The Celebration Begins....

It's that time of the year again....Chinese New Year! Lots of things to do...make clothes, buy shoes, get ready to go back to Singapore...

CNY is also celebrated in Vietnam as the Chinese population in Vietnam is quite substantial. You can see all the flowers popping up everywhere, artists appearing on the streets waiting to write the 'chun lian' for customers, fortune tellers setting up stalls waiting to tell your fortune and of course, all the shops and stores putting up the red decorations.

But dont' try to go out unnecessarily as the roads are jammed packed with people going around buying their wares. And in the night, it gets worse as they are out to admire the flower exhibition in the city area....I didn't even dare to step out of the car for fear that I might be runned over by a motorbike!

My aunties were also in the full swing of things....buying fruits, sweets, hanging little dangly red lanterns and gold ingots and spring cleaning the whole house. But one thing really kind of took over the whole house...FLOWERS! They were everywhere!

There were the crysanthemums, cherry blossoms, pussy willows, those red flowers that is a must have in every household, kum quats and the special dragon fruit plant! Yup.... the dragon fruit plant. Am sure you have probably seen the fruit in the supermarkets but have you seen the plant? It's like a cactus that can grow quite huge, but here they've kept them small so that you can bring it home...

With all the festivities in the air, how can we not feel the atmosphere and get into the mood?! I can't wait to get back to Singapore to gamble, receive the ang pows and most importantly eat all the new year goodies!! hehe...

Here's wishing everyone a Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year!

It's Rain-ing in Vietnam

It's raining men! Hallelujah....it's raining men! Yeah yeah....

So as you can tell, Rain is coming to Vietnam! The Korean singer Rain that is...yup, he's coming to Vietnam as part of his world tour. And guess what....the tickets here are so much cheaper than that in Singapore!

S$250 for the VIP seats compared to the S$888 in Singapore! Since there was so much hype and write-up about his concert back in Singapore, I decided to 'entice' my auntie to go watch with me! Am not really his fan...but then cannot waste such an opportunity to be able to watch a good concert right?! hehe...

Yup...am going to the Rain concert...and my seat is like 4 feet away from the stage! Hope that I don't have to strain my neck watching him....or maybe I'll be close enough to touch his 6-pack! :P

Me going PSYCHO!

Ok....I just gotta let it out of my system!!! Hormones raging and going haywire!!! :}

Was watching a new Japanese Drama last night and boy am I glad that I chose to buy this series even though I didn't know what it was all about....bought it based on the DVD box cover....featuring the lead character of course...


Hayami Mokomichi.....HE IS FREAKING CUTE!!! Wah lao eh....it was major drool time for me! Tall, tanned, nice body, bloody good-looking....damn...why can't we see such fine male specimens in Singapore?? Or wherever we are!!??! And the show was about Regatta (some boat rowing sports thingy) so you could see all the muscles, wet bodies....ARGH!

Yes yes yes....I know... Old already still behaving like a crazed teen....But hey, I'm still a female and I have every right to admire excellent works of nature!! Yummy I tell you....yummy...hehe...

Ok...got it out of my system....back to normal now....back to my dignified and poised self.... :P
