Short Talk:
Happy Birthday Joyce. It was great meeting you last night at Luconia, eventhough I didn't expect myself to be wrapped up and given to you as a birthday present.
Run For Your Lives
Almost two months till Chinese New Year and already the assault has begun.



Cover your eyes, cover your ears, boys and girls.

I'll get the ji-ge-long-dong-qiang-dong-qiang outta here while I can.

How do you think all those poor buggers in the Anglosphere feel one, or even two months before Christmas? Its Christmas carols all day long, man. And it drives them abso-bloody-lutely nuts.

CNY songs never fails to gave me a violent migrane.
Posted by: anthraxxxx at 19 December 2005 3:31 AM | Link to comment
That was the reason why I had rather spent my CNY in Melbourne alone, for the past 3 years.
Now that I've graduated, I think I have no choice but to work on my immune system all over again.
Cheers

Not as bad as the shops in UK playing xmas songs and putting up the decorations in October or something.

Wei De, how about we exports some of those VCDs to Singapore? I'm sure we can arrange for that.

Boy, I'll be back in KCH for CNY after a 4 year haitus and am already having sleepless nights because of this. [keeping fingers crossed that dad wouldn't play one of these to usher in the new year]

Posted by: zhiyao at 19 December 2005 12:53 PM | Link to comment
guys, you have to bear in mind...
there are some people who only celebrate four festivals in a year - CNY, midsummer, mooncake and midwinter. so, christmas, jan 1, and for that matter hari raya and national day are non-events for them. so they like gaudy and cheena - liddatlohwattodo?

All these artists are very powerful in the sense that they get to release one album per-year. This is almost as powerful as those HK canto-pops artist you know...

Ang Pows are never really free. They are payment for enduring this massive assault on your senses. Not that I'm complaining.

I seriously hope CNY songs get banned forever and ever and ever in Malaysia (while I'm in Malaysia). They're instruments of torture. They're the REAL weapons of mass destruction. I hate them so much I wanna burn down any house that I goto that plays CNY songs. And I'm chinese.
Death to CNY songs! Yay!

Hey Kenny,

I live in Australia so I miss out on the shopping centre music this year. Good luck enduring it! I hope you can tahun!
