Chinese New Year has always been fun, every single year. Its like, everything's in a rush and people are rushing here and there, cars rushing here and there and money too, rushing, really really fast out of pockets.

Preparation, for my family, has always been grand. I'll be climbing up and down the ladder, hanging decorative pieces, like the lanterns and what not.

Its always the eve of the celebration thats so exciting. Everythings washed and polished to their maximum gleam. These are hard, manual, labour. But it pays off by making me smile when I see all is done and time to usher in the 'God of Prosperity' by playing fireworks and crackers.

I slept at around 2.30am that Chinese New Year morning. Tired but satisfied.
