sparks off

I would love to show the full 1 minute fireworks but the file size will be gigantic.

And it was such a disappointment that the sound got removed by Windows Live Movie Maker.

Kelvin took it on the 4th night of CNY, right below my block. Everyone was just firing fireworks into the sky to welcome the arrival of the God of Fortune once it strikes midnight.

It was a lovely sight on the highway when we cab home. Fireworks shooting up everywhere at our eye level.

Something that we won’t get to experience in Singapore.

the red wine, the puke, the drip

Posted on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 at 5:24 pm

On the 2nd day of CNY, I had lunch with my distant relatives. A group of people whom my parents probably have not met before as well.

I drank a little too much – bottoms up 4 glasses of red wine.

And I started puking all over when I left the restaurant. I wasn’t that drunk as I could bring myself to the toilet and I did remember that I have a train to catch in the evening.

So, I tried very hard to keep myself sober, packed my luggage and insisted on taking the train.

Thankfully, I made it to the station on time though i was feeling really terrible.

Somehow, I felt so stressful, lonely and disappointed in myself when I stood by the platform.

It was cold and as the chilly wind blew against me, I broke down into tears but I managed to calm myself down just before the train stopped in front of me.

During the train journey, I felt so nausea and puked twice – there wasn’t anything left to puke and therefore, it was my gastric juices.

At that moment, I knew I wasn’t drunk. I supposed I had gastric flu.

I pulled myself together and endured till Shanghai. Luckily, I got a friend to pick me up from the train station and drove me to the hospital.

And there, I got my fair share of the drip. 2 bottles.

I needed to recover in the fastest time possible. To be able to spend time with Kelvin. =)

local CNY

What do I do in Wen Zhou for CNY? eat, watch tv, sleep, eat, watch tv, sleep.

Practically a weight-gain program.

It’s kinda boring…. except for the fireworks and the huge red packets I received. =p

Last night, we went out to get the fireworks for the strike of midnight.

This cart of fireworks cost around $700.
