Signs of Good Year with Feisty Returns

I'm feeling good about the new year and the below is what i've achieved so far:

Best 'change of image': I used to cut my hair really short for a drastic new look, but I've held back from cutting and persevered to keep my hair past shoulder length. Then, i have my FIRST perm in my entire life, and though people keep asking either 'why is your hair wet?' or 'did you just get up from bed?' till now, my wavy curls have been complimented on a good hair day where my cream is applied on properly. Moreover, I wear cheongsam for the FIRST time during CNY and i think i look pretty darn good in it hohoho. Minimum also can pass for some hot chick back in the olden Shanghai era, hohoho.

Best 'easy angpows': I never moved from my working table at the office but still get to receive 4 angpows from colleagues hehehe.

Best 'acknowledgment angpows': In the past, i always feel awkward receiving angpows at his house, but this time, it feels REALLY good when some of his parents' friends apologize to me (actually no need wan la) for not seeing me earlier in the house (fact is i came late) and fast fast gimme angpows. It is not so much about the monetary value of angpows i'm concerned with, instead, i appreciate the angpows more when it is given with sincerity and blessings.

Best 'new gadget': MAH Iphonnneeeeee...feels very very good for getting a brand new phone that is JUST me - colorful, vibrant, playful, animated, full of personality, hohoho. Feel exhilarated because it's one of the gadgets which I really desire after 5 years of using second-hand phone. Best of all, it makes me look VERY tech savvy with just suave swipes and light tapping, especially when done with a smug look.

ROARING CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

May we all have a prosperous, romantic new year with roaring success!!

The first day of Chinese New Year coincides with Valentine's this year. Honestly, i think family reunion precedes a couple occasion, especially if you have plenty of other days to make up V day with your bf/gf, or like some saying, "Everyday is a V day".

I'm very proud of my parents for staying up until 2 during their annual visit to his family's house. It takes great effort from both families for a two-person relationship to work. That's the wondrous thing about Chinese tradition.
