Rubik Cube (or ‘魔术方块’in Chinese)...

My cousins have been obsessed with this piece of toy years back...
A stupid me can't figure out the solution...

A Merry Chinese New Year....

Whoa! What a merry Chinese New Year of 2010!

Grandmother's house was PACKED with relatives on the 2nd day. Initially, it was a gathering for grandmother and her siblings. However, ALL the members of the siblings' family turned up at the lunch gathering. Grandmother's house was big enough for 30-50 people...!

I do recognise most of the relatives that came on last Monday...

Happy Chinese New Year...!

It's been a while since my last blog...
So what happened between Bernard and Kee now? Back to normal. I mean no more partnership.

Chinese New Year is just days ahead...
And I'll be going back to my hometown...
As I grew older, the spirit of celebrating Chinese New Year seems to fade... Why? Probably as we grow older, we are no longer the child that we use to be. What we can really do is just remise or remember it as part of our chilhood days.
