    Family Reunion Lunch @ 2009

    Gong Xi Fa Cai!



    Happy Chinese New Year!
    Wishing all of you to have a great OX year!
    Had a great family reunion lunch yesterday afternoon. Mom prepared lots of dishes - chicken, duck, roasted pork, abalone soup, veggies... Dear did not join us for reunion lunch this year because he needed to work. He dropped by to send hamper only, and headed to work after that.
    CNY - Eat , eat and eat only. I did not drink any plain water yesterday. I drink soft drinks, pineapple juice and chinese tea only. With all the nice beverages, i totally forgot about plain water! I know this is very bad, but I will try to remind myself to drink more plain water.
    I also had reunion dinner with my dear. He reached home around 11.30pm yesterday, 30minutes before "chor yat". We had steamboat, auntie prepares steamboat every year for reunion dinner. I love the soup that she prepares. Taste 'sweet'.
    After dinner, it was Ang Paos time!!! No, we did not give, but we got ang paos from his parents. lol
    Wishing all of u Happy Chinese New Year!
    May all your dreams come true!

    Chinese New Year Light Up @ Chinatown

    Jalan Jalan in Chinatown with Chloe again last Thursday. Went there because we heard that there are 600 stalls selling CNY products. Being cheated d. Where got 600 stalls? At most mar 200 stalls only. And the things that they sell are very expensive. SGD$6.00 per 500 grams of 'Gua ci' (Sun Flower seeds), crazy!
    The main purpose we went there is to check the prices out. This coming CNY going to be my third CNY in SG. For the past two years, the prices dropped like crazy 2-3 days before the first day of Chinese new year. Taiwan 'Mua chi' price at SGD$1.80 per 100 grams at first, ended up you only need to pay SGD$3.00, then the seller will give you one plastic bag, just fill the plastic bag up with the "mua chi" on your own!!! You can grab as many as you want, as long as they can be fitted into the plastic bag. I won't buy anything there now, will wait till last minute. lol What to do, 'Giam Siap" ma...
