its over!

the chinese lunar new yr holiday.... is over... just as fast as it arrived.... today is the 8th day of the lunar new yr... many are still half dizzy from the holiday mood... slow email... sheepish responds... all part of the holidays hangover... it will be another yr before i have to face those relative of mine... phews... its hard work to 'entertain' them... till next yr... we look forward to more unnerving Q&A from relative... and smaller ang pao... well actually its not all over yet!... still got 15-8 days to go!... there is the... 15th 元宵...

went to china town on CNY eve after re-union dinner... the street was closed from traffic for pedestrians to walk... it was getting rather crowded and you can feel the atmophere was building up at around 11pm... the firecrackers and fireworks display at 12mn was spcetacular!... the whole gun powder display was around 7-8mins... worth the time and effort of squeezing through sweating, smelly crowds (including me.... hahaha...) luckily it was windy.... so... still not too bad...
