And today is the 1st day of CNY. Happy CNY to all! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Yesterday was rather different from my planned routine. 1st of all, the meeting ends at 1.25pm instead of 5pm. Yeah!
And no rest after reaching home. Eat, shop, shop, eat. Buy eggs and cakes to stock up for the holidays, as ya know, most of the shops are closed on 1st day of CNY. A simple act to apply to the term 'stock up the grains to prevent hunger or jin gu fan ji'.
Now this is the most funniest part 0f the attachment yesterday, where Gina, my groupmate for attachment, asked James the supervisor, how to pronounce ju hua (chrysanthemum) in English, cos she wants to test his English ability (everyone was too bored), and he replied:
khek huay (chrysanthemum in hokkien.)
here comes the...should i say the highlight of the day?
fight for cheap goodies at chinatown.
unsurprisingly, the place was packed with people getting the cheap goodies on the last minute. One lesson to be learnt from here: never wear brand new clothes if you are going to squeeze people in a packed place. thank goodness i am not squeezing in my brand new billabong tees...
in the end, i make a last minute decision: i purchased Ray Charles: Genius Loves Company. The made in China version at $7.
Like what Cindy told me just now: it's now or never, cos i dun think i will be in Chinatown for a long period.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
