hmm this year i had one of the more memorable cny eves XDD
mostly because i didn't go straight home after reunion dinner and went to see fireworks instead, haha, and also because i don't have homework nor exams to worry about. YES!
went to this restaurant at china town to have reunion dinner and the stupid food come so fast coz they were rushing to finish off our round and start the next round coz ppl were waiting outside alr.. TSK. eat slowly cannot arh?
after the dinner, went to walk along chinatown, hehe, saw this band of ppl playing latin insturments! woohoo i never see live performance before, only in recordings played by mr wong during sec 3/4 MEP lessons T__T
oh well, nothing fantastic la.

squeezed through chinatown only to find that most of the ppl there are like angmoh tourists and china workers O__O right. what happened to all the singaporeans??!
chinatown nothing much la, just amused by the vendors, they were all shouting, or rather, singing, the same phrase : 五块五块五块，赶快赶快赶快！！ and there's even an english version: 5 dollar 5 dollar, fast fast 5 dollar
O__O
that made me sing along XD

made my way to river hongbao, sheesh i hate it's english name. ok 春到河畔
walk walk walk until near the stage there, then SUDDENLY, to my horror, there were ONLY male PRCS around us, wah left right center. pushing and shoving dunno for what, as if the performances on stage very interesting, must crowd down there and look..
and they were all so smelly and sticky, plus towering over me O____O
never felt so sinophobic,if this word even exists
according to my father, there are 100,000 china workers in singapore, and i'm pretty sure that ALL of them are down at chinatown or river hongbao. seriously, i thought i was in china for a minute. nightmare.


the chinatown from hell



fake sakura

walked around and saw some funfair rides, hehe quite interesting, esp this one i haven't seen before, a spinning circular cage thingy, in which there's no tight safety belt to hold u in place but just a loose string, and the ride relies totally on physics to keep you in place and make sure you don't fall, quite cool, but after looking at the ticket prices, i didn't feel like riding anything anymore. HEH



went to esplanade to watch fireworks, TSK i went to the wrong place la, should have gone to fullerton that side, nearer to the fireworks. but at that time i didn't know where the heck were they shooting the fireworks from. NOW i know, next yr must go
oh well, it was quite ok la, 10 mins, seemed like quite a long time , haha
i know fireworks in japan or china go on for hours, but aiya so long neck will pain anyway =D the only minus was that because i was standing at a not so ideal spot, i kenna blocked by tree and thus could only see the bottom part when the fireworks started to shoot up. on top all kua bo. T___T


so UN-high la

haha on the way home i saw ppl holding their freaking long joss sticks out of the window and let the ask fly and fly, while driving on the expressway. a total of 2 cars and one motorbike, damn funny la! took a super LQ video of it.
