Welcome to Sam's world!

"Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away"

It was only just abt a month ago when i celebrated new year's eve with jan and gl and of course, the marina bay crowd. Yesterday felt almost like dejavu again only tt this time, it was countdown to cny with my family! The atmosphere was certainly different, with cny songs blasting in the background and the more bearable crowd who were there for various reasons. We did our usual routine which was to the temple's.

But before tt, we'd usually spend some time reading our fortune for the year before kpo-ing abt others' fortunes. So...where's my moomoo? Moomoos are supposedly lucky this yr, or so it's predicted - be it health, work, finance, romance etc. Hmm... let's just wait and see! Oh! One thing 'bad' for moos will be the fact tt we'd not only be losing sleep but memory as well. Gosh... I already have them. Can't imaging them worsening any further. Haha...

There were so many ppl checking out those fortune boards! And amidst the crowd, guess who I spotted yet again? Mandy!! Haha... It seems to be a yearly affair eh? Saw her there at that very same spot last year. And wow! It's now the following year! Guess she sums it up best when she said 'may we meet at the same spot next year!' Yeah! U bet!

One thing awesome abt cny in Singapore's tt streets are always lively and full of activity, esp in the nights, just like what u see here in this picture. I mean... all the various stalls lining up the pedestrain street gives so much life to the area being such great nodes of activity. Stall vendors shouting out their fares for sale + the crowd + an occassional cai shen ye ('fortune god') roaming the streets while distributing his red packets of well wishes does add a cny feel to an otherwise increasingly westernised singapore i think.

The crowd outside the temple was really like OMG. As it wasn't exactly 12am yet, many were waiting outside and along the sides within the temple with their lighted joss sticks of various lengths and thickness. Apparently they were waiting for the stroke of midnight to jostle for first place in sticking their joss sticks into the urn. I'm not really sure what the reason is for that though. But anyways, we didn't join in the wait as my eyes were already feeling really uncomfortable being all watery and stuff.

So what did i pray for? Nothing much actually. Just wished for the health of my family and friends. Anyways, before i forget, may the year of the rat bring great abundance of peace, health, prosperity and happiness to one and all. Enjoy ur long break before next work wk starts all over again. zzz Alright! Gtg! Catch ya all some other time!
