Actually, you do not have to pay through your nose to get some lion dancers to come to your house (…and scare the living daylights out of the kids…like KNB! ROTFLMAO!!!) in the hope of attracting some good fortune…
I read somewhere that if you have a lot of happy visitors to your house, the good vibes will bring good feng shui to your household and you can be assured of a year of bliss. Well, Penang blogger faisaladmar‘s friend, Arjun Rampal Ajil, spent the night at my place on the first day of Chinese New Year…
The poor fella has been posted to teach English (though majoring in BM and Social Studies) somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the Dalat district where there is no handphone coverage, no radio or tv reception and no piped water. Luckily, they do have electricity there, unlike some other worse places.
Well, Clare of Kampua Talk got to meet Ajil when she dropped by with Cheryl – my ex-student from my English tuition class sometime ago…
Kpenyu happened to call at that time and was eating his heart out as I got to spend my Chinese New Year with sweet and pretty young girls. LOL!!!
Pollie and her family also came to the house…and friends in the teaching line e.g. Lim who could get hold of some “poomba” sometimes and would always spare me some. This is a photo of his son, Bryan, who was somehow rather shy when at my place (Perhaps he was intimidated by my size and my stern looks! Hahahahaha!!!)…
…ex-students including the one who is now a lawyer (KNB will know whom I’m talking about!) and my in-laws, of course.
Some bloggers jumped the gun and came in the evening of the 2nd Day instead, like Wongpk and Alexallied…
…and Bongkersz brought along his better half…
Kongkay wanted to drop by too…but was unable to do so because of the flood in his part of town. Well, next year perhaps…
Those who came “at the right time” later in the evening were in for a treat as they had the opportunity to sample my missus’ cooking; my culinary skills are good enough for ordinary days only. Sorry, Clare…you came a bit too early and all you got were “free smells” (like Famous Amos at Sg. Wang). Well, one good lesson to be learnt here – precise timing is very important! LOL!!!…..I will be posting on the food that my missus prepared in my next post, so make sure you all come back to have a look!
Some of you are back in the office already today, probably grumbling away. Don’t! Be happy, smile a lot and say nice things…at least, till after Chap Goh Mei (15th Night) to make sure you’ll be happy the whole year through. Looking at the bright side, be thankful you still have a job to go back to. Many don’t…

No wonder u got pretty gals dropping in to visit u,STP! U got a bollywood actor lookalike cooped up in your house!LOL!I think if your place is flooded too, u still have pretty girls turning up on your doorsteps! Hehehehe!!Pollie still in Sibu?
Wah! U too! Clare also said looks like bollywood actor, and the girls at Balkis where we went for lunch also! LOL!!! Dunno if Pollie’s still around. Staying at new hotel free of charge, compliments of Datuk Toh (Li Hua)…so nice! Her eldest daughter and son came with her and hubby.
You so pantang one ya..even got a skinny lion to perform…sure you lose lots of weight this year…hahahaha. You lucky thing….I know of friends starting work today.and yep ..still GAMBling all the way.What’s Clare’s handphone no. hahahahah
Not my lion lah…that one at neighbour’s house. I just curi2 went and took photo and curi some of their good luck also. LOL!!! Ooi…cannot simply give young girl’s handphone lah!!! You wanna take her out for lunch today? She’s back at work liao!
Eh….. i was like 5 yrs old lar when that stupid lion barged into the house uninvited. Anyways, in KK they have unicorns instead of lions. haha. Ewah ewah… this penyu kenjar betul lar..hahaha.
Unicorns! Hope they look better than the oxen in Penang. What the heck! The authentic culture only has dragons and lions. Can’t wait for the pig year now! Hahahahahaha!!!
Arjun Rampal…HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA…! You sure have lots of imagination, STP.
Yunno Arjun? I don’t. Dunno what he looks like, not into Bollywood and that Ami-tak Belacan! LOL!!! His friend calls him that. But he looks a lot better in person. Some people not photogenic….not like me! Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
Not yet back to work lah. I take 1 day off to rest. Hehehe!
Lucky thing you went back yesterday. Flood in Sibu getting worse, I hear…but our area ok. High and dry, and hope it stays that way! Touch wood!
aiseh, lidis i must come your house next time.
seems like im the only one haven’t been there. so best leh nampaknya!
Yalor! Welcome anytime! Weekend trip to Sibu? Book well in advance – get zero fare on cheap airline! Come and see tomorrow’s post – lagi best!!! Hahahahaha!!!
I have not seen any lion yet this time….drowned during the flood????
Here also very few! I think I saw only two…unlike before – one house maybe two or three lions! And when going out, sure to meet a few! Economic recession, everybody’s feeling the pinch!
SIRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so long din come here d…. Happy New Year!!!!!! Gong xi fa chai!!!! busy with term 2 so many courses
btw, im really sorry din find u that day cause no time la… 
ill try to comment here religiously to make up for it ..hopefully :p
Welcome back and a Happy New Year to you too! Work hard and excel, ya! That’s right, you never got back to me…but I guess young people would prefer to do their own things! No problem at all!
was shocked when I drive thru Pedada road yday-it was flooded almost all the way to town. Myself n A was feeling sick so huby decide to drive back early-after Selangau we saw few cars at the road side changing tyres cos the bad road condition. Thank God we are lucky. heard today the flood is getting worse cos of heavy rain in Kapitn Song area.
They say it’s worse today and tonight – 3rd Day is supposed to be the worst. I wonder if it’s flooding in Kapit and Song. Been raining a lot this afternoon here too!
Hmm..the ladies in Dalat must be having some competition among themselves to snare Belacan.
K-Okui, old old taro!
Hahahahahaha! K-Okui indeed! Ami-tak Belacan is pretty safe, I think…stuck in the school away from civilisation. The Melanau villages are on the other side of the river and the students (Over 70 only in the whole school – Year 1 to Year 6) come daily by boat! And schools like this one are supposed to be the better ones – others are much worse. I’ll be on my knees daily praying that Mel will not be posted to such a God-forsaken place when she graduates!
hahahaha ajil was so shy!!!
if i was there sure i will tease him even more!
btw, that lil boy is very cute… hehe so he is the next edison cheng ar?
make sure you cook lots of foods like this when i go!!!
btw, i changed layout and all the links gone. i have to add 1 by 1 again… and already added there because i used “follow blog” method provided by blogspot
Sombong! Deleted the link to my blog! Hahahahahaha!!!! Edison Chen? Eyew!!! U paedophile? LOL!!!…Another thing, Ajil eats like a bird! Just a few grains of rice, that’s all! So kesian! Hahahahaha!!!!
glad u r having a great cny
Hope you’re having a good time too!
Hehe….our home is quite rami
quite a lot of visitors.Too bad I can’t meet Ajil personally…or taste mum’s yummy cooking (drool drool)
Ok lah…not like when I was still teaching in school. Lots more then, and flood some more…so many stranded in their homes. You’ll get to meet Ajil in the mid-year hols as you people have three weeks and the schools only have two, so you’ll still be around when he comes back from Penang. Don’t check out tomorrow’s post then… LOL!!!
ha ha ha .. sure sure .. wait i will go there. hurm .. better plan early lah
Ya…then you can get cheap airfares, maybe free even! Kampua waiting for you…yum! yum! LOL!!!
kampua .. here rm4 .. ha ha ha. but that’s not even kampua!! – kolo mee I guess
RM4 quite reasonable leh? KL mah! City people very rich! Here, it’s RM2.20 but if you want kampua special, it can go up to RM3-4 also.
Hey..thanks for THE photo. Now I can imagine how sweet young girl looks like doing the lists when bored at the office.
Ajil looks like my Iraian American friend..(when he is not wearing his war turban). You sure he is a teacher and not a terrorist hiding in Dalat..hahaha..joke joke..Ajil..but then again I suppose you cannot see this in Dalat ho.
She looks bored meh? Maybe sleepy from main mercun all night! LOL!!! Nope, no internet access in the jungle!
Not in the pix la…would be very cute when digging nose etc etc hahahahahah.
We always take a few and pick the nicest ones! Friend-friend must give face mah! LOL!!!
Greetings. Joseph Cotter from years ago. Finally found out true identity of this illusive character (blog name), too good to be true! Looking great in the photo. Warmest greetings during this holiday season. Here’s a thought, what about a post on THE glory days of SHS?
Hello, Dr! Where are you now? Not in Sibu, I guess. Thanks for dropping by. I’m retired now…and hard to post on those days as I don’t have a scanner. You can post the pics on shssibu website shssibu.edu.my and then I can go there and steal for my posts. LOL!!!
