Loh Sang

In reality, it’s a big, big mess for I guess I had to neatly get a small pile and arrange it nicely just for this pix. I’ve not stopped eating since like 10am…

Happy Moo Moo New Year

No photos worthy of this blog yet — too busy feasting and munching down goodies…

CNY OA Trip

This photo was originally shot with manual settings — I was busy in the church building when I heard the vehicles approaching and didn’t check the setting, resulting a a severe over-exposure. Even a 4-stop pull-processing in Adobe Camera Raw can’t help much but I kinda like the results though!

To welcome the year of the rat!
The Rat (Chinese:鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. The Year of the Rat is associated with the earthly branch symbol 子.

In Chinese, the word 鼠 may refer to either the rat or the mouse. Therefore, in this context, Year of the Mouse and Year of the Rat are interchangeable terms.
