Happy belated birthday Nadia, which was on the 5th.

It sure has been a roller coaster week for me. Work has been extremely tiring, and frustrating, especially when obnoxious drunks come into the store at closing, demanding to play Daytona. When i refused, they tipped over my bucket of mopping...There is a stain under the pinball machine to mark this particular event.

Chinese New Year has been pretty cool. Red packets, and all these lion dances. Boom, ba-boom. The drum beats are so mesmerising, and the firecrackers are deafening. The best one was at Old Shanghai on Sat, where my sister's bf was in. I heard it was good luck to pull off the lion's fur when they are performing, so i mingled with the crowd, and - *grabs, pull* Yah, and i yanked myself some gold fur.

There was like a Men's breakfast at church on Sat morning. Open to all men, and i'm a man, so i joined in. It was a barbecue, and payment was by donation. Regardless, i ate SO much. I had TWO huge plates, filling it up with four different types of sausages, bacon, buns and egg. The fattiest breakfast i have ever had, and by the end of it, i was rolling around on the ground, unable to sit up. As a result, i was able to go pass lunch and dinner with that one meal. But i still had two ice creams - Bacio and Jamaican Chocolate. I like chocolate....
