Before the celebrations begin, I had a tough time goin' out shopping for new clothes for this festival. There was hardly any clothes that caught my eye. Made a number of fruitless shopping trips until the very day before the eve of CNY. Thanks to my great buds', I finally got a casual long sleeve shirt from P.O.A.
Despite all the hype and preparations for this festival, somehow deep down inside, I don't feel the excitement this year. I guess it's because of all the work we all are having now. National service, work, further studies, etc. All these somehow drifted us apart from the joyous season. Missed the fun and trips made to go to friends' house. All these past efforts seemed history now that everyone's schedule are different and hard to accomodate.
Receiving red packets aren't what I'm looking forward to now. It's the quality time spent with friends and family that is so much more important. Therefore, I'm really looking forward to the MIT0218 gathering this 4th Feb! Hope all the 'nonsense' will be back to fill the emptiness of this festival inside me. Haha...
But what really delighted me this festive season is surprisingly not local. It's from the world of football! Guess what! My favourite football idol is back where he belongs!
ROBBIE FOWLER IS BACK TO LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB!!!
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO~! The best red 'packet' (ang pao) I've ever received my entire life from the Reds of Merseyside, Liverpool! The best gift ever!
Robbie 'GOD' Fowler has returned to Liverpool Football Club on the eve of the Lunar New Year! You must say this is the best and greatest red 'packet' from the Reds ever!
After 5 years of disappearance from wearing the red, he has now returned to where he truly belongs. Despite the drop in form in recent years due to the lack of fitness and injuries, I believe his thirst and passion to play for the Reds will bring out the best in him.
Good things come in threes. Now we have Fowler back in the squad, we have 3 senior Scousers we can be proud of to lead, and carry on the tradition of the Red Machine. Fowler's presence will help to lift some burden and pressure off a pair of tired Gerrard and Carragher to inspire the rest of the lads.
I say...,"LET THE CELEBRATIONS BEGIN! LET THE FLOODGATES OPEN!"
HAHAHA!!!
Oops... Sorry for those uninterested in football. But what da heck?! This is my best CNY ang pao! Best news of this festive season! The most shocking news in the football world now! Every single Liverpudlian is celebrating! And why not?!
Once again...
Once again...
HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!
