Chinese New Year

春节 is here! It is also known as the Chinese lunar new year and marks the first day of the first month in the Chinese calendar. Legeng has it that a monster by the name of Nian could infiltrate homes silently. It came to the people's understanding that Nian was sensitive to loud noises and the colour red. Thus this brought to the current customs during Chinese new year where everyone don red clothes and using firecrackers.

On a personal note, i love Chinese new year cos it's a time for me to feast away. Be it abalone, fish maw, sea cucumber or mama's Hainanese Chicken Rice or meatballs, they are nice dishes to share with the family on a special reunion. Part of the fun comes from baking cookies and making minuscule meat floss popiahs with my erjie ( the size of our mini popiah is about half of normal on sale ones!) The TV in my house is virtually switched on for most of the time to add to the festive mood.

During the 2nd day of chinese new year, MIB 3 will be back and our family will get really busy showering them with attention. The living room would then be strewn with toys and the house gets really noisy...With MIB 3 around, i'm sure Nian would stay away cos he'll be terrified of their loud voices...haha.

Ahhh...the joys of Chinese New year....

HAPPY TOGETHER

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice,

it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

MIB III Celebrates!

MIB III celebrates a landmark event today. It is the birthday of the founding and oldest member, LL. And the whole world rejoices... bring on the presents!

Slime

Wow! The most most bouncy monster i've encountered so far. They can be found in abundance near every town on the map. Its large population meant good training for the beginning stages

Superstitions

Do you believe in superstitions? Personally i'm not one to be affected by such old wives tales, just fascinated by them. I am now sharing with you some of the more common ones i stumbled upon while surfing the net :

BRIDGE
If you say good-bye to a friend on a bridge, you will never see each other again.

CLOCK
If a clock which has not been working suddenly chimes, there will be a death in the family.

FINGERNAILS
It is bad luck to cut your fingernails on Friday or Sunday.

KNITTING
It's bad luck to leave a project unfinished. The intended recipient will get bad luck from the unfinished item.

ROCKING CHAIR
If you leave a rocking chair rocking when empty, it invites evil spirits to come into your house to sit in the rocking chair.

SHOES
Do not place shoes upon a table, for this will bring bad luck for the day, cause trouble with your mate and you might even lose your job as a result.

It's bad luck to leave shoes upside down.

UMBRELLA
Dropping an umbrella on the floor means that there will be a murder in the house.

X
The number of Xs in the palm of your right hand is the number of children you will have.

星星就是　窮人的珍珠　

你的笑　支撐著　我虔誠　的最初

狂風沙是　我單薄衣服　穿越過　亞細亞　的迷霧

雲破日出　你是那道光束　帶著平凡的我　走過奇蹟旅途

Stump

A continuation to my introduction of Maple monsters. The stump looks like an uprooted tree. It is not much of an attacking monster as it is extremely slow. Can be found almost anywhere on the map.

Bored to the Core

I'm still alive! No updates for several days but i'm still alive and kicking. I've been keeping myself occupied with some meaningful endeavours... =D

First and foremost a hearty congratulations to Sheau Ching and Shin Yen who announced their engagement on New Year day! What a brilliant start to a brand new 2006! Shin Yen has been a buddy for 13 years of my life and i truly wish her well.

In midweek, it was rendezvous with 2 old pals whom i have not seen for many years. I enjoyed a heart-warming dinner at Crystal Jade Seafood Kitchen on Thursday night with Yi Min and Fely. It was my first time meeting up with Yi Min (AKA Dr. Wan) in 6 years and with Fely in 3 years. Appearances and habits may have changed significantly but friendship remains strong.

Yesterday was Gromit day. Watching Gromit and Wallace capturing the were-rabbit that was savaging the crops of the villagers preparing for the Giant Vegetable Competition tickled my funny bones to the max! It's shocking how simple movements of Gromit's forehead can emote so many different expressions....

Working today... Bored... "-.-

Hello Asshole!

This story was buried by the press- and has only been recently released by British Intelligence:

Osama Bin Laden himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting, to let him know he was still in the game. Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line of coded message: 370HSSV-0773H. Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and her aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI, so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA. With no clue as to its meaning, they eventually asked Britain's MI-6 for help. Within a few minutes MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply "Tell the President he's holding the message upside down"
