happy new year to one and all, taking note that this is the Chinese one, and not any other. how interesting that there is a new year for each of the separate cultures in singapore, with the unifying 1st of jan one. how short the new year will be. tomorrow and the day after, or rather today and tomorrow, will be a time of feasting on new year snacks and idling around. too fast the time shall past. and before you know it, the weekend end will have come and back to the school mode of finishing work before school begins yet again on monday. hope the angbao harvest this year will be good, taking into account inflation and the economy, dropping 6% in half a day today, according to my brother whose job includes monitoring market trends daily.
