Cant sleep......so just thought I blog a little till I get sleepy. Well so far chinese new year has been relaxing. Well its not really fun even though I enjoyed it so far. It just feel like every other year lo. Like the usual reunion dinner on the 6th. This year is at the One World, 1 utama. Its the normal 8 dish banquet though this year's dinner is slightly better compared to the previous ones.

One World Hotel

The fountain in the middle of the hotel

Me and my cousin can never sit still. So we travel about to see around.....

This is an open beautiful open area of the hotel. Just trees and water around the garden like place. Has that zen feeling about it. A nice place to just hang out with friends and chill.

Fresh fish straight from the waters was my favourites.This one is really good. But the thing is the poor sea horse has to be sacrificed for it.

Its not edible. It just to give some flavor to the soup. Although its good for health, if I had a choice I'll rather not take this meal on the menu cuz the amount of seahorses left in the world are limited. And its not even edible.....wasting its life only just to give us that 1o minutes of tastebud stimulus is rather sad. Boycotting sea horse sup now.....

This wan I'm not boycotting :P got more then enough in the sea adi. So eating it is my duty to make sure the biological balance in the sea is maintained. yeap yeap......

opened 2 bottles of white wine. Both of it are really good. This one is more oaky than the other.

Bleh it tasted somewhat the same wan actually. Just a little different oni. But I prefered this in the end. Its less oaky but more acidic. Suitable for eating with red meat:)

On the first day of cny, I did the normal drills. Wake up early, bathe then go serve tea to my parents for my angpows, then go visit relatives(collect even more incomes :P) etc etc......CNY this year is somewhat dull. There was no fireworks on the first day itself. I can literally sleep on the roads of kl, pj and damansara. Its so silent. Well yea, everyone would have balik kampung. That explained the empty roads. But no fireworks?? On the first day itself?? Usually when the clock strikes 12 you'll hear the high pitch sounds of rockets and the popping noises of the firecrackers. This year its so quiet. Think the chinese are scared the noises from the firecrackers will scare the rats out of their houses kua?? :P

Nonetheless, me and my cousins will always find ways to spice things up with the standard boring fireworks. Today itself we've created:

1. ORANGE BOMB------We basically stuff the mancis type of firecrackers into the orange then let its blow up into a pulp. Fast way to get orange juice :) The stunt of lighting the firecracker would require great skills(me) and a shield(to block the orange bits from bombarding ur face).
2. ORANGE ROCKET---Think you can figure this out la. Its just stuffing the rocket type firecracker into the orange and see it fly sky high. We started out with just 1 orange, 1 rocket. This one proved that Newton's law on gravity is indisputable. The OR just fired up but remained static on the platform and burst. The first thing that came to me was "Houston, we have a problem". SO... we took a smaller orange(like 1 1/2 times bigger than a limau) and to make sure there will be enough lift to go up, we mount 2 more rockets at the back :) However despite the perfectly engineered prototype, it didnt really gain much lift(flu like less then 1 meter oni). But it did managed to bring in the orange rain :)
3. ALTERNATIVES-----Me and my cousin was drinking beer when we played this. We had like 3 types of firecrackers(thanks to the stupid people who dunno how to play them properly). 1 of them are the sparklers which is basically insignificant to us(we just use them as torches to light up the other fireworks), mancis types and rocket types. Not much combinations left. So we thought we called it a day but as we cleaned up, both of us was staring at the empty beer can.So yea...y not blow it up. Its gonna be disposed pretty soon regardless of its condition anyways. So yea, now we have 2 more versions of the orange rockets and bombs :P Sadly this 1 is too heavy to bring it the rain of booze.....

Well that about it so far. Will be going to Seremban today in the next 3 hours then to Genting on saturday and sunday then uni will start on monday adi. Haiz.....Time to start back studying. Ish........Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fai Chai to everyone :)
