A Happy And Prosperous New Year!

Are you happy? Are you prosperous? No worries, the Lunar New Year is here and you will be. With so many people wishing one another you can only "HUAT ah!!!" Soon, it will be goodbye Sam hello Samantha. The tame and timid Rabbit is no more. 

Strange things do happen to people. Bunnies are known for their breeding ability. They hope around, eat and make babies.


The irony is that people just love to have Dragon babies because the zodiac says that the mystical creature has great powers but 
then you look at some Dragon people and you are surprised. You are going to face problem with places in childcare centres, school, etc. There are also very successful, powerful and great people in other zodiac signs too. 


















Are you done and through with your spring cleaning and clearing cobwebs. I wrote about previous new year and clearing cobwebs.

This Dragon year, we may have to tighten up. We may have to prepare for a tough year ahead and if you are my age or somewhere there, you and I would have been through quite a few crises. The problem today is there are not enough phone booths. We need them in strategic locations so that when trouble comes, we looked around and when no one is watching, get into the booth for  quick change and Hey Prestro!


















We shall come out battling and saving the world! What did I tell you about tightening up? Yes in spandex and with the red underwear on the outside.


We have to adjust, adapt or simply survive by taming and riding the dragon like this old man here.


















Have fun meeting relatives and old friends. See how much everyone has grown. Eat all the cookies you want and postpone that health check for awhile.

Deck yourselves out in red and all bright. Give with pleasure.

I wish to share with you the below clip and hope you will enjoy lots of warmth this Lunar New Year. May you and your family be blessed and continue to enjoy the joy of good friends.

I wish all friends and readers a ridiculously fun year ahead! May you and your family be blessed with good health, great wealth and strength. May your life be filled with joy, peace and happiness and may the year ahead be one of abundance!

Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and beverage.
