Year of the Horse.

YAY TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF CNY! (Well technically the 2nd day cos now its already 1224).
So first off, wishing everyone a very happy chinese new year!
Red everywhere, angpaos floating in our vision...One thing that is a "tradition" on social media would be the #ootd for EACH AND EVERY FREAKING DAY OF CNY. Like seriously how do people have that many outfits.

I honestly like CNY. Its my third most favourite celebration. Christmas being the first and New year being the second>>fireworks baby.
Not only do you get money for being young (HAHA JKJK), you get to finally meet up with relatives and cousins you haven't seen in like forever. Over the past few years, i actually learn how to appreciate family more. Many may dread this occasion of visiting, but trust me, don't waste this precious moment, time and occasion. Anything can happen; anything just touch and go. So to these 15 days ahead, i hope everyone will pause a moment and not idle their time away posting OOTDs and who knows what else on FB and Instagram. Talk to your grandmas and -pas, your aunties and uncles, share stories you've never heard or known ever. It'll be a different experience. Make it a different year.

Enough of my deep moment, so today was "new everything you wear" day. Legit. Being the first day of CNY, we all have new clothes, new shoes etc. And this new dress i had was pretty tight. like HELLO I'M FAT I GET IT. And relatives..or specifically my dad just had to emphasize it to my relatives. How less embarrassing can life get?
Meeting up with the cousins today was the best thing ever. Love them to the end of earth.



And recently we also came back from..
BANKOK.
Shut down bankok, Restart Thailand.
So currently there's all these riots or rather a calmer term known as "demonstrations" going on.
As scary as the news portrayed it to be, it was actually quite safe. Just VERY loud with the whistles and loud speakers. It was an experience i must say. Didn't regret anything. Attending my first overseas wedding was quite..cool. Its like watching a Japanese movie with no subtitles. We just clapped when everyone clapped, laughed when everyone did. HAHA. Did we have much of a choice?

And did i mention that Thai food is AWESOME. Mango sticky rice. Best thing ever. And their complexion. like OMGAH SO NICE?! and the trannys there are sexier than some actual women. Ironic.

ENDING OFF..
This month has been rather hectic.
1. Got a job, still lovin' it. (love my manager)
2. Got asked out. ALSO from one of my colleagues at my job (creepy).

okok lets pause to talk about my job for awhile.
Its really an experience as well. I learn things from the working world POV.
People treat you differently, you see how the world act, you see so many things, people from all walks of life...
You learn to appreciate the small things from your parents harsh scoldings about mannerisms when you were young, the education we were given, the EQ that some of us may lack.

ANYWAY,
I shall be deep again when i finish my contract at the start of March HAHA. So as i was saying...

3. Got back O's results
4. Was in the middle of a protest/demonstration in a foreign country. (even though i've seen a srilanka protest in UK)
5. Had all these CNY mumbo jumbo.
6. Everyone going their different paths in their JC/Poly/Overseas schools..

and blah blah blah..
but most importantly i hope everyone is well and healthy!
stay happy!
