Short Talk:
Dear sis, aunties and uncles living overseas: Just because you're not here doesn't mean you're spared. :) Quick, send me an e-angpow!
At The Stroke of Midnight
All men are created equal, but not all lukams are built the same.
First, there's your average garden-variety nothing-too-special lukams.
And then there's Super Lukams.
SUPER LUKAMS leh! Don't pway pway. Zhng my lukams!
Chinese New Year this time round for me was celebrated unlike previous years. This is the first CNY I 'celebrated' without my father.
My other family members had all gone on holidays overseas. I myself didn't save up enough for an overseas trip, so I'm kinda left in Kuching alone. Not that I'm complaining though. I have real fantastic friends and relatives to ensure there's never a dull and lonely moment for me. :)
Chu Xi (CNY eve) was spent having a reunion dinner and doing the lao sheng at my eldest aunt's place. Thank God for cousins. In the absence of mom and sis, they're the closest thing I can have to a family.
Later that evening, I joined Alwyn and Tim watching spectacular civilian-sponsored fireworks at a 'white house' on a hilltop near Kuching City Centre.
Malaysia, like many other countries, outlawed fireworks years ago. But somehow these fireworks were able to swim from China over the ocean and into Kuching. These aren't your average RM5 fireworks that goes "Peeeewwww- poot!" and then disappear just like that.
These are the serious bad-ass kinds that go
"Peeeewwwww-la-la-la-BOM!!!"
And the whole sky exploded into tiny little fragments.
They usually only reserve these for special occasions like the New Year's Eves. Except this was BETTER than New Year's Eve. Those ones lasted for a measly 5-minutes and was concentrated in one location only.
It was special last night in Kuching. Near midnight, THOUSANDS of these 'civilian-sponsored' fireworks were released from backyards of ordinary Kuching people into the skies. From where we were standing, we got a good 360 degree aerial view of the entire city spectacularly lit up in fireworks.
It was truly a sight to behold. The fireworks went on, and on, and on, for a good one hour. It was SO GOOD it's like having an hour-long orgasm.
Happy Chinese New Year, boys and girls. It's the year of the dawg, yo!

Plenty of big flowering fireworks in Tropicana, but hardly any firecrackers to be heard. Still, not as long as your one hour Kuchingite orgy ;-)
Have you seen those really tiny kam - the lime-sized ones in plastic baskets? Those are really sweet.

Kenny,Thanks for bringing the Kuching CNY spirit to the rest of the world. Keep it up.

I didn't purchase any firworks this year, but funny enough, my English neighbours (without knowing it's Chinese New Year eve) decided to set off some fireworks...
Was a treat for me, a Sillyporean in Ang-Moh land.

Happy Chinese New Year to you.
Too bad we can't do that in Singapore. Even if you managed to get your hands on the fireworks, you must plan your escape route after setting it off.

Why do you have 年年有愚 not 年年有余 on your banner？
You know 愚 = stupid right?
I'm sure it was just a typo for you.
Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year!!! BTW, is it possible for someone to make the fireworks to swim over the ocean to Singapore from Kuching? I love fireworks and I have seen 3 fireworks in Sdyney since the new year. One on the New Year Day, one on Australia Day, and one on the CNY eve. Wonderful :) We should have another one on the 15th of CNY.

I stay on the top storey of a HDB flat in northern Singapore and I can virtually see the entire Johor stretching away on my balcony. When the clock struck 12 on Saturday night, the entire horizon to the north (i.e. Malaysia) a literally 'ablaze' with all manner of fireworks big and small, colorful flashes of light and what have you. For one moment I thought there was going to be a military invasion!
Standing on my balcony, I cannot help but notice the very silent, 'dead', dark and unhappening foreground that is my HDB estate in Singapore :(

Hmm... Well traditionally, when there's a death in the family, you can't celebrate CNY the following year.
Guess that's why you are left alone and your family left for vacation overseas.
