maids on tow had a fun time scrambling and scouring the floor.

Hmm. I've come to a conclusion that Chinese New Year = Festival for eating (courtesy to my friend's nick) = Hongbaos!!!
Eh, that's pretty much what is on all unmarried people and kids' minds huh? Haha...

On Friday, the girls and I went out to chill out. 'Twas so fun lah!!! It's been super long since we got together. Actually, it wasn't veeery long, but it seemed like eons ago. Fei, Jia, Melia and Jac, I love you all!!! Thanks Fei for that dedication at Suntec. Think the onlookers thought we were nuts when we yelled when our song was played. Oh wellz, haha! =D
Sad that Jia and Jac couldn't be there when the dedication was read out though. The song was "Love me" by Collin Raye. Earlier, we were wondering what song to dedicate, when at the snap of that moment, both Fei and I were like...

"Hmm..what song should we play?"
" Eh, that grandpa grandma song...what was that???"
"Oh oh..Collin Raye's 'Love me'!!!!!"
"A...yah!!! Omg! I love that song!"
And together we went, " Ahh!!!!" (and we started jumping like crazy)
Haha..

The song's so beautiful. Though it is an oldie. I love the song so so much. It carries a special meaning...Even now. At suntec, when we heard the song being played for us, I listened to the lyrics and thought of something special. Hmm... (^-^)

Oh well, Happy Chinese New Year to one and all!!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
It's the Doggie Year this lunar year, so, to all doggies on Earth and especially,

To my beloved doggies,
Toffee my naughty baby and Sparky my handsome darling:

Haha =)
