SING NI KUAI LAK

thats HAPPY NEW YEAR for all of you non-teochiu people. of which i am sure there are a lot. dammit. so today is chinese year day number one. happy new year :]

went to crown casino last night and then box hill. it was okay. going with friends would have been more fun i admit but new years time should be about family ay. we did all the praying to ancestors stuff a week ago already so on the actual new years eve when youre traditionally supposed to do it we didnt do anything lol. and this morning i got up at 8 which is like aiyah-so-early-for-me-i-havent-done-that-in-ages to set up a small altar to the Di Ju Ia 地主爺 which is like the god of the land or something like that. i think its for di ju ia anyway. haha

anyway will post pictures later of my new year rituals. man the photos make me hungry. all right enough. uni orientation starts tomorrow. meet some pharmacy people. didnt see any pretty girls on enrolment day :[ maybe i will tomorrow.

and now for my new year greetings to you with my own dodgy engrish transrations:

新年快樂

NEW YEAR HAPPY

心想事成

HEARTS LONGING ITEMS BECOMING

學業猛進

SCHOOL'S WORK ADVANCE VIGOROUSLY
