Happy New Year!
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Haven been updating recently cause of the chinese new year. These three days have been fun and my stomach has been always FULL every minute, every second. Let's start from new year eve. 除夕 Went to my grandma (mother side) house for reuion dinner. We had the traditional steamboat, my dad and i were the last to reach there as before that i still need to work for the last day. That day was tiring, damm tiring, cause i the day before i work till 11pm. Anyway, had the dinner, stuff whatever food i see on the table and was so full by the time i stopped. Then didnt do much, too lazy and full to move around. Sit around and watch tv. Continue to eat those new year's cookies, all sort of them, really very NICE! Sure FAT de!!! X.X
Then went home for the count down, didnt help in preparing all the things for the countdown ritual, cause busying watching tv. haha. But there isnt much, my parents settled all the things before 12 midnight. 大年初一 Went to my grandmother's (father side) house to 拜年, got ang baos. This year, didnt go cemetry to pay respect to my pass away grandfather and second uncle, cause they "moved house" and now they are "under one roof", so pay respect at home can le, dun need go all the way down to the cemetry. Hang around to 1pm like that then went out to 5 temples with my mum and aunt, cause there isnt much to do at my grandmother house. The adults were busying playing mahjong, left those who were not playing and those younger ones, sitting around doing nothing. Therefore, i went out to visit 5 temples. I think that day was my first time visiting so many temples in a day. And while visiting the temples, also had their free vegetarian food - only available in those bigger ones. Again, i am VERY FULL. 大年初二 Went to my grandma's (mother side) house to 拜年, got ang baos too. =) We had a mini buffet for lunch, is those pot luck that kind. But not like, prepare at home and bring it over. We buy frozen food, like chicken wings, hot dogs and whatever you can fry and grill, and use the frying machine and the grilling plate to cook the food. There is also dessert too, so is sort of a buffet, haha. AGAIN, i was SO FULL. Then some time after that, the whole family had lohei(lao yu sheng). The whole place ended up in a mess, the kids were like playing with the food. Chat with my cousins, and then booked 12 tickets of the 家有喜事(All's Well Ends Well), watched the night show. The show was nice, though sometime is lame, but FUNNY. This saturday, if i am not going anywhere, i will be going to my aunt's house to collect more ang baos! Haven meet them yet, so haven get their ang baos. Six more to go!!! haha....
played at 9:57 PM
