changed my blog layout! finally right? this layout is much simpler, and mostly black and whitish... i hope not much conking up when everyone views the page, like the previous layout where i did too much html experiments then.

chinese new year was not very different for me this year. spent the whole day going from one house to another. entertained stupid questions and put on fake smiles, sitting on their couches nibbling on ba gua. the year of the rooster doesnt seem to be going well for me, financially.

bad omen 1:
average ang bao: $4
number of relatives who gave: 6
number of relatives who siam, including that old crone who refuses to get married: 9
total income: 6 X $4 = $24

bad omen 2:
went to lin lao shi's house... played bridge (lost 5, won 1) played dai dee (lost 6, won 3) played mahjong (lost 14, won 2)

ARGH!

one song is stuck in my head. the song we're teaching the little devils to sing for celebrations...

(to be sung in the tune of old macdonald)
here comes the new year marching round
ee yaiii ee yaii o!
with a cockadoodle here
and a cockadoodle there
here cock
there cock
everywhere a cock cock
here comes the new year marching round
ee yaiii ee yaii o!
