			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy chinese new year people! </p>
<p>I hope you&#8217;re enjoying yourself, and getting <em>ang pows</em> and the like and generally having fun. </p>
<p>For me, though, it feels as though it&#8217;s been forever since I&#8217;ve celebrated Chinese New Year. Which it sort of is, seeing as CNY was a year ago. Not to mention that it also falls on Valentine&#8217;s Day this time, which brings back strange memories for me.</p>
<p>Like&#8230; Packet drinks. For some sort of strange reason, it makes me think of a time back when I was 14, crushing madly on a boy who made me laugh and was pretty darn cute, and that one time I was invited to a mutual friend&#8217;s birthday party. </p>
<p>I remember being shy and drinking packets of Yeo&#8217;s and sitting down in a corner, embarrassed (for what I have no friggin&#8217; idea, but probably just blushing simply because he was there (= ~ =). I remember the strange dare my crush was forced to do (which just wants to make me laugh because it involved me and strange proposals &#8211; I swear, they made him do it purposely!) and I would have said we were drunk, but we only had lame non-alcoholic drinks, so no serious rule-breaking or stuff.</p>
<p>I remember a Valentine&#8217;s eve years ago, when I was fresh out on my first ever date and once again, yep, blushing wildly at the thought of being out with my crush. I don&#8217;t know if it was ever a date to him, but it sure was one to me! And, embarrassingly enough, I&#8217;ve never been on another date with another boy since. </p>
<p>Guess I just haven&#8217;t opened my heart up to anyone else. Don&#8217;t feel much like it either, especially since I&#8217;d much rather focus on my studies and not freak out about getting my heart crushed or stuff like that. Plus, I&#8217;m not very brave. That rollercoaster ride of emotions that will surely come along&#8230; Nah. I&#8217;d leave it to the bravehearted.  </p>
<p>Chinese New Year was also a much more happier event last year. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happened, but there just doesn&#8217;t seem to be a festive mood for this season. Recession, perhaps. Or maybe no one&#8217;s in the mood at all. I&#8217;m not too sure. It&#8217;s pretty weird, though. </p>
<p>And thus I&#8217;ll end off my strange reminisces, and hope your day is much better than mine! </p>
