Random CNY pics


Happy new year pull your ear;

Year of the pig don't light that cig;

Chase away the dog, there's no need to slog

No need to dig, ang pow ain't that big

Time to get hitched? Hope she's not a bitch

getting fucking old now, not yet married how?

Wishing for a lass, with a nice cute ass,

Ends up with a clown, or a bloody brown cow

Din get promotion dunno why, issit becos I'm too GY?

No promotion, so everyday work juz go thru motion;

And hope that in the year of pig, we can finally win toto big big.

Celebrations

Not much of a CNY mood here in Aussie land. Juz realised I didn't post pics of a more widely celebrated event... which took place about 1 month back...

26 Jan, Australia Day.

I was honestly trying to get a pic of their police on horses.

Spot the 16 aircrafts flying past.

The fireworks display lasted 30 mins. Watch until sian.

Speaking of fireworks, on a pathetic Lao Yusheng ( the yusheng was pathetic, i would reserve my comments on the crowd that I Lao-ed with) session last night, I heard from some malaysians that you can actually buy a box of 88 fireworks at RM400 in Malaysia . According to the malaysian, she claims that they are pretty much of the same magnitude of ... the kind of fireworks which we see at events like New Year or National day. I would certainly like to try lighting up fireworks myself one day.

But for now I guess I have to settle for firecrackers and lion dances.

Match Report (aka The Fall of a Titan)

It started off as an innocent gathering among friends to usher in the year of the pig. A bit of new year cheer, a toast to enduring friendship. The gathering started early at a local watering hole close to the party location. Couple of beers down and the early birds made their way to the said location.

Well-wishes greeted the host as the gathering got off to a good start. But fate has a way of creeping up behind you when you least expect it and stick it's bony finger up your arse. As the players starting arriving, the match slowly heated up. The turning point must have been when the first bottle of cognac was emptied into a glass (see below) without the benefit of any accompanying mixer.


The flair of GYLau ensured that there could be no escape from defeat for CSC after the first half. GYLau had obviously made great progress during his short training stint in China. His pacy delivery and aggression virtually guaranteed victory as pictures captured during the half time interval clearly showed.

The remaining players soon realised the possibility of the match being abandoned as indicated by the secret hand signal given by CSC with regards to his feelings about continuing the match. This quickly turned into a reality as all hell broke loose when the mighty titan finally fell (into the toilet bowl).

Soon after the defeat, the mighty titan that was once CSC found solace and comfort in the dressing room, choosing to reflect upon his impending retirement. Many will compare his performance to that of the all-time great Zidane's fall from grace in the recent World Cup.

Nothing much could be done as all were surprised by the swiftness of the fall. Perhaps the intensity of the fall could be best surmised by unused substitute Wayne when quizzed about what he just witnessed, "HA, haha, HAAAAHAAAAA...... ha."

We all salute the falling of a truly great titan and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Also, the players present on the eventful night wish to offer him our sincerest apologies for leaving him in a deck chair by the pool. Bon voyage CSC, your presence in Singapore will be missed.

Something to Think About...

I can't believe this is actually happening... I'll be the first to admit that Science doesn't explain everything, but this is kinda pushing it. And brainwashing kids with this is just...

Not very well shot but better than nothing i guess...

Pilgrim

Like all devouts, I paid a pilgrim visit to home of the best club in the world recently. To note: last picture - looks like someone has moved away from Singapore without dropping a note.
