chap goh mei


Well, today is the 15th day for Chinese New Year, which is the last day of celebration. After today, everything will be get to normal again. No more at home small-scale gambling. lol.. no more extra "income" for those unmarried. etc..
There is another special event on the 15th of Chinese New Year. It's the day where you can know the other half. On today, a lot of singles, bachelors, will go to pond.. or somewhere where there's water, wrote something on the mandarin orange, (basically just your contact number, and probably your name, I am not so sure about that, haven't done that in my life), and throw that in the river/pond... then hopefully someone will pick it up and maybe return a call to you? lol

Well, that reminds me of going to Taman Jaya, PJ.. heard of this practice long long time ago, but never ever been there to witness it. So today, after having my dinner, me and my buddy, drove there to see what's going on. So.. just a bunch of guys and girls... girls threw the mandarin orange with some of their details on it, and guys.. ready with fish net or anything that look like net.. trying to get the girls contact number.. and hey, most of them are so young.. I find myself to be old, in their midst.. lol..
So, I snapped some photos quickly, and chow.. hmm... maybe next year I should come with a boat, you know.. so that those that threw the mandarin orange into the middle of the pond, I will be able to get them... it was an enjoyable night, even though I was there for only 10 mins.... haha..
