Antarctic Week I-cannot-remember-and-cbfed still: Chinese New Year and everything else that i'll be missing out on.

oh good Lord, it's already the middle of February! and can you believe it that chinese new year is just around the corner?! i've been talking to many of you who aren't trapped on an icy continent as i am, and all we've been talking about is chinese new year preparations, gatherings, ang pows and food! do you have any idea how torturous that is?!

to be honest, i can't even remember what i did for last year's chinese new year. i know i was definitely at home. oh wait, that's right. i gambled and drank a lot. and met LOLA!

anyway, this time around, cny will be fireworks-less, angpow-less, abalone-less, SUPER AMAZING REUNION DINNER FOOD IN SEREMBAN-less, gambling-less, yeos chrysanthemum tea-less, new clothes-less, yee sang-less round gempak-less, just super amazing chinese new year food-less, annoying chinese new year songs-less, long yuk (bak kwa/whatever you guys call it)-less, chinese new year cookies-less...oh, and did i mention gambling-less????

sigh. one thing that won't be -less would be alcohol HAHA! on that note, i've been trying to cut down on my alcohol consumption. i don't drink except on saturday and 'special occasions' haha. whatever la at least it's a start. good news is though, the station is gonna have a massive chinese new year celebration for me, which, i forsee now, will be filled with endless copious amounts of alcohol being consumed. i hope they have fireworks on station. i am going to dress up as a red guard of Chairman Mao's for the occasion because i believe in communism. besides, i've already worn that black cheongsam and black is inauspicious for chinese new year.

ok la, if i don't see you (which i highly doubt i will) or talk to you before that, well, happy chinese new year la to all you folks. team kajang - go get trashed and take shitloads of photos to show me ok? parentals - don't forget to collect angpow for me; just because i'm not there isn't an excuse to not receive angpows HAHA i'm not dead ok? OBS kaki - eh miss kailan and ahyun, just go out oni la ok? if that fatty too lansi and no one else can make the reunion, just go FUCK IT and have a good time by yourselves..i promise i'll be there in spirit...and to renren and eugenia - well..just get drunk la and collect angpows like there's no tomorrow - we're too young for work and wages! everyone else - well, i guess you know what to do la.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR FOLKS!
