Its The End To That Time of Year
yep people, its the end to that time of year. and i mean Christmas and Chinese New Year (Lunar Festival to you overseas readers, i mean, i hope i have readers from across the seas... or...even readers at all =S ) so anyway, Its the end to that time of year, or yearS since christmas and cny spans across 2 years when combined...yeah... SO ANYWAY its the end to that time of year, and to me, its generally a good thing, because the end of these 2 seasons would also mean the end of the "artistic embargo", wheter in the fields of music, performances and decor.
these 2 seasons had completely killed any variations of artistic expressions; every musical note seemed to sink back to the millenia-old tunes sung by my great grandfather's uncle's wife, and was taught to them by their great grand father's step dad's brother who was a composer, who learnt his basics from another musical master 2 generations older. personally, i have no problems with such ancient melody, but to my own belief, ancient music should be played using, ancient instruments. todays christmas carols, like, "12 days of christmas" are played using synthesizers, electronic keyboards/organs and even a turntable. electric guitars are cool for songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" but its a no no for "Silent Night". Santa Clause would fall of his sledge and smack face first into a chimney if he ever flew across the modern skies of today.
the BASS is what gets to you the most when it comes to christmas and lunar polkas. DUM tsk DUM tsk DUM tsk DUM tsk....then a song switch DUM DUM tsk DUM DUM tsk DUM DUM tsk...you get the idea.
imagine - snow covered christmas tree = appealing....zoom out with the focus alittle, burning hot highways with traffic jams like no other = not appleaing, quite the opposite infact.
yep, christmas isnt for some countries, those too close to the equator for a start.
back to the temporary death of variety. aside from the things you hear, the human brain is constantly stimulated because of the overwhelming shades of red (for cny, green for christmas). red packet, red lantern, red decors, red clothes...anything you can think of is smeared in what looks like chicken blood. "this time of year celebrates prosperity and financial boom", what they meant was "you can get alot of money from your health insurance that covers hearing ailments, eye defects and chronic boredom".
admidst the nothingness, i fell into a series of deep thoughts, almost to a state of trance. and there lay the question "was cny ever fun at all?" and a deep sounding voice, so full of bass it blows women's clothes off, abit like a cross of Luciano Pavaroti, Elvis Presly and the guy who sang that song who mentions the green-ness of trees and and reds of rose. well anyway, he said.... " uyes...."
what was the question again? yeah right, did i ever had fun? yeah...the man said yes. and then i asked............."how?"
simple. 2 words - "fire crackers".
again this reflects the lack of common sense among the people of this country. some people would buy firecrackers, and read the label
"CAUTION|WARNING|ACHTUNG": flammable, keep out of reach of children, use as instructed: light fuse, run away".
somehow, is JUST DIDNT GET TO tHEIR ASSES (assuming thats where their brains are). their feeble asses would read the above label as
"unroll tube, pour out grey pixie power inside, put pixie powder into big big metal tube, press pixie with another metal tube to tight tight it, repeat 100 times with more pixie powder everytime, light fuse, hold in hand. Big big tube = more fun fun, yay, gg"
usually the "fun" is prematurely ended at about.. "repeat 100 times with more pixie powder".
instead of educating their people even more, the government did what people did best..point the finger and blame. not at the people who made firecrackers for a living, not the people who misread labels, and definately not the people who wrote the labels themselves, they blamed "T3H F1r3Ckr4k3R". thus banned it.
HECK IT ISNT EVEN THEIR ETHIC GROUPS CELEBRATION!
oh boy i remembered the fun i had when firecrackers were still legit...
legit, that brings me on to the next point...at this time of year, i really hate to go visit the houses of my friends. this i admit, its just me... because the moms and dads of my peeps would hand me redpackets that contain cold hard cash. i dont even know them =/ i feel somewhat disgusted of myself. its asif im there for the jingaling. i know i know its been practiced for generations for centuries.
some say its honouring the tradition, id say its legitimized extortion. carried out by us unmarried-teenagers and below.
so...where do you live again? *evil grin*
