happy new year anyway :D

too old?! how old are you?! i'm collecting until i get married, which is usually when it typically gets cut off. but then i'm getting married before i'm 30, which would probably be an odd age to still be receiving money...

Aye nei suam bong noi!

English man!

I'm half Chinese half Cambodian and can't read either :p. A friend sent me the message.

What does the Gong Xi Fa Cai mean? Year of the dog I'm guessing?

My Chinese New Year was cool. A friend had rented a room karoke room in a Chinese restaurant, snacks, food, karoke (very dodgy singing by me :p) and funky Chinese drinking games. After went to a club in bar/ club in Leciester Square so that was great fun. More drinking and dancing ensued :thumbsup:.

Then today met up with some friends and was in China town in London. SO packed it was crazy. Really should have booked a place for some Dim Sum but it was packed everywhere. Instead wondered around for ages then decided to go to a Monogolian BBQ instead :p.
