Trying out something new this Christmas.

So here I am, sitting at my kitchen with my cup of coffee and enjoying this new year wind that has been blowing lovingly at my face. Now, the thing about Christmas this year, I haven't really been much into the whole Christmas mood this year, partly cause the lack of work being offered during Christmas and there's been too many ups and downs this month itself, giving me too many to bother about than to rest beliefs at the fat old man in red.

Anywho, yesterday was pretty fun for a countdown. Elton and I went to Portuguese Settlement and got ourselves these as our very own Christmas gift.

Le me derp face and zee foxxie spirit hood

Our very first spirit hood, albeit not as classy and great as the original but it's cute enough, so who cares? :D

It's really cheap per se, and we actually got it by chance. We were loafing around behind the booth without actually noticing what they were selling until when we decide to hunt for food, that was when we got a real good glance at the shop around there. Then it was also by chance we met my friend who was working at that booth, helping the lady boss to sell these stuff. After some negotiation (haggling) we've finally come to terms that the hoodie is to be purchased at RM13 a-piece, so I got two of them! A brown fox for myself and an arctic fox for Elton as a Christmas gift.

So instead of the conforming Santa Hat, we got ourselves these instead. :3

Apart from that, we also got ourselves these!

Kong Ming Lanterns!!!

Yes, those were the exact lantern that we lighted up that night. Kong Ming lantern is traditionally used by the Chinese to make a wish and send it to the heaven so that the gods may hear/read as some may write their wish upon the lantern and hence the gods will grant them. The higher your lantern flies, the sooner your wish will come true. And then, of course, there are some of the tragic wishes that never came true. The ones that burn midway up in the air, or those that failed to fly. Sadly I've no opportunity to snap those that didn't work or were ended up in a blaze. It was sad, but hilarious at the same time. And then, there were a bunch of Indians trying to light these lanterns. The fun part about these Indians, instead of waiting for the balloon to heat up and fly (It's a damn hot air balloon you moron!!) they lighted the firestarter beneath the lantern and when they felt just about right, yanked and tossed the lantern into the air. I watched the poor lantern being dramatically tossed into the air, fall onto the ground and burn into ashes, thanks to those machas. It was really comical and relatively stupid of them. XD

Anywho, I wished for the few usual stuff. Money, love and peace. (Hey, I'm a Chinese, sue me!)

And of course, here's to wishing all of you readers a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year. =)
