Dang, this years CNY was really dull. i didn't even have the chance to go visiting properly. for some reason, most people i know seem to be in a real sombre. i guess its the aftermath of the results. we really had high hopes and it was all screwed at the end.. many of us are in a real tight spot.. only a few choices were available and most ended up doing a degree totally off-course their original plans. i was one of the lucky ones. i just touched my entry requirements. and i was supposed to be an excellent student. but i say that when life laughs at you, you laugh at something else.. below is the funniest thing i have ever seen.. enjoy!!!

it is really fun to see people running around... the look on the dudes smoking is priceless... enjoy!!!

Indian Style Chicken Curry
