(1) I bought this box of Mandarin Orange, there's 28, @ $26.00.  Actually i saw another box, there's 30, @ $20.00.  At first, i was in a dilemma which one to buy, the fruit seller ask me if i were to eat it or used it to 拜年，actually the Mandarin Oranges that i buying is more to  拜年 than eating.  The fruit seller recommend the 28's which is the one above that i bought, as he mention it can last longer, whereby the other one, might not last long.  He only has another, which is 20's and in a nice box, and understand that it's more for 送礼. 


(2) Usually, i don't go for workout on Saturday as the venue is quite a distance from my place, but on the Saturday before the eve of CNY, i decided to go for it on CNY eve to burn off some calories, as there's no workout on CNY eve. Saw this God of Fortune, i was kind of like "excited", so took picture of it. 


(3) Bought ticket to an event, but was lazy to take picture, so when i saw this Monkey mascot, went to take picture of it.  This Monkey mascot attracted the attention of kids, as kids went up to touch the Monkey mascot and play with Monkey mascot.  Then i heard a guy calling out to Monkey mascot, telling Monkey mascot, hurry, hurry, no time liao, as Monkey mascot has to go and wait for the Guest-of-Honour to arrive and greet the Guest-of-Honour.

    I still have a few left - a little wrinkled on the outside but I found them to be a lot more juicier and sweeter than when I bought them. VERY nice, went back to the shops to get more...but no more, all sold out. :(
