Of New Year Greeting

Well, the last Chinese New Year (CNY) which I will be celebrating in Malaysia before I embark on my quest to fulfill my dream in sadistic predictions has finally arrived. Its been a rather subdue affair as most of the festivities seemed to have dwindled down this year - for some unknown reason. Well, so long as my tummy is full and my pockets fuller, i have no complaints whatsoever. Easily, CNY should not be considered a holiday. The buziest time of the year and you expect us to lay back and relax? No way, jose. This is the time when you get to exercise your interpersonal skills, your gastronomical will power and your gambling prowess. Not to mention trying to remember how to greet the numerous cousins and second-cousins and nephews and nieces whom you only meet once a year. Oh yeah, and the exercises needed AFTER it is over to get rid of the excess baggage around your mid-drift. Holiday? I think not.

A very happy Chinese New Year to ye all! =)
