A matter of colours

It all started with some email that floated around in early Dec 10 that advices "by zodiac signs" what colour is recommended for the 1st day of the CNY. Mine was suppose to be WHITE but somehow, my white shirt that was sent for washing, was stained with some black spots that could not be removed. So the nearest to a white was a light pale greenish shirt for the day (the closest to white). WRONG Decision !!! :( It started off with Clarissa-Anne exclaiming .... "Bus Driver !!!" (Count on the CNN to start the broadcast !!!). After the traditional ritual of the family photograph at home, it was off to the TJOENG annual 1st day of CNY gathering. (That really made my day !!!) Helpful brothers & sisters-in-laws rubbed in even further, asking for discount for EZ-link card, special detour for their bus route and the usual request ... "to hold the bus" ..... Every bus that went by Old Airport Road invited attention and more comments. Guess they must have bottled up all their lines and waited for this day. The final TJOENG Family shot was taken with BLK 99, Old Airport Road in the background ..... the venue where the 2nd generation TJOENG grew up. The cameraman (Aaron-James) was busy getting the correct angle for the annual shot whilst the rest of the cousins were happily running amok in front of the friendly Neighbourhood Police Post. All the policemen could do was to walk by quietly, pretending that they didn't see this mob gathering in front of their post on the first day of the RABBIT YEAR.

Of course, it didn't end there. At Godparent's place, the CNN started the ball rolling and the SBS ritual lasted the night through. So much for the furry little hairy RABBIT ..... It keeps hopping around to remind everyone of its presence and the "theme of the day" .... KONG SI FATT CHAI !!!
