as i grew up, i felt that cny is part of the hols.

except that you get to recieved money in red packets.

i wonder what would be cny in other countries such as taiwan, china etc.

bet it would be more exciting than in sin.

companies are closed for at least five days in those areas BUT

sin only closed based on the public holidays marked on the calender!

some eateries open on the 2nd day of CNY.

how to have the festive mood?????

firecrackers can be only seen during CNY & only "they" are allowed to light them.

wtc.

my ideal CNY is all shops to be closed down except for the non-chinese.

hols should not be marked based on the calender!

stop having parmedics to station when you want to display firecrackers.

however,

the best part of cny is the indugence of my fave pineapple tarts!

awe! taste heavenly especially the home-made ones by relative!

i also love the market which operates 24 hours on the 29th of the lunar calender (2 days before CNY). you get to see aunties buying and stocking up their fridge with stuff in the middle of the night. this scene only happened once every year. personally i think this is more enlivening than our usual sin night life.

this comes in handy after my indulgence of the pineapples tarts & goodies.

whatever you taken into your body must be excreted out.

you know what i mean.
