gong xi fa cai

i have found some rats here to bring in the new year cheer. may everyone be blessed with a prosperous and healthy year. hope everything that you do will go smoothly without any obstacles and glitches. be wary when u have to and be happy with everything else.


the reunion dinner was quite a breeze. we had sea cucumber, pig trotter, chicken, ice lettuce (? this is sang choy right??...i am bad with vege name), fried wan tan, steamed fish, abalone soup, fried prawn sticks, fried chicken and an egg dish stir fried with scallops (grandma's creation).

and after dinner we had dessert time. actually the tummy could not take in anymore, but the customary fruit punch just got to go in. dad went out and bought 2 boxes of ice-cream. waaa....more to fill.
then it was 'exercise' time. this exercise lasted for 2 hours. man, did i sweat. the boy in the photo, no sweat lah, he only prepared bucket to collect my sweat and aunt's. i think you can see from the words on his shirt...he loves the cards.
well, cinderella now going to sleep. this indian summer kind of weather is totally unbearable. yesterday it was toss and turn because of the heat, but tonight it is better. have to learn to close my ears to shut out those firecrackers sounds and pray hard that tomorrow, we won't have early-risers who call to wish us happy chinese new year. AAAHH!! i am going to switch off my handy too. slumber time! what a wet blanket huh.
