Marshmallow. White spongy sweet delight that can be eaten in many ways. Some like it as it is, pop it into the mouth and chew the sweetness out of it. Some like it with their hot chocolate drink, dip it in a cup and watch it melts slowly with goodness. Some even like it barbecued, skewer it with a stick, grill it over the open fire and see it burns with foamy effervescence.

I don't really like marshmallow. It's too sweet for my liking. So why the heck am I blogging about marshmallow? I have no idea.

You see, my obsession for today is actually hand sanitizer. Not those you use at the hospital when you squirt a little bit onto your hands and you can almost feel the instant cold sensation vaporizes off your skin. Those are expensive. I am talking about the rinse free, antibacterial, clinically proven to kill 99% of germs, gel looking kind of hand sanitizer. It's handy and it's inexpensive. For a mere B$5, you can easily obtain 240ml worth of hygiene waiting to magically clean those insanitary hands of yours when you have handled dirt, dead animals, sweat, snort, something which you are not supposed to handle in the public, etc.

I don't really like hand sanitizer. It's too weird not to wash my hands when they are dirty. It's like going to the toilet and not washing my hands and immediately shake hands with elite people. So why the heck am I blogging about hand sanitizer? I have absolutely no idea.

I have been unwell recently, probably caught some bugs from something or someone. Or maybe I shook hands with someone who used hand sanitizer instead of washing his hands. Gruesome. I have taken quite a lot of Panadol and it helped when I had a fever. Right now I am getting better but still not in tip top condition. I don't want to fall sick before Chinese new year otherwise there will be no precious angpao for me! Not that I will get many this year and it's kind of embarrassing to receive one at this age but I don't care. I want money. I want angpao. I will demand. I will throw a tantrum if I don't get any. I will openly declare that I am still eligible for angpao when I visit people and if they don't get the hint, I shall revolt. I shall shake their hands and I will not be using hand sanitizer at all. Fear me.

I really like angpao. Who doesn't? Do you?
