chinese new year has come and gone, to me it is. chap goh mei dont really mean much to me, its another dinner that's all.

1 thing i hate about chinese new year is the fucking weather. its hot, hot and hot, its always like this for as long as i can remember. its so hot i cant open my eyes to drive, its so fucking hot i bath 10 times a day. and it takes 30 minutes for my car to cool down after the air cond is put on full blast and the window wind down a bit.

but for everything i hate, there are some i like, like seeing friends and family again after a year, the merry eating and drinking and lol, it's fun, it's like christmas but hotter. i heard from one of my cousin who accidentally is a teacher in one of those international school, and i overheard him saying that some of his students never saw a real life chicken before in their life, i'm not talking about seeing on tv but actually seeing it in the market. i dont really buy it, as you know during all these long conversation with ppl that we meet once a year, we tend to exagerate a little bit, maybe a little more than a little bit, after all its just conversation. so while i was in my kampung for cny i took some pictures to share with some of you city folks that have seen some of this thingy before. i call this kampung 101.
