[[Lalala~]]
I happen to come across the article from The Straits Times
Urban dated 27 Jan'05 ....Damn hilarious...its about remaking of CNY in S'pore....Here goes:
1) Remaking HONGBAO (for our parents n married adults)
Let's face it: the most irritating thing abt CNY is having to give ur hard earned $ to annoying chewren who'll probably blow it all on Yu-Gi-oh (jap cartoon series).
This yr, save $ and lives by telling the kids that u've decided to give their hongbao $ to tsunami victims instead. I'm sure they'll understand, if not the little monkeys dun deserve the money anyway.
2) Remaking LION DANCES:
Is it jus me, or do the lion costumes in tradtional chinese lion dances look nothing like actual ones? ot unless they kena the Queer eye for a Straight Guy treatment. How can we call ourselves the lion city with such sissified lions?
Lion dance troupes: when u go ard doing the traditional thing of harassing shopkeepers for handouts, y not use real lions to dance ard their front door, u'll probably get a bigger hongbao for doing that. (My comments: muahahah~)
3) Remaking WAXED MEATS:
Waxed lap cheong (chinese sausage), waxed duck=waxed meat are best sellers at Chinatown ev CNY. But waxing is, like, so 20th C. Y noy use electrolysis or laser? They'll be much better for hair removal techniq. Actually y dun u jus eat those hairy meats? Ee- Yurr... (my comments: GrosS...but i like to eat lap cheong....haha~)
4) Remaking COOKIES:
As part of our healthy lifestyle drive, the gahmen should can ban all the fatty, sugary hi-carb CNY cookies. ppl shud jus eat only atkins-approved bak kwa... (my comments: Oh man...pls dun do tat...I seriously need to gain fat!!!)
5) Remaking THE CHINGAY PARADE:
In keeping with our conservative society, rename it the more family-friendly Chingstraight parade. (Haha...tats funny!)
6) Remaking the FESTIVE ATMOSPHERE:
Somebody cud make alot of $ selling "prosperity headphones"---noise cancelling earplugs tt block annoying sounds like firecrackers, those her sin nian/tong tong qiang type songs...(*lol*), and qns frm relatives abt when u gg to get married/y u haven give birth yet/ how did u get so fat in one yr etc...(my comments: I think ppl will say y i'm as skinny as ever...den y i'm shorter than my sis....blah blah...irritating!!! Can u all say better things like "oh u've grown so chio liao?!" Haa...I dun mind tat....)
7) Remaking YU-SHENG:
Raw fish can b ex...To serve the so-called prosperity yu-sheng salad w/o damagin ur own prosperity...use less fish or buy a cheaper grade one.
Borrow a tip from the Jap: put lotsa wasabi in the yusheng dressing. Ur guests will naturally eat less...unless they wana play thru the nose....(haha)
Ok...tats abt the article...hope u guys enjoy luffing...its a good medicine for stress anyway!!!
Haha~ And ya... Have a great CNY ahead!!!
