CNY 2012 : Shrink the Distance, Stretch the Time

Hey, who-ever-is-reading-this, Happy Chinese New Year...again.
In just a mere 2 days, my family and I went back to our hometown: Ipoh and Bagan Serai (Taiping) in Perak.
The laughter, the dialect that I couldn't comprehend, the language barrier that I would take years to break.
Though a Hokkien, I don't really speak or understand the dialect. Ok, maybe just a little. And, I regret it.
As a matter of fact, I do use quite some of those sign language.

2 days, 1 night, 2 hometowns, and a memory unforgettable.

 

Some roads. 

Some limitations, like time.

Some towns.

Some reunion.

Some families....just one family...one big family.

Some light and some darkness.

Some hawkers and food.

Some traditions.

Some blessings.

Some history.

Some scenery and architectures.

Some ages of legacy.

I know that there are only one picture that has my family in it, 'cos mum gets mad when take pictures of people. Mum says I'll get slapped. 

I would like to blog more about stuffs going on around me, but again, time is a limiting factor. 

I'll be going back for PLKN aka National Service tomorrow. 

When I come back (around 17 Mar 12), I will share more interesting things.

Stay tuned. 

CNY 2012 : Some Rememberance

Since I've came home from PLKN, many things have changed in me. Something that I can't control, something that is so obscure. So powerless. Like my aura being sucked out. So, mum gave me some "advice", and I didn't like it, but it's pretty true though. Who wants to be nagged on the 1st day of New Year?


Met Ruthresh at the Mines. After some much of "hide and seek", we finally found each other. Sharing stories in PLKN sounds interesting, in fact it's nothing. And, I got my Touch N Go back! Thanks, mate! XD And thanks fort the blended ice drink. 

Ruthresh brought me to see Noraini, who is working in Deli-France. Ken Lip, a classmate of mine is working in Kenny Rogers Roasters as well.

Then, Mum and Dad joined me and we went for lunch at San Francisco Pizza. Not many pictures taken. Mum is quite annoyed with cameras.

Capital Retail aka The Mines.

Hereby wishing you Gong Xi Fa Cai. BTW, many shops are closed as well.  

Bet you don't wanna see accidents from Final Destination, right?

Keep on smiling. 

Yea...I'm weird. We're great.

The outer look of the Mines. 

Quietness in Mines 2

You jump, I jump. Absolute silence. 

Some painting. 

Total dedication. 

you could see how great he is in making art. 

The people. 

Nice one! XD

CNY 2012 : Getting Warmed Up

After reading Lawrence Lessig's "Remix" (I give up on this book temporarily), I think I've made a mistake on this blog, which are the labels. Through the context, I realized that the labels or tags help readers to find what they are searching for. So, in this case, on what I've done, that categorizing my posts into some general labels is as good as nothing in easing readers to get what they want. Furthermore developing confusion and is a waste of time. Although,  just a few (maybe none) of you guys are reading this, but who cares. From this post onward, I'll label the posts with relevant and specific tags.

Ok. Some CNY happenings...basically, nothing. I arrived home on the 19th, and have around 1 week of holiday before I pay a visit back to hell..ermm...PLKN. Days on cleaning and mopping appear to be tougher than the days in PLKN, but alas, there's no place like home. Since then, this year's CNY mood seems to be slighter simple. CNY is a special occasion to all Chinese, and may the year of the Dragon fill our lives with joy, health and wealth.

Ooohh...it does get a little awkward and weird after 19 days not interacting with my parents. I can't communicate well anymore. This is bad.

By the way, I'm botak now, so I kinda look like a kid having cancer being treated with chemo.

Huat ar!!!

Light up the tradition. 

Some fireworks. 

A shadow: Darkness in yourself yet surrounded by light.
