Lunar new year. The rants of an ingrate Chinese

An AK-74, best crowd clearance weaponry pity I don't own one....

Like every year I will be returning to my hometown for the new lunar year AKA Chinese new year. The very journey itself is rather perilous due to the high volume of travelers at this time of the year. It can be sometimes equate to the mass migration animals in Africa, at least that’s the case for China. Though that doesn’t mean Malaysia is not without it’s problem.

Travel plans have to sometimes be made 6 months in advance to ensure a smooth journey home at a reasonable price. Though do you know what is the greatest and most horrible thing that one may encounter on such a journey?

  • Nay it is not the canceled flights.
  • Nay it is not the fickel weather that hampers thou’s quest.
  • Nay it is not the sickness that may strike you down!
  • But the horrible thought of sitting next to a crying baby for for the next 3 f**king hours! Given the choice, a car ride through a minefield would be a blessing! At least it is out of your control but with crying babies, one cannot do anything but bear with it! Oh please mighty forces of the void! Do not condemn me to such a horrible fate!

Now I know how Hannibel Lecter felt! The journey back for me, is equate to fighting my way through barrage of idiots! Especially the nitwits who do not know how to calm their babies!

So how long will I be there? A week. No doubt it would be nothing except meaningless visits to relatives whose names I don’t even bother to remember because of how insignificant they are to the schemes of things except for themselves. Almost all of them cannot remember mine as well so it evens out.

For my chinese compatriots,  I wish you a safe journey home. Especially my friends from my last companies Runge, Intel and Agilent. This is the time of the year I dread most, the journey back……

For the pass few weeks, its been raining sometimes for the whole day which is why I haven’t done any outdoor photography for a long time now.

Though that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything at all.  Instead I’m taking it as an opportunity  to brush up and clear out the backlog of figure shoots that’s been slowly increasing. So I figured let’s try something different and shoot a posable figure this time.

Happy New Year 2011!

Good bye 2010! You were such a lousy prick and I hope to never see you again! Well maybe in the obituary but we’ll save that for another day~~~.

Yeah! Like Alice here let’s all hope for a better year and etc as we travel down a VERY dark rabbit hole into the year of the Rabbit though technically it won’t be the year of the rabbit til Chinese New Year but technical-smenical.

Instead of making resolutions we will never keep (you all know what I am talking about.) I think we instead make a list of things we look forward to

1. Going to Bangkok again this year

2. Going to Super GT 2011 againa

3. Going to Singapore again for AFA

But like always, we should also make a list of things we don’t look forward in the new year to come.

1. Dealing with life

2. Malaysian way of life which is crappy

3. Dealing with everything else. Boo whoo…

So anyway, Happy new year!
