Last CNY, Ms C had the bright idea that she was going to compose a generic ching chong CNY song that will be played to death every year and live off the royalties, not unlike the Hugh Grant character in About A Boy.
This year, my grand plan is to make all-in-one CNY goodies. It will be one giant CNY bomb.
Nibble through the crisp outer layer made of love letters, and you will reach the har bee hiam. Continue through the various layers -- bak kwa studded with melon seeds, kueh bangkit embedded with Van Houten chocolates and White Rabbit sweets, and finally, a layer of pineapple tarts. And when you reach the inner core, there will be a Yeo's packet drink, chrysanthemum flavour, waiting to quench your thirst.
Bread Talk had better not steal my idea.

"It's Chinese New Year
Do you know where you are, dear?
Firecrackers pop by my ear
It's good luck, never fear
Have those you love near
To eat those pineapple tarts
And feel happiness in your hearts
Goodies piled high on carts
And good fortune rolling in from the start."
Like that can? Write the tune ok?
The only CNY tune I can think of at the moment is Da Di Hui Chun! And of course, Gong Xi Gong Xi Gong Xi Ni Ah!
Can we come up with anything catchier?
