i had never been to any countdown party
during new year
usually spend the new year
quietly at home
*
this year is kind of different
mom went for a wedding dinner
me and dad went for
our fav wanton mee and fried oyster
at Bunga Raya
*
actually we had already planned
the journey ahead in the afternoon
we had targeted a pair of horses
at this exhibition at Ming Xin
but we had not officially walked in
we were discussing about the price
*
actually we are kind of sick
of all these exhibitions
the sellers always price the items at
ridiculous prices
and pretended to give discount
then they ask you back,
how much you are willing to pay
*
looking back at
a few of our loots at home
we discover that
we had paid far too much
than what the items worth for
*
so we just decide stop going anymore
see nothing
then we shall buy nothing
*
this time round,
we are smarter then
contacted an old friend
he is one of my dad’s gang
in stuffs like that
he already bought quite a lot
from here
*
so let him get a price quotation
from the seller
then we went
it so happened that
he was there as well
last night
*
finally the price went down
to what we are willing to pay for
and there we got a pair of horses
*
i was sitting at the back seats
with them
protecting them all the way
then showered them outside
before bringing them
into the house
*
welcome home
today dad had preened them
with red ribbons
and name them
吉祥 n 如意
he even discovered
a way to differentiate them
*
with them
our gods at home
can travel to anywhere
whenever they want to
