Happy Lunar New Year !!!!!!!

To all of you, Happy Lunar New Year !!!!!!!

Havn't gotten back my Kohjinsha yet, am currently using the HP 2133 from Starhub... not so good, but can do...

Browse thru' some of my students' blogs, realised some of the concerns which they are unwilling to say in class, or not showing in emotions... Its a good thing they are able to express out, or even vent out their inner emotions thru' blogs... of course this is their side of the story, but again, what I wanted to know is their own feelings... not who is in the right or wrong... I mean, definitely they feel they are right, no matter what you tell them...

Last night is 小年夜, or Little Lunar New Year Eve, ie. the day before Lunar New Year Eve as known in folk tradition. Another (more correct) definition for 小年夜 is the 24th day of the 12th Lunar month. Anyway, as tradition, went down with my mum to the wet market besides my house last night (actually past midnight liao, not really the 小年夜....). Its a bit late, so did not see so much people at the wet market like last year. But still, can you imagine, market stalls still open at 12 plus midnight? People still buying fish, fruits, etc... Mum needed to get some vegetables, and lime... There's even a dim sum stall in the hawker centre besides the market that is still open! Went over to buy some supper, haha... Quite fun to see the market still open in midnight... only once a year such scene will happen...
