flawed work of art.

today is the 2nd day of cny. normally back home, it would be lion dance day in the chu household. but since I'm 13 & a half hours away, cny is celebrated differently.

early sat morning, armed with a daily travelcard costing 6 pounds plus, I tagged along with brendan & hilary around london to shop. I didn't buy anything in the end though. unlike the 2 s'poreans that were with me. I paid for brendan's puma shoes in advance first though cos' his visa wasn't functioning as it should. which caused him to spray the surrounding people with saliva. brendan's one of those guys who in hilary's own words, 'you know has no ulterior motive in being your friend.' I was disappointed when he said he wasn't gay, cos' his antics prove otherwise.

on the way to chinatown from soho, we thought we were sorta lost, so we asked this chinese man who told us to just go all the way straight. and so we did. I started getting suspicious when we passed by some signs that said 'Sexy Model Upstairs.' as we proceeded, we figured that we were in the middle of a red light district. so with all of our frightened whimpers, we walked swiftly out of the stretch of road emblazoned with neon lights screaming XXX and finally found our way to the red gates of chinatown! hooray!

after much complaints from brendan about him being tired of dragging his shoes everywhere and his craving for siu mai, we stopped at a small shop and thought of just having tea and a snack. BUT, the waiter told us that we have to at least order food worth 5 pounds per person. and so we each had this dim sum special. so, yeah, that turned out to be our reunion dinner. so sad!!! *cries*

oh wells, worse of all, I spent the first day of cny at home, doing homework & studying for my maths test which was just now. I think I did very badly for it. sigh. hope dad & mum don't kill me....

anyways, gong hei fatt choy everyone! though my cny was somewhat like a normal day, I hope yours was much more happier. =)
