Whirlwind Gone

Today its the 6th day of Chinese New Year. The whirlwind has come and gone. Once again leaving no trace of it ever been here. hehehehe.....


This year, for the first time, we are celebrating CNY here in KL instead of Kluang. My mom, granny, the maid + the 2 rascals (million & dollar) arrived on the eve and unc Lester arrived on the 2nd day of CNY. We had a simple reunion dinner at my Uncle's place for the first time. Sorry for not having any photo to show. The food too yummy till we forgot to snap picture of it.


There is no welcoming of the God of Fortune like what we always do back home in Kluang. We just rest & relax & chilled. THat's about it. Kinda don't feel like CNY. :p There are just some things that must be done during CNY and they are welcoming the God of Fortune on eve, tossing of yee sang (raw fish), sugar coated gummy candies, mandarin oranges, tidbits tray, fire crackers, pineapple cookies and etc....only then, it feel like CNY.


Besides the neverending eating... we played mahjong too. Luckily made some money. Otherwise, waste energy only sitting there playing and playing...:p

We did some visiting and had friends that came visiting us too. It was the usual eat, drink and chat chat chat... it was nice. I guess, CNY is also a time to catch up with friends and relatives.


We even took the opportunity of "KL being deserted during holidays" to go to Midvalley and Genting Highlands. Trust me, KL is not so deserted afterall. Midvalley were packed to the brink and Genting Highlands have ZERO carpark available.
We had some really good food though. Mom cooked 'Buddha Jumped Over the Wall' and it was delicious. We all enjoyed it very much. My aunty too cooked yummy food. End of the day, its not so much on what kinda a food we get to eat, or how big the prawn is, it is the sitting down together, enjoying our meals, joke and laugh till our heart out. That's the true meaning of reunion dinner.
