Firstly and foremost, before this post's body, I would like to wish everyone out there a very happy and fruitful golden mousey year!
Secondly, I would be delicating this post to a particular someone who came and poked me about my blog collecting dust. ^.^
Blog proper:
Well, everyone knows that its that time of the year when you hear people saying things like gong xi whatever and happy chinese new year. A very joyous time for many Singaporeans as the "young" visits relatives in order to obtain this special "item", the "HONG BAO". If you're considered "young", don't you just love this time of the year? Free money and free vaction from school! Well I believe that I belong to a more rare group that actually enjoys all these visits to friends and family. Personally, I believe (very much like the missing spirit of Christmas) that CNY is much more than what we see now. Its about friends and family. Another festive season that has been over-commercialized by money hounding businesses and more. Anyway, enough of what I think. Guess many people out there won't really be interested in what I think about CNY and other seasons anyway.
This year, from the blessings of one of my aunts, I've received a something that's more than normal money within a hong bao. Shown in the picture posted below, its a note commenorating the many years that Singapore's currency has been interchangable with that land filled with riches to our east, Brunei. I seriously think its really awesome, cool and thoughtful to give something like that. ^.^ Thanks!!
