Our city hosted a New Year's festival a couple of days ago. Mostly comprised of a bunch of promotional booths sponsored by various banks and HMOs, so not exactly fun fair, but our moms found it rather thrilling. They liked playing the various games to collect free trinkets and buying cheap Chinese goods. Oh yes, and we can't forget the complimentary polaroids - although quite a few companies have upgraded to the Kodak easyshare type of set-up. I'm surprised they haven't stepped in to promote their printer/camera combos. Actually, it would be pretty cool to have a booth with various backgrounds where festival goers can have their pictures taken, or snap the shots themselves. Then they would move over to the printing station to see how easy it is to print their own pictures. Alot of moms would appreciate this type of demonstration since they rarely get to take digital pictures themselves.
Anyhow, the highlight of the day was watching my friend, K, participate in the Karaoke contest. She did not make the cut, however, but was given a warm applause and nice consolation prize. Actually, she was probably quite nervous since she sounded a bit off. Kudos to her anyway, since I don't think I would be able to get up on that stage by myself.

On another note, the highly anticipated President's Day Sale was highly disappointing. Should have known that selections would be weak on the heels of V-Day. Speaking of which, I finally did get around to eating those scrumptious chocolates. Kind of sad, but I had to force myself to pop in the first one. Of course, afterwards the rest slid down quite effortlessly. There were a couple with raspberry fillings that did not strike my fancy, but the color did offset well with the pot of violets I received.

Oh yeah, and finally got a chance to tidy up my room, although I wasn't able to get rid of anything yet. Holidays always throw me off the trash schedule. I think they should send us a calendar. Yep, so everything is in neater bundles (including the junk and scraps), just waiting for the garbage truck to turn around.
