No big fan of Chinese New Year (and Valentines)
Ahh... it's already 9th February. Chinese New Year is just around corner and i'm not prepared for it yet. Actually, do i really care?!?
hmmm.... i don't mind the angpow and the occassion feast but i'm not such a big fan on loud corny chinese new year songs, especially those mtv showing a lot of children trying to act like adult. It's so sickening. I don't know why they want to dress little 8 years old to wear those revealling scantillating type of clothes, with layers and layers and layers of make up. I bet a lot of child pornographers and paedophiles enjoy it somehow.
I don't like going to shopping mall where retailers practically wants everything (and i meant everything) covered in red. I though red paint is to signify that you owe ah-longs money?!?
I don't like going to restaurant where they think we are all dumb and a such big suckers for yee sang. come on, one extra plate of yee sang (made mostly of those cheap crackers, sauce, some pomelo and occassionally some raw fish) and they will charge you some exhorbitant price. Heck, if i want crackers, i might as well go to Cold Storage and get myself a nice pack of Ruffles or Lays and it will still cost way cheaper than those yee sang.
I don't like sellers hogging part of the road and buyers swerving in like madman just to buy mandarin oranges. heck, i complaint when the lemang sellers do the same during Raya time, i can do the same here.
I don't like it when everyone is expect to clean their houses only come close to CNY. I can't even get the cleaners in for my regular house cleaning these days. I think overall, Chinese New Year is way overhype.
but before we get there, i have to go through any overhype event, the big Valentines. For those of you who wants to give me flowers, forget about buying overpriced rose buds. Cow head (or chicken or lamb or even fish) will do. They serve the same purpose.
