lol..it's d time of d year again where all chinese ppl all around d worldcome out & celebrate...yup, it's d Chinese New Year...BUT...is CNY really worth celebrating? i think every chinese would say YES....of course they would why shouldn't they? after all, it's their new year...juz like d malay's Hari Raya, christian's Christmas & etc...well, here's my take on why CNY should not be celebrated...
1) CNY...
CNY doesn't only mean Chinese New Year...it also means Contagious Neurotic Yucky...
2) You Fall Sick...
CNY is d time of d year where ppl gather around with foods aplenty...snacks, cookies, barbecue meats, mouth watering food & nt forgetting d must have...BEER...it has become a habit 4 wen we visit ones hse, we get served sumthing...bt CNY is different...we r served extra...food or stuff dat r nt normally served 2 guest on a normal day...& it is also no secret dast humans cnt resist food...once food is place on d table...we do wat we always do best...HELP OURSELVES...specially children...they EAT & EAT & EAT...till d gain d extra weight, fall sick due to coughs, flu, fever or stomach ache...d adults nt oni gain weight but also cancer due to excessive drinking of BEER...eating of too much PEANUTS...& d LACK OF SLEEP...
3) You waste $$$...
come CNY, d chinese ppl will decorate their hse...hang lanterns, place flowers, repaint d hse, get new furniture...etc...parents buy new clothes 4 their children & themsleves..new shoes, underwear...sum even buy new cars...all these cost $$$...in our curent economy...it is said that we mst SPEND, SPEND, SPEND 2 revive it...while it is true...we r actually depleting our own $$$...as with mst chinese ppl...they believe dat come d New Year...everything mst be NEW...thus, OUT GOES D OLD...IN COMES D NEW....in translation...WE WASTE $$$...we actually buy new decos wen we could hv juz keep d old one frm last year...we buy many new clothes wen we could hv juz bought one...considering d fact dat we buy new clothes throughout d year...we buy new car d curent one is still good as new...we buy new furniture wen d current one is still good...so in conclusion...WE WASTE OUR PRECIOUS, HARD EARN $$$...nt forgetting d ANG POWS...every dollar giveaway is a dollar lost...
4) Ang Pows...
Ang Pows...a customary give 2 kids frm those married adults...looking at it...it seems as if it's parents give other kids $$$...their parents give their kids $$$...so in conclusion??? WE GAIN BACK WAT WE LOST...WRONG...TOTALY WRONG MATE...d actuall theroy is...parents give other kids $$$, their kids recieves $$$ frm other parents...PARENTS LOSE $$$...KIDS GAIN $$$...4get bout d PARENTS KEEP THEIR CHILDREN'S $$$ THINGY...in d world we live in now...WHICH KID WOULD ACTUALLY SURRENDER THEIR $$$ 2 THEIR PARENTS??? & ppl complain about d lack of $$$ each day...picture dis...EVERY DOLLAR SAVED, IS A DOLLAR EARNED...so if we dun give angpows, we save $$$...
5) Accidents...
accidents...a very common thing during d festive seasons...but nt more den often...happens during CNY...why??? bcos all chinese ppl r CRAZY...they drive fast on d roads bck hmtwn...rushing so dat they can arrive early...sum rushing so dat they'd be on time 4 reuion dinner...etc...as 4 d children...including teenagers...they play firecrackers...nt the ones d malay's play during Hari Raya...the more dangerous ones..d ones dat shoot 50 fireworks into d sky...ones dat cause loud explosion...etc...& nt more den often...these results in injuries or fires...bushes being engulfed in flames...houses brunt down...& thus, we once again cause more harm den good...d enjoyment turns sour...we spend $$$ rebuilding d burnt dwn hse...medical expenses for our hurt child...we pollute d air due 2 d carbon dioxide being released into air...we cause noise pollution due 2 d loud noise...& we also cause RACIAL DISHARMONY...our neighbours of diffrent races will come out & complain dat it is too nosiy...sum call d police straight...while worst cases hv seen fights broke out...
6) Lion Dances...
lion dances...another popular thing during CNY...according 2 history...it suppose 2 bring luck 2 ppl hse's...ward off d bad demon & etc...however..it also EAT OUT $$$ AWAY, CAUSES NOISE POLLUTION, AIR POLLUTION & WASTAGE....we spend huge sums of $$$ amounting 2 a total of around 200$ juz to hire a lion dance troupe...we end up giving each member of d troupe whether they perform or nt an angpow...usually containing more den 20$...d loud noises frm d drums & other instruments causes noise pollution...which again might cause RACIAL DISHARMONY...wen ppl call 4 a lion dance troupe...firecrakers will be let off...once again...our already polluted air is being polluted again...dis also causes noise pollution...we also waste food...during a perfomance...it is customary to place cabbages, mandrine oranges & pomelo 4 d perfomer to peel off 2 form a word...& we waste food...with food being sacred dis days...we shouldn't waste food...it is a common fact dat we throw d food away after d perfomance...we dun eat d food...i mean would u?? yuck...i dun think anyone even dares...
7) Gamble...
chinese love 2 gamble...specially during CNY...blackjack, poker, mahjong...etc...u name it, we play it...all sorts...chinese of all ages gamble...& we normally play wif $$$...once again wasting it...while other ppl win $$$...many lose theirs...in many cases...they end up borrowing frm other ppl...lossing again...borrowing...lossing...it keeps going lyk a circle...finally, we kill ourselves cos we cnt pay bck...wen kids gamble...it soon bcomes a habit...which finally bcomes an obbsession...wen they grow up...they too bcome addicted 2 gamble...more $$$ is lost..nt 2 mention precious time which could be put 2 a better use...
8) Conclusion...
CNY is Contagious, Neurotic & Yucky...d $$$ spent can be put 2 better use in donating 2 d needy ppl...if we were 2 do a calculation...it would be more den a 100mil spent during CNY...which coincidently almost beats Chelsea's record of 110mil spent in a single summer...juz 20mil more den wat Real paid 4 Ronaldo & juz wat Haiti needs rite nw...pollutions can be better prevented if we dun let of fireworks or crackers...dun produce loud noises...harmony get's kept intact...& most importantly...OUR HEALTH GETS TAKEN CARE OFF...all in all...CNY is indeed Contagious, Neurotic & Yucky...so take my advise dun celebrate CNY...wat's d point??? if u did a detailed study....u would find dat we chinese ppl celebrate CNY everyday of d year...361 days, 52 weeks & 12 months...because...WE CHINESE PPL EAT GOOD UNHEALTY FOOD, PLAY FIREWORKS, GAMBLE & HOLD NOSIY CELEBRATIONS...EVERY SINGLE DAY...
