Every Chinese New Year to me, it's always the same. Other than taking red packets from the married and elder people, and also the rest days, nothing much already. After such a long preparation for the Chinese New Year to arrive, and without knowing, it's over!

Time is rushing like nobody's business, faster and faster every year. Without us knowing, another New Year will soon to be arriving already. How time flies man! Still remember when I was still a young kid who follows my parent everywhere to visit our relative's house, till few years ago that we started not to follow our parents to house visit and visit our friend's house (in a whole bunch) and collect lots of red packets, till now that we hardly even want to visit our friends house as all are working and busy with their own stuff. Collecting of red packets is no longer an enjoyment for me, but rather a stress as people will ask you "Wa.. long time no see, so big already, got boyfriend or not? When getting married?" Argh~~ Hate answering such questions.

As usual, I have to make a trip to Malaysia every day on the first day of Chinese New Year as it is my mother's hometown. Frnakly, I like Malaysia more than Singapore, in a sense that Malaysia are really more friendly and approachable than Singaporeans, who always think highly on themselves and gives a stuck up face. If Malaysian have the culture of Singapore and educational level the balance of Singapore, I think Malaysia isn't a bad choice either.

While chatting with my parents and relatives in Malaysia one night, we were talking about my cousin having boyfriend at the age of 18. Well, to me 18 years old is old enough to get themselves a partner (only if they know what they are doing that is). They were saying that the guy doesn't have money and does not have a career, he can't even take care of himslef, how to take care of her? Well, I couldn't deny that in this reality world, money and education is something that one must have and cannot be treated lightly. There is always one saying, one person cannot live with money, without money, a person will not live.

Mum was saying, if find a boyfriend, must get one with an income of at least S$5K. I told her, now in this world, finding a person who takes home S$5K isn't easy. With the present economy status, I think it's even worst. S$5K income, I hope I have too, how which company will give you a S$5K income if you are just an executive, engineer or even a manager. I think that my pay is certainly quite high already, and to find a higher paid job, it's really not that easy. Letting said finding a boyfriend with pay at S$5K. Maybe I can look for a guy who can give me a house along the sentosa beach and a vehicle to drive, which I can be a tai tai for the rest of my life. Haha.

Well, enough my complaints and venting. As mention, I went over to Malaysia on Monday and ger the chance to walk the newly opened Malaysia Custom. Well, can't deny that the new Malasyai Custom was really nice. Taking away the long walk before we can reach City Square, it's certainly quite a nice building. Took some pictures along the way back to Singapore yesterday.

As my office is close for the week, I will be resting at home for the rest of the day. But guess, not much as I have so many things to do for my band as well and tomorrow is already packed like sardine, I doubt I'll be able to rest well too. But I'm still quite excited for Friday night's Hua Yi Festival as I will be attending a musical "Design for Living", which I guess will be quite a good show as all the three main artist are quite well know for their acting in Taiwan.
