Chinese Valentines Day!

Last week Chinese New Year ended on the 15th night of the lunar chinese year also known as Chap Goh Meh(in Hokkien) but that night holds another significance it is also known as the Chinese Valentine's day. On that night Daniel, Sue and Whitley suddenly gave me a call while i was sick at home watching American Gangster. They said they where on their way to pick me up to go see the netting of mandarin oranges.

Netting of the Oranges explained: Nobody knows when did this tradition started, it is where single women will write down their name and phone number on a mandarin orange and throw it into the lake. That is when hopefulguys will take a net and scoop up the orange(s) and give the lady or ladies a call. Its sort of like a blind date Chinese Trad style!!!

The reach the lake next to AMCorp mall i forgot what the place is called, its the 1st time i been there. Wow there sure are lots of people there, couples, single people, and groups of friends helping each other find a date. The atmosphere there is very lifely just like what you get at a carnival or parade. From their age group we can see that majority of them are students. Where there are crowds you will see business! there are stalls selling mandarin oranges, match making service, rose soft toy and etc!

Haha so i went and net an orange for fun and got an orange with the name Carol... 01633????? i cant remember the rest as i put the orange back into the lake. Haha honestly im not into this blind date kind of thing. Just have to wait to find the girl who is attached to the other end of my red thread of fate.

Hopefuls and couples gathered at the parade

Pixar Animation...... simply the best!!!

Raymond completed the download of Ratatouille last night. Since its the Year of the rat n all so i decided to watch it to ease my soul a little bit. Since last year i wanted to watch this show but none of my friends wanted to see this because they brand Computer Generated Animations as "kiddie" shows =_= Well i think CG movies are cool take Shrek for example great movie with adult humor and its satirical potrayal of the modern community. Ok enough about that back to what i was mentioning just now.

Pixar makes the best CG animations as far as i can remember from the humble its beginnings of Toy Story which i remember as a boy, it was awe inspiring as a shift from 2 dimensional animation to life-like 3D animation. To date i have watched Toy Story 1 & 2, Monster Inc, A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Ratatouille. The only movie that i have not watch is Cars.... hmmm i wonder why? probably i will get it and watch someday. The magic that Pixar makes knows no boundaries young and old can get together and be captivated by its beautifully crafted animations, heartwarming scenes, and brilliant storyline. Someday i will get the complete collection of Pixar animated CG movies for my collection.

Watchout beloowww....

What's this feeling??? i felt it before .....

Haiz ..... sleepless nights ..... lost of appetite ..... it all started when i last visited one of my best friends' house for Chinese New Year. There she was as friendly as ever as she invited me in as my friend and his family where out shopping. While awaiting their return we watched some tv and play cards like we used to like all the CNY before. The person sitting in front of me was none other than the girl i knew 6 years ago .... but this time its different, my how much have she changed over the years. So its true what people say! girls tend to get prettier when they are becoming a lady. The look of her eyes really can easily make a guy fall head over heals... her smile can just take all your worries away. Well one thing that never changed was her personality, always so bubbly and hospitable. What i found out surprisingly was that she is still available??!! for a beautiful and a attractive girl she is bound to have leigons of guys going after her.

Spellbounded as it is i felt like i have fallen into her spell. Its been more than a year now since my last relationship. A feeling long forgotten is rekindled... im at a lost here right now what shall i do? i dont even know where to start. Does she already have a guy she likes? will her family be ok with it? do it stand a chance in gaining her affection? questions like this start to surface in my mind. Suddenly i feel weak.... i need a leap of faith ... no regrets in the path i choose ... tell me people what shall i do?
