[elixirdream]

8 glasses of wine

puke because of orange juice and guava

verdict : acidic

 

[mrfatso]

haha, who asked you do that combination

but then again, i will probably do that myself since i don like the bitter taste of beer/wine/alcohol in general.

Maybe even mixed it with coca cola

 

[elixirdream]

no choice
the service was not good
normally, we get refill of tea in a fast pace but not yesterday's wedding
anyway... 8 glasses of wine FTW!!!!

 

[mrfatso]

haha,

For me, it would more like 10 glass of sprite + F&N Orange combo ftw is what i wanted to say, but everytime i asked them to give me half half, they always look at me funny

So, it's more like just 10 glasses of sprite.

 

[elixirdream]

thats mere killing

anyway, i might play some DQ6 for today

now i need to do some cleaning

 

[outgum]

CLEANING!? WHO CLEANS THESE DAYS! LIVE IN FILTH, LIVE IN FILTH, LIVE IN FILTH!

 

[mrfatso]

@outgum: well, it's a chinese tradition, do some cleaning a week or 2 before the new year, it's to so-called sweep away all your bad luck/misfortune.

Also, during CNY, we usually hide the broom somewhere and not do any cleaning since superstition says that if we do any cleaning during this period, we might sweep away good luck or heck, the god of prosperity.

Also, welcome to the thread.

@elixir: i know that, but you know with my medical condition and all, cant really drink too much sugary water.

 

[outgum]

whats the medical condition, if its ADHD me too

no sugar/cafine based things for me, i do it anyway,

...... wasnt it new years like a month ago?......
But i do like chinese tradition, like just the way it is

 

[elixirdream]

outgum,
for chinese we celebrate the lunar new year aka first day of spring
thats like 2 weeks from now
the first day falls on the 14th

 

[outgum]

Is it just to be different? or is there a specific reason for it? i would like to hear why

 

[elixirdream]

Is not chinese wish to be different. The same would apply to korean and japanese (however, they now celebrates the first day of the year as their new year).

We started to celebrate spring festival back thousands years ago

one of the main the reason chinese celebrates the first day of spring would be the following:-
our ancestors are mostly farmers. They start harvesting from autumn and rest during winter. When spring arrives they view it as new beginning or sign of new life. Spring is also when they start going back to their farm.

----

Of course there are many variations of the story
but i think the above version would fit the purpose of why chinese celebrates the first day of spring.

----

In lunar calendar, we mark first day of the spring as the first day of the year. Each year's lunar new year will fall between end of january to mid of february

[mrfatso]

Oo, thanks for the info, i wasnt really sure about the origin of chinese new year myself, other than it represent something related to the chinese lunar calender.

whats the medical condition, if its ADHD me too

no sugar/cafine based things for me, i do it anyway,

...... wasnt it new years like a month ago?......
But i do like chinese tradition, like just the way it is

nah, just diabetics

 

[elixirdream]

you are welcome always....

i think most of us would think we celebrate CNY because of the defeat of a monster

 

[mrfatso]

O ya, that's was the story told to us by my primary school teacher.

And that was also the reason why firecrackers were to be played on that festival, just too bad someone deem it too dangerous so it was outlawed.

 

[elixirdream]

trust me.... thats not only happen in SG but in many parts of the world
damn....

it was really nice to have firecrackers when i was young
too bad ipikachu would not know whats firecracker

LID and RUN!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrfatso]

ya, i mean i don blame her, i myself have no idea about firecrackers other than know what they look like from documentaries.

 

[elixirdream]

Aiks...
well some of us still lid the firecrackers when we go ching ming

its illegal but who cares

~

 

[mrfatso]

haha, what do you guys do on ching ming anyway? Never had the privilege of experiencing that day.

Speaking of illegal stuff, i remember back then, we could go to any shop and buy a bomb bag for 20 cents, but thanks to those fktards terrorist, it was deemed too scary to have a bomb bag anywhere and now they are banned...

Stupid fkers...
