Chinese New Year is almost here, and I am so excited!! Not only I have the chance to get lots of money with only a curt Happy New Year to those married relatives (heehee), I also can see all my cousins again, and even, maybe, I can get a taste of the yummy chocolate fountain again!!

Oh. And I also have the chance to gain weight.

Damn it.

I'm seeing all those Chinese New Year decorations everywhere, it's sort of haunting me. Even in our stupid school. I just remember that someone has hung up some hideous, giant red Chinese lanterns in our school foyer. At least, I think it IS our school foyer. Maybe it's somewhere else. It might even be in our own house. I couldn't remember.

But on second thought. No, I don't think it's in our house. We don't even have the time to decorate for Chinese New Year. And what's the point of decorating?? No point. The only point about Chinese New Year is the red packets full of money. Ha ha.

Actually we DID decorate our house, only it wasn't exactly decorated before and FOR Chinese New Year. The vases of red flowers has been in our house for like, years already?? Probably put there during Chinese New Year years ago, and then was left there until now because we couldn't be bothered to keep it.

And I am SO pissed!!

What, there's like only one week until Chinese New Year and I don't really have any new clothes!! Damn. But who says one has to wear new clothes during Chinese New Year anyway?? Maybe I'll set a new trend (*aherm* Like I can do that), and in years everyone will be wearing curtains during Chinese New Year!! Can you imagine??

Flowery ones. Soft, plush ones. Velvet ones. Thick ones in royal blue and gold. Burberry-like plaid ones. Silk ones. Oh, and of course transparent lace ones!! =P

Hmm.

Mwahahaha.

Wait wait wait. Did you notice that the gorgeous dresses made by Giselle in the movie Enchanted is also made by curtains?? Oh, and the outfits for the seven children in the musical The Sound of Music??

See, I told you curtains are perfect clothing materials.

Anyway. I have some tiny stuff to show you.



Very cute, no?? It's like, 1/4 of your palm!! Sooo tiny!! =)



What are these?? Chewing gum?? The black pearls from the bubble milk tea??

Oh my God. They're so damn CUTE!!

Mini grapes.

Actually, I don't really know what they're called. My mum said it was blueberries, but hello?? Blueberries are blue and doesn't look anything like this. My dad, even worse, said it was blackberries. When I said no, then he changed his mind and said they were raspberries. What?!?? Are raspberries purplish-black you tell me?? They don't come in great bunches clumped together like this, and they are not so round.

At least no one said strawberries.



Oops. I think I've grown accustomed to taking photos with the weirdest things possible, from books to fruits.

Anyway, look how messy my hair is!! The fringe is still as long as ever. I seriously need to cut my hair!! The prefects are going to check our hair tomorrow. And I haven't got my hair cut. What the fuck. Was going to go with Jane yesterday but she forgot that she was supposed to bring me along.

I seem to be cursed with bad luck these few days.

=(



My seventh aunt's baby!!

Err. Actually I have to admit I think he looks kind of stupid. Don't you think??

But he looks like he's thinking about lots of things. We were all very confused and were trying to imagine what a young baby like him can think about. Rattles. How uncomfortable the pampers are. What time he should pee. Milk. Mummy's boobs.

Okay, yucks. Especially when his mummy is my aunt.



Still the same expression.

My aunt said my other aunt called the baby a ... what do you call it, the color-changing lizard?? Or it IS called the color-changing lizard??! They said the baby's face kept changing colors. A moment it's very red. The other moment it's black, gray and dirty-looking. Kind of like in the pictures above. Then the other moment it turned pink. Then it turned green. Then purple. Then neon yellow. Then ...

Sorry. Getting carried away, as usual. No purples, no neons.

:P
