Customary Chinese New Year post

Wahey! Seems that Opera solved the haunted blog thingie.

I'm sure many of you have read the news on the government banning fireworks, firecrackers etc. Offenders will be slapped with a RM100 on-the-spot fine. Did that deter any of the Chinese from enjoying a little boom-boom this new year.

Apparently not. I am still greeted with the ungodly booms late at night whilst trying to catch some Z's. Then there is the thunderous train of explosion due to the infamous "hong pau" or red crackers. This is especially important during the lion dances. Nothing demonstrates your wealth to the public like a good 16 feet ending with a nice resounding boom eh ;)

So what's this banning I hear on crackers??!! You can never take the Chinese out of a Chinese. Watch out for Chap Goh Meh or the Hokkien Chinese New Year people. It gets better then.

Happy Prosperous Piggie New Year to all you folks out there <(^@^)> *oink oink*
