LOL You crack me up. Thanks for ya lurvely birthday and CNY card. Thanks to Miss Jess too for her CNY card! XD
Happy Chinese New Year, folks! While on the other side of the world, family members and friends are lazing around in their couches, eating, watching TV, eating, visiting friends, eating, collecting ang pows/money and eating, yours truly is hard at work and leading a life as if the Chinese New Year is just a myth. Apparently, the
Buggah. So, don't let me hear you ungrateful Malaysians complain about a lack of national holidays, or I'll whoop all ya sorry suntanned [insert unladylike word]. *grin* Gotta love the ebonics touch.
To comfort myself, I did what any self-respecting international student/temporary resident in a foreign country would do in such a pitiful situation: EAT. Hey, if I have to miss out in my cultural celebration, it ain't gonna be food. With that said, here's the elected Chinese New Year dish of the year, which I bought from
Now, it's been years since I've indulged in such a simple masterpiece. Glutinuous rice, yellow lentils, pork meat, Chinese sausage, mushrooms and salted duck egg, wrapped up in leaves (pandan?) and steamed, allowing all the savory and sweet flavors in intermingle and be infused within. To top it up, ketchup and chilli sambal on the side for dipping. Ahhhh, the eating experience was glorious, indeed! For those of you who don't agree with me -just- because you have never tried eating this, keep ya thoughts to yahself. ;)
Now, if you would excuse me, I need to work off those calories in the gym. Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone! May this new year bring you much joy and prosperity! Double that with God's blessing, amen!

Well, I would only pay a credit to Chinese New Year for its idea of reunion-for friends and families to get together again and catch up with each other. Other than that, I am not really a huge fan of the "meat fiesta", nor am I fond of letting my time passes me by, going from one house to another, eating pretty much junk baking food, waiting to leave (this is just killing me for waiting to go and watching tv just for the sake of killing time at someone's house). I am sorry but most of the things tend to be so superficial now. The only thing that I truly value is the time that I spent with my family and close friends :)
Aiyo Pest, I agree with you with the friends and family point tapi mesti makan sikit also la. *feeds Pest with onions and steaks* Wahahaha! Ok la, when I come home, you better pergi makan with me (homemade steamboat is the best, remember what we did w/ Uncle Saw Meng?) After that, pergi main mahjong sampai larut malam! Terror le?
Now that's what I call a celebration! >:D
