what i did during cny (first half)

It’s the third day of Chinese New Year and I’m at Starbucks @ City Square JB. Might as well utilise their free wireless service and post some photos.

Mom cooked up a feast of everything I like for our traditional reunion dinner.

2006 Chinese New Year reunion dinner

Since we are Fu Chow people, we always have the zhao kuey for breakfast on the first day of Chinese New Year.

It’s rice wine thing with chicken and mee suah, someone feel free to explain it in proper English.

After breakfast we went to my grandmother’s place for the maternal extended family get-together.

That’s my grandma and I (duh)… she gave me a very big angpow this year, yay!

I also met up with my high school mates, Melissa and Shee Teng.

I did drink with my auntie and uncle with the fridge full of expensive alcohol. I also drank (a bit) with these fellas:

Edwin tongues Doofus (almost)

Somehow I get the feeling that Jimmy is afraid of me.

Suanie tongues Jimmy (almost)

I wonder why.

Then today I drove down to Johor Bahru to meet Pinky.. coz my passport expired and so I can’t enter Singapore, she came to JB instead.

Pinky loves Starbucks

Suanie Starbucks freak

She’s gone back to Sing-kah-poh, I stayed around a bit for the wireless access. And now I seriously need to pee then drive back to BP. Bye.

    You missed out in the important part. Which is waking me up at 10+ in the morning for some frequencies.

    You’re Fu Chow! Lol, so am I.

    (( Shame I can’t speak it )) :P

    Yeah, it is kinda hard to explain the mee suah and rice wine with chicken. Err.. it’s red and yummy?

    Mee Suah = A speciality of Xiamen, Fujian. It is a very fine dried wheat noodle with a smooth texture used mainly in soup. (Source: http://www.makantime.com/ingredientguide/indexm.htm)

    ‘It’s rice wine thing with chicken and mee suah, someone feel free to explain it in proper English.’

    Um … chicken vomit? Just a wild guess. I’m a real noob when it comes to meat-a-tarian dishes. :-)
    [Guards loins from possible surprise attacks].

    ‘I also met up with my high school mates, Melissa and Shee Teng.’

    Are they taken, are you going to pimp them (or get KY to) and … isn’t Shee Teng a Ricki Martin song?
    [Oh, boy ... am I digging a deep hole today. I'm only kidding Shee Teng, don't kick me in da nuts! But now I can't get that song out of my head! She Teng She Teng, oh, she moves she moves ... yeah yeah! Dabido's broken his brain again!] :-)

    ‘That’s my grandma and I (duh)

    Which one is you?

    [Oh, boy! I think this hole is dug already ... where are my lichen body guards when I need them?]

    ’she gave me a very big angpow this year, yay!’

    If it’s a million dollars, I’m single … just kidding … I’m single if it’s half a million … just kidding again … :-)

    Arrgghhh… Sorry I’m didn’t come for your “invitation”. Unfortunately, I was shopping for furniture when you sent me the email. By the time I read it, it was almost midnight.

    Somehow someday I’ll make it up to you.
