year of the tiger

how do i know its chinese new year?

  • 95% of shops are closed. (thank god for mustafa!)
  • the people around ang mo kio looked dressed up as though they're in town.
  • my fridge is filled with mandarin oranges my father got from work/neighbours/random places.
  • at 1am as i head to the kitchen for a glass of water, i can hear people playing mahjong.
  • channel 5 is showing Shanghai Knight, the jackie chan movie with fann wong in it, yet again.

to the chinese people, a wonderful year of the tiger to you. and to the rest, happy holidays!
