Chinese New year 2025

ive bought potted kalamchoe for coming chinese new year and hope the flowers wont wilt by then. i went back to healthy diet to boost my immune system.sweet potato muffins with fried eggs,a bowl of blueberry kefir milk with cherries and a glass of cranberry juice. then i watched hong kong stand up comedian Dayo Wongs performances.Stand up comedy is funny depending on cultural context so i didnt laugh at Dayos jokes as i couldnt relate to Hong Kong everyday life.just as an outsider will not laugh at Malaysian stand up comedian Harith Iskandars jokes as it deals with quirks of local lives. of course slapstick comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Mr Bean or that mad Baron Sacha Cohen have universal appeal.But its damn hard to do stand up comedy.I guess Dayo Wong should switch to character acting as its easier to make audience cry than laugh.LOL is hard work.
