Blame the kanina weather la. Blame the bloody kanina weather.

There are so many things to expect when chinese new year comes. Like the shocking emptiness of the usually crowdy ss2. The 7 (or was it 10?) little disposable girls clad in red frilly cheongsams with braided furry furry hair who make one album wonders every single freaking year. Disposable because they get replaced every single year. Didn't you know? Maybe one or two might stay for another year for publicity purposes but i swear these little singing girls get replaced and even the tong tong chiang songs get popped or rocked up year by year. Brrr. Reunion dinners/lunch/brunch. Yee sang with salmon. Fireworks everywhere you go. Highway bottleneck jams and pile-ups. But nothing, nothing at all, no matter how red, or how big the ang pau gets, nothing beats the weather. The humid, stinging, sticky, warm weather.

I'm not asking our beloved malaysia to snow. But maybe the goverment can suggest more brilliant ideas to air-conditon our country than to build a ghastly zig-zag bridge at the tebrau straits to "boost ties with s'pore". Please la.

Puzzled i am between the ongoing feud between our very own materialistic and rather impractical feng shui master Lilian Too and the young successful feng shui newcomer-to-the-public-scene Joey Yap. Some of you may not have heard of these 2 people and if it wasn't for my parent's obssession with attending feng shui seminars and wasting hundreds or precious bucks on dvds and lilian too magazines, i wouldn't know that lilian too was such a bitch, or joey yap was a better feng shui master or lilian's daughter jeniffer had fake blond hair and is pretty busty. But then again, why the fuck should i give 2 shits about feng shui and its practitioners? You have parents who apply feng shui to every single thing in the house, from the golden pagoda to the bronze frog or the crystal horse strategically placed at every corner and nook. You have no other choice but to actually give a shit. So what so good about this joey yappadedoo guy? And why is he fast overshadowing the prosperous lilian too? Could it be because lilian too sacks her secretaries because they forgot to polish her golden pagodas? Or that she doesn't distribute goodie bags to attendees of her seminars? Maybe because we are all getting sick of jeniffer too constantly standing beside her mum in her tv shows acting like a dumb bimbo with her fake tan and spaghetti hair? I think its either that or maybe joey yap is a better, more practical feng shui master who has erm... balls.
