some kids have started jogging in anticipation of chinese new year. to them, cny means eating all sorts of cookies. on the contrary, i keep my appetite to the minimum when i attend open houses during this period. the only biscuit that attracts me is pineapple tart...and i guess i am bias, ours is still one of the best. haha....
top left, i got a can of fried seaweed and spring roll at work. dad said no to buying fried stuff. so i had no choice but to finish that one can in one week in the office. made good bites and no wonder i ended up with a hoarse voice at the end of the week. ;Pas for mandarin oranges, i am not taking any. just don't like them. have not eaten oranges for so long because of what the chinese sinseh said about blood circulation. i miss orange juice.
and the bottom right picture- dried duck meat. rm30 for 500g. if you buy pork's, it is at least rm35 for 500g. to me, they taste almost the same. but definitely better than the jerky aunt brought back from australia. no wonder atticus loves malaysia's version so much. those in australia are as tough as leather literallly and not as tasty. so breakfast now consists of an apple + buttered toast + dried duck meat. muahaha....satisfied.
we only have hung these at home. still feel so bare. feel like maxing the decoration a bit this year just to get into cny mood. the haul of cny card is not bad (mid bottom picture). i got one card from behrang adun lagi. mom could not help from scolding when she saw his picture on the card. he was one of those who jumped ship after being elected.
and i got this box instead of a greeting card. such a creative idea. the carrots are easily identified but the rabbits are kinda distorted right? still, i think this is such a novel idea.i hope i will have more things to come related to cny. more 'ong' and more decorations hanging in the house!
