in another place and another time

What I look forward to during CNY 15 years ago..
1. New clothes
2. Seeing all my extended family members
3. Yes, ang pow..

What I look forward to during CNY now..
1. College break!!
2. My aunt's home-made pineapple tarts.. once you've eaten hers, you never want ANY other. I kid you not. Every year she makes a big jar specially just for me :) (which I then hide from my brothers)
3. New clothes.. contrary to what anyone would think, I hardly have a reason to buy new clothes any other time of the year. There are more reasons to buy new books.

First day of CNY and I'm just glad I don't wake up thinking about assignments. I never thought there would be a day I feel such joy, just being able to sit and watch chinese re-runs. And I will repeat this again (even if no one cares to listen), Donnie Yen is a HUNK. I love watching him fight, so fluid and graceful even if he is breaking off people's necks and legs, plus it helps that he has awesome abs and arms AND HE PLAYS PIANO LIKE A DREAM. I want this man.
I'll be leaving for Singapore tomorrow! Because everyone is sitting around feeling bored, except my brothers. Lets just hope all the stores will be open, because I have prepared a list of books to buy in Kino, Singapore. Can anyone believe they actually have TWO Kino stores over there? That is my main motivation in wanting to move there. If that happens.

My aunt told me "Don't say if. Say when."
