Chinese New Year shopping...

I haven't done my fair share of CNY shopping yet.. damned. It seemed that every single Chinese person was outdoors yesterday doing their last minute shopping to welcome the Year of the Lao Gao in .. new clothes?
Might as well hold a banana in hand right? But hey, in case its actually apes that eat bananas and monkeys eat other stuff that I haven't heard of...

So.. might as well hold ... palm nut and nut cracker in hand? haha.. does that ring a bell for Muthu?
Ok lah I give up, it came from the latest edition of National geographic magazine (not the walking version).. it has these cute pictures of a MONKEY, brown capulchins (Cebus apella) trying to whack open those palm nuts by raising the nut head high, then slamming it down onto the stony ground. It sure looks very cute/comical/hilarious though.

Sian man.. do tutorials halfway until so bored. Now I'm dreaming the "cai shen ye" or God of Fortune will drop me my AS Roma home jersey somehow during CNY. Oh well.. back to my precious..
