1. The rainy days stop and the blistering hot sunny days start
2. Your days become an orgy of pineapple tarts, peanut biscuits and mandarin oranges
3. Your waistline starts expanding at an alarming exponential rate of growth
4. Your eardrums are filled with the incessant chatter of relatives and kids, peppered by the occasional explosions of firecrackers
5. You forego washing your hair and sweeping the floor for fear that you will wash away all your prosperity and luck
6. You start calculating the net profit or loss for all the angpows you have given out compared to all the angpows you received and wondering whether it is ever going to even out (applicable for the married)
7. You start calculating the net profit for the angpows you have received compared to the net profit for the angpows you received last year and wondering whether it is ever going to cover the inflation rate (applicable for the singles)
8. Your fingers start itching for the feel of mahjong or cards and your mind is obsessed with whether the new red underwear this year is going to help you get revenge from your friends for the losses incurred last year....
Happy New Year everyone! May you be bouncing with health, hopping with happiness, and multiplying your wealth like rabbits!

I went to a schoolmate reunion and got an ang pow from one my my schoolmates (whom I don't even remember - and she works in the same office building!). I realise I have so little in common with them. Most are married with kids.
Hey Yeekoh!!! It's Jin Hui.
This is super late, but we all wish we could've been back for CNY cause it was CRAZY cold here.
