CNY wrap up

Well well! CNY celebrations are almost over... and it's time to step back into the cruel realities of work/studies. However, i'm pretty sure the joy i've gotten from this year's CNY will linger on. Here's some of the things i'll never forget to remember not to forget...

1. i won't forget the long hours put into making our family's traditional snack: the 'Woo Har'. which sounds like "Oooooh Ahhhhhh" which is pretty much the kinda feeling it gives you when you eat it. hahah it's basically fried yam. but oooooohh, ahhhhhh, it tastes niceeeee



2. the crazy table tennis session on my round dining table. -->
(see previous post)









<-- 3. The time i made chloe wear an ang pao around her neck.


4. The round of "In-between" that my cousins and i played @ my eldest uncle's place, of which i earned $25!! woohooo heaven!! It was so intense, i almost bounced off the ceiling!!






5. I'll also never forget how charlene wiped us dry in Texas Hold'em. Made both me and zhichao bankrupt! She's the devil i swear!! hahah babe u shd really go buy 4D this year man. -->


6. how malik, chao, char and i had stitches just laughing at what english names to 'give' to her new bf. "I am... PAULLLLLLL!!!!!"


7. The tons of CNY goodies we ate. Gawd u have no idea. It's like a bad habit. The food's right infront of you... u just HAVE to take some every 3 seconds... u try to walk away from it, but there they are again! they're everywhere!!

Oh and once again i received comments from my auntie that i look rather japanese. muhahaha. i REALLy don't look local anymore. maybe i shd start learning jap so as to really fool ppl, in that case.

Other stuff i'm looking forward to still are Lou Hei... and Nian Gao (this brown sticky sweet thing fried with egg and sweet potato. it's life-changing... really) on the 7th day!! Let the fun never stop!! let the delicious goodies last us for a year!! (even when they're moldy and potentially poisonous!!) hahahhaa

Lee Family: The Reunion

Well it's that time of the year when chinese families all around the world gather @ home to have a hearty meal... it was no different for my family. And this was the year i told myself: i'm gonna help out with the preparation of the gargantuan feast. My mum has laboured long and hard enough for CNY preparations, and it's time I did my part too.





That's my mum... my hero. She's such a pillar in the family. Love her to bits. btw, can u believe she's 60 this year?!?! hahah oops. sorry mum. wasn't supposed to reveal ur age. hahah




















Yes yes that's right... i was one of the chefs involved in making the feast that you see in the picture. Muahaha. Okay well, i did the chopping and stuff... and also the cooking of rice. But hey, at least that's something. My mum refused to let me cook... afterall, that IS her 'territory'.












The table was too crowded to fit in all the dishes, that my eldest bro even had to hold up one dish!! ahahaha Oh my dad. geez. I dunno lah, my brothers and i getting more frustrated at him. Everytime never help out, only know how to watch tv, complain here and there.... sigh. Actually, it's good that he didn't help out in the kitchen too. He'd make a mess of everything anyway.

And well my brothers and i got quite bored... so we do what wacky brothers do...




... We played table tennis on our ROUND dining table, with a stack of tissue paper as the 'net'. hahahaha. that was me having a mini-contest with my sis-in-law~ hehehe.

We also spent some time laughin over this video which is damn friggin hilarious. Thanks to melissa for forwarding me this video!! it's awesome!





Sigh i miss my gf very much. she's in JB now with her whole extended family. I'm just not used to celebrating a happy occassion w/o her. Well sweetie i hope everything's going fine~ can't wait till u get back~ =)

Happy New Year everyone!! May you have a RATtling time!!
