Small Talk
The Chinese are back to work this week, or rather gamble in the office

Back with a pow, ang pow, hung pow, or rather Kung Pow?? Well, it seems the title is a bit misleading, well for starters I am still in the Chinese New Year mood and what a way to like celebrate this New Year with a kick at the cow/bull/ox luck to bring me good fortune and health and errr… a new camera body and also happiness.

Yes, been in a lot of complicated things these few days and I guessed it shouldn’t be an excuse for me being absent in the blogosphere. Hmm.. that’ll be 2 weeks. Thus I have to make do with loss times and what better day to do it then today. Oh a few days back before the whole auspicious Chinese New Year day arrived, I had to listen to Chinese Orchestra. Well, then perhaps my eyes was fixed to a certain player there. Hehehe…

Well, red border for the mood. So there are 5 of them but which one caught my eye. Let’s narrow it down to 2 of them.

So which one? By the way, no prize will be given for those who guessed correctly. Besides this isn’t even a competition. Yes, the sound of the chinese orchestra. Oh by the way, who can identify the 2 instruments they are playing. I only know one of them. The only thing though that will be missing is if someone doesn’t learn to play the instruments, in the coming future, there will be no more of these musicians. Okay, enough of the orchestra feel but officially I haven’t actually welcomed the visitors of Weird Weird Denial officially with a proper welcome. Yup, the previous one was just a super short summary and felt it wouldn’t be more of a post.

Somehow I don’t really know if this is the year of the Bull, Ox or Cow since the chinese pronounciation is ‘niu’ 牛 which can also mean COW. I thought why not do something different every year and since this is the year of the Ox/Bull/Cow year, I need to find a cow to pose with. Though most of them usually ended up on the butcher’s table. Pretty darn hard to find one live cow in the city.

Hopefully though that I don’t go running into one of those cows that suddenly wanted to fight me, that I have to give my best to stay alive.

The Mark of Year 2009 – The Day Daniel Kicks The Cow To Get His ‘Ong‘.  Now what more can I say, I felt this year, lesser Ang Pows (economy bad), more questions and queries from relatives regarding ‘when you gonna get married and give angpow’ and more sleep required. Chinese New Year is much more special this year though, cause I finally got myself something to wear this year. Would like to look more traditional and this is the only piece I got.

Once again, wished everyone here A Happy Chinese New Year 2009, get your Ang Pows, Health, Wealth and Prosperity. So I am signing off, with a Gong Hei Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!!

My hair was done on purpose to look traditional. Duh…..

Year 2008 has been a very queer and weird year for me. In this year, I’ve practically left the comfort of my 3 years of working in the same company and then without realizing has been in 3 different companies until I stayed where I am now. It was also the year that I decided that I should start being more and more adventurous.

Thus approaching the middle of the year around April to June 2008, a few activities were lined up and I am glad I did. Yes, I know people don’t call me weird for a reason.

One of the most important history was that I climbed the highest mountain in South East Asia at Mount Kinabalu. By doing so I am on top of all he clouds. The only thing I regretted was how slow I climbed up to reach the peak. The sun’s up too. Now wasted, no sunrise photo from me. Well, something which I might be thinking of more in the future.

It was also the first time, I am glad to have able to gathered a few people to go on a trip to Redang Island practically with a group of bloggers from the chatbox ShoutOutLounge. To think that I’ve only got to know most of them on July 2007 and by 2008 a trip to Redang Island was made possible.

To think it all began from a chatbox, I must say it really does augur to me well that more trips to be looked upon. Well, I guessed that’s all the trip I could cover due to the unavailability of leaves during the year 2008.

But back then during January 2008, I remembered that I had created a sort of a crazy and weird kind of a resolution which was to be a celebrity blogger just like Kenny Sia. Yup, it was one heck of a crazy idea but well, about the outcome, hmmm.. not as close at all.

Now, how can I not forget this dream, but boy, I look like an amateur blogger with no sense of blogging at all. Well, I must say I have a lot to learn to even bother to know how to serve the readers and bloggers out there. But just in case you know, I ain’t no Kenny Sia because each person has their own blogging style. I am what I am, Weird Weird Denial.

To think it all began so funnily, I must say, the year 2008 has also brought upon more photos of me posing with my signature pose ever since I started my style of posing. People always say smile at the camera, I always say, Look Cool at the camera. Don’t believe me, you can try it the next time. (of course, in due time, those poses are very rare due to influences by certain people who made me pose in a cuter way…. )

Yes, signature pose of this flies way back to Year 2006 I supposed when I first gave the public a glimpse of this blogger name Daniel Chew or more known as danielctw but now looking back at how my blog has changed its course of direction really baffles me. People change don’t they, well, I hope I changed for the better though. Ahhh… now, those shades were gone though, broke it in Redang Island. Dang…

Now what about this year, I guessed instead of being long winded, I can summarized what I am aiming for (blindlessly) with these photos.

Last But Not Least……… I am going for this….. ultimate new year 2009….
Wa Tahhhhhhh~~~~~~

I was a Bruce Lee fanatic during my primary school years, so many more months to come. Wonder how will the people responses be if I were to appear like that. Hahaha with all three combined..

By the way welcome year 2009 and may this year be the year I finally learnt my lesson. May this year 2009 also brings me what other adventures that will be.
