Fireworks...

Fireworks.

You hear lots of them during the Chinese New Year season and also some religious festivals. You see them flying up into the night sky in all kinds of beautiful colors. They make so much noise and rob off your sleep. And they stink up the air with burnt smell. Then in the morning you see the residues left by them in the streets. And in front of some Chinese house you see piles of red papers on the floor and no one sweeps it away for at least 5 days because it is considered an auspicious thing.

Fireworks have very brief lifespan. They are made to be burnt. In them are lots of gunpowder and firepower that allows them to make so much noise. People light them up and see them go up in flames for a few brief seconds. After that, they are remembered no more. They attract a lot of attention and all eyes look at them on their last moment of life when they blow up in the sky producing a beautiful display of lights and sounds. And we humans are in awe to see such beautiful night amusement.

Fireworks live a life so brief.

Last week, a group of us gathered at Jolene’s house for a CNY meet up and we had some fun playing card games, chatting, blowing off fireworks and doing some minor vandalism haha.

I have been really busy this season to constantly update my blog. However I would love to update it more often once I am more settled and know how to use my time well. Will update this space as often as possible.

As for my new blog design, it is incomplete. I am not the one doing it, my friend Christopher Cheong is doing it for me and he is so “nice” to leave his work half done. I am chasing him to complete it as soon as possible so bear with me ya =)

Lighting up the mini bombs and placing the orange cone on top of it and watching it blow off sending the cone flying up into the air =) was fun...

When Sheng Giap farts...

Harry Potters wannabes.

And then they kidnapped my camera...

And did this.

Happy CNY. =D
