Enjoy your stay

3rd of day of the Lunar New Year, how is all of your debt collecting coming along? Any splash of red in sight? How's the cash?

Of course, the cash's great, but that would just be a side incentive. For most Singaporean families, I dare say that we often did not have much time to interact with our blood relations because of crammed schedules. Reunion dinners in the past usually meant a better spread of dishes, but for modern times, it has really became a reunion for those families who have not seen each other for a long time.

Yea, my cousin Christina from Australia has returned for the LNY, it's real nice to see her again after such time. So, basically my real reap of benefits from this period of time has not been the red-colour packets filled with dough, but the precious time of bonding with the rest of my extended family. Gong Xi Fa Cai, Wan Shi Ru Yi!

Well, I really dislike the fact that we're still having homework hurled at us despite it being the festive season, and a very important one at that. Now that it's the last day of the holidays, I guess I should begin sweating it out at my study desk.

Nonetheless, all these pressure from school has not really stopped me from enjoying myself, as I'm sure what most are doing as well. Like I said, it's the festive season, the most prioritised thing is to let our hair down and recharge ourselves for the arduous journey ahead.

So, what did you do during these precious days of rest and fun? I for one, have derived great joy from visiting family and friends. Not forgetting, of course, my pleasure trip out yesterday with, well, Jiao Min. Wanted to catch a movie at Cathay Cineplex @ Downtown East, but I screwed up with my time approximation. We still could catch the movie, but perhaps just half of it. And so, we took a stroll around the entire place, and found some fun in the process.

Ah, there was kind Indian lady at Downtown East whom I enlisted the help of, to take a picture for us.

Here's her 2nd attempt:

A little blurred, I know. But there always is the 3rd try...

I think she managed to get the focus working on this one.

Well, there's the 2nd, and 3rd attempt. What about the 1st?
Unfortunately, the Indian lady has already deleted that photo away, or else I could've shown you what our helper looked like... 'Cos she managed to turn the camera on herself and flashed the camera straight at her own face. Hello, we told you to take a photo of US, not YOURSELF. (As Phil would say: "EPIC FAIL.")

Actually, I'm not trying to be rude here. In fact, I laughed so hard afterwards that I started to feel bad for her, someone who has been kind enough to help us. I wonder how are her eyes, was the flash too bright...?


Went to Pasir Ris Park after that to catch the sunset. However, by the time we got there, I think there were only a few remnants of orange left in the sky. Oh well, at least it's better than nothing. At least the light was enough for me to start my sand painting. Hmm, I think the tide would have got it by now, but that's alright, it just means that the lines in the sand have been amplified and distributed in the endless sea.

One thing though, the wind there was extremely strong, and both of our hair got messed up, big time. And although I didn't mention it at that time, someone ate her own hair again.

Oh, before the gratitude gets lost somewhere along my heartline, thanks for your Valentine's gift, Jiao Min.


Now that's over, people, enjoy your last day today, and I'll see you tomorrow, and perhaps we can compare our earnings together.

"Today, I thank you for walking through love with me, both figuratively and literally."
