お久しぶりですね！ Long time no see! Yeah I realise I have not been updating my blog regularly these days due to the Chinese New Year and I have been busy with other things. Now I decide to sit down and write something about what I've been doing.
Chinese New Year
This year's Chinese New Year is somewhat different from the past. As my grandmother just passed away not long ago, according to the Chinese customs, I'm unable to go to friends' and relatives' house to 拜年 except the relatives from my father's side. Therefore, my 'ang bao' money has really shrunk by a lot. Traditionally speaking, as I have not gone through the tea ceremony for my actual wedding, I'm not considered 'married' but legally speaking, I'm married under the eyes of the law. So this is somewhat confusing.. hehe.. Even I myself is also confused. So this year is somewhat like a 'transitional' year... haha... Cannot give 'ang bao' and unable receive much 'ang bao'. haha.. I feel that this year is macam like the tax laws in Singapore (which people like me must be familiar with)... since some tax laws are implemented with 'transitional years' to adapt to a new system (eg. one-tier corporate tax system). [haha... This is damn funny... CNY is like a tax law? Some crappy thought...]
One Wakin Live Concert
Last Saturday I went to Emil Chau Wakin's ONE WAKIN LIVE Concert with my mum, hubby and future mother-in-law. This was the first time I went to Wakin's concert. It's very different from A-mei's because his targetted fan group is more matured and older... more suitable for those aunties as he's a 师乃杀手! Wakin is a very cheerful singer and likes to crack jokes.. So during the concert, he was really talkative and cracked alot of jokes... Very entertaining.. There was once some kids went up to the stage to perform when he sang 亲亲我的宝贝. When he finished singing he asked each of the kids for their names and started to converse with them. I think he really like kids alot and he's really good at talking with them. His guest for the night was Wynne, a pub singer in Singapore. As Wynne was not a Chinese, Wakin had to use English to converse with him. Wynn sang the song "I don't wanna sleep alone" and Wakin translated the song into Chinese. It's damn funny. An audience uploaded a video on youtube and I suggest you go and watch it here.
I really enjoyed throughout the whole concert and it lasted from 8pm to 12am!! Even longer than A-mei's concerts which I went to in previous years. If you wanna see the pictures, go to my Facebook and take a look. The pics were not that great since I was sitting quite far behind.
Chan Brothers Travel Fair
This afternoon I just went to the Chan Brothers Travel Fair at Suntec CIty Concourse Level 3 to find out more about tours to the USA, particularly Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Me and my hubby have the intention to go there for honeymoon after our wedding dinner. Seriously, from the no of people at the fair, it really does not look like we are having a recession in Singapore! It was really very very crowded and packed. Anyway, we will be going to the NATAS Travel Fair on 27 Feb which will be held at the Expo to find out more about the tour packages from the other travel agents. :)
