New Year in the Chinese Calendar

Happy Chinese New year to all

I did not do much visitation this year as something unlucky happened to me on the 3rd day of Chinese New year. Since then, I have been staying home. Daddy dearest is feeding me very well. He will ask me what I want to eat for lunch the next day. Don't think I will miss Singapore food for a while. 

I love how Chinese New Year bring all the families together, even the extended families. Eating and gambling together, bickering and teasing non-stop, regardless of age. Oh, and drinking together. Best part is learning new drinking game from my cousin. She is damn good. Every new year, I will force her to teach me new game (usually it will involve using playing game). I also love Lo Lei, minus the mess of course. 

How is your Chinese New Year so far? I hope you are having a good time. =D

Carnival

Carnival, one of my favourite place to go. The food, the rides, the games and the people. Laughter all around and it is contagious( maybe with a bit of alcohol). I remember, when I was younger, my parent brought my siblings and me to carnival, or what we called funfair. It was like heaven. I still remembered eating all the cockles in the funfair. I have no idea why, but that's the most memorable for me of the carnival.

When I was in Brisbane, they had Ekka. I love love love it. They have animals as well! Oh, when I found out Melbourne has Royal Melbourne Show, I planned my trip according to the timeline, so that I could go. I love all the soft toys I won.

Guess what, there is a carnival in Hong Kong right now too. It is hosted by AIA. It is called AIA Carnival I think. Of course I went.  I had a good time there. I love thrill rides! I took a few videos of the rides there( remember to turn your volume unless you want to hear people screaming their lung out).









I took the ride shown in the 3rd video. Only the first 15 seconds was thrilling. After that, I just wished the ride could end earlier. My neck was killing me. The pressure of the ride basically killed my body. This is what old age is about. I used to be able to play this kind of rides non stop. Now, I only lasted for 15 seconds, one five! Seriously!

Too bad, there is no cockles for me to relive the memories. But still, I had fun running around the carnival.

My wins for the night!
