Fireworks

Last night's fireworks were the best I have had ever seen..best like,there was a continuous display of fireworks" coming into" my air space from Pujut 4. About 15 minutes before midnight,the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks already started. The surrounding area sounded as if it was it was in a war-torn area especially when the mothers or fathers of all crackers sounded like bombs. My mind quickly wandered to Iraq where the people are constantly hearing the explosions of bombs. Thank goodness that here, it's only during Chinese New Year that we get to hear the 'EXPLOSIONS'.
Watching the fireworks from my balcony,I saw the changing skyline from colourful to smoky. Millions of ringgits must have been burnt into making the sky as it was like night..colourful & smoky. My immediate neighbours even though 2 own supermarkets,one owns a goldsmith shop & the other one owns a famous photo studio did not even light a sparkler...so lokek one!(stingy)



This morning as it is already a habit,having breakfast at home is like not having breakfast at all. So we went looking for coffeshops that were opened and found a few coffeshops at Pelita commercial Centre were opened including QQ. We had roti canai at the mamak's kopi shop near Pelita Hai Ma. It's good once in a while to eat at a mamak's kedai kopi. The place was packed and quite a lot of Chinese were seen eating there. Infact,mamak's kedai kopi now are popular with the Chinese except the Ibans have not quite acquired the taste for mamak's food. After breakfast we went to Pujut corner market to get some pork. Years ago,it was hard to find pork on CNY because only the Chinese sold pork then but not so,now. We have Iban & Orang Ulu butchers selling pork now.
I have to go now........Kongsi Fa Cai..Kong Hee Fatt Choy!
