Chap Goh Mei Special

Yeah, it was the last day of Chinese New Year last night and I took some incredible pictures thanks to my neighbour who blew up tons of fireworks right above my head.

But of course, I mentioned about how Kuching works with its fireworks already so today I got something different. SEE this from the star newspaper

The Ang moh's Valentines day is to buy overpriced roses and chocolate, but the Chinese's version is relatively economical. All you need to do is buy an orange, write down your name, phone number and toss it into the lake. Whoever intrested in meeting ups will then pick up the orange and eat it.


So guessed what I did...

I thought it would be fun doing it because of what I read in the papers UNTIL I reached Kuching Waterfront where our river lies. The whole place was.....

And I was....

I was actually so naive to believe that Kuching people would actually spend time to throw oranges with their numbers and names into the river and took a hook to catch the oranges back only to call someone they don't know out of the blue to prove that they are desperate for love they would do anything.

In short, nothing happened la, no cha bohs, no chicks, no yeng zhai, no nothing la. The only attraction there are those Indians trying to sell homemade viagra call "Gambir Sarawak".


Anyway, I had a long walk along the waterfront and I consider that good excercise, I did throw 2 oranges after all. If anyone happens to grab it, I advise you to just peel it off and eat :S



With all due best wishes for the rest of the year ahead, let's live a great 2007 together

Happy Chap Goh Mei guys.....
