Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year this year was exceptionally boring for me. The only thing I looked forward to was the annual TU reunion at Ben's House. 

Its seems as we grow older, the hype for Chinese New Year fades significantly to the point that I just want to get it over and done with quickly. 

So I spent my first day of CNY just chilling at home waiting for something to happen, but nothing happened. Fortunately Petrine's always there for me and we went out to town. Surprisingly ION was pretty happening. 

I would really like to give a shoutout to 365days2play.com for having the best CNY post ever. You can read their post here. http://365days2play.com/2013/02/09/what-is-open-during-chinese-new-year-2013/

Totally helped lost souls like me find out where to go during CNY. If I hadn't chance upon this blog, I would probably be spending my CNY at home gorging on pineapple tarts. 

The second day of CNY was slightly more interesting for me, it's a family tradition to go to one of the grand uncle's house and collected a decent amount of ang paos considering it's the only day that I'll go house visiting. 

That pretty much sums up my entire CNY break which was gone in the blink of an eye. If CNY was a 15-day holiday, maybe it would be less boring.
