Chinese New Year Eve 2009

Today’s Chinese New Year Eve, hmm… another year is going to pass soon and I’m getting older and wiser :D Joshua and Derek wanted to go to Chinatown to watch the fireworks and walk the streets at night. Initially, I was quite hesistant about going thinking that there might be a lot of people, but I went in the end.

But it was after my family’s steamboat dinner at home which I opened another bottle of red wine, and drank almost half  the bottle by myself because the rest of my family doesn’t drink that much. I was actually even tempting my almost 3 years old nephew to drink a bit hehe :P because if he drank some, I’m sure he will be sleeping quite soundly for the night.

Well, was at chinatown and there is indeed a lot of people. But Derek and Joshua commented that it wasn’t as many as compared to last year. I should guess it’s the financial crisis that caused people to be stuck at home.

Saw the fireworks, wasn’t as spectacular as I anticipated since I’ve done fireworks before during my Uni days. Went around the normal usual chinatown shops with the goods prices dropping sharply after midnight. Then went to take a look at some potted plants which Joshua was asking me to get a pot too, especially the cherry blossoms (Tao Hua) to boost my luck with women. hahaha. Wasn’t even thinking about that.. was thinking more about how to get that pot back if I were to get it rather.

All went well except for the sudden rain that caught most of people in the rain. We stayed till the rain turned into a drizzle before we went back.
