Post CNY

Oh wow. I haven't been blogging for nearly a month now. Not that it made any difference, did it? How are you?

CNY came and went. Angpows collected. Lion dance performances witnessed. I actually saw a 'lion' fell off from a pole (horror!) at Amcorp Mall. Relatives visited. Reunion dinners attended. Listing of nieces/nephews (from my cousins' on dad's side) increased to at least 20 now . *Gasp* And a lovely newborn cousin brother, who looks exactly like our late grandfather (mum's dad, he passed away in early 1997). "Reincarnation", my mum and her siblings always said. "Small Father!" as they refer him. Hehe..

Had a mini 'lou sang' dinner with family at home last night for Chap Goh Meh, and 'tong yuen' for dessert. Mum heard from the radio that ppl normally have 'tong yuen' on the 15th day of CNY, I always thought it was only eaten during the Chinese Winter Solstice!

Now that the CNY celebration is over, it's time to open the angpow packets!! *nyek nyek nyek*

Tomorrow's Triple Occasion

... For which I will not be able to make it. *sniff*

The gang (Laine, KY, KLing, Zona, Julia & SC) are having a celebration over at Julia & SC's place. It's been a while since I last saw them.. What are they celebrating? Julia's much belated birthday, Zona's birthday in advance, and CNY. I heard YM's coming up from S'pore as well. *Sighz* I'll be going down to Malacca instead for baby Andrew's baptism..

Look at what the menu for tomorrow's dinner is gonna be like :-

* Roast chicken
* Soup + bread rolls
* Lasagne
* Sushi
* Salad
* Cake
* Fruits
* Ice-cream
* Yee sang

I'm gonna miss out on the company and the food!! DAMNIT!! I shall have to console myself by having chicken rice balls and 'luk luk' in Malacca then.. To the gang, may you all have great fun tomorrow!! Happy Birthdays, Zona & Julia!!
