We have come to the end of the Lunar New Year, and I am missing it already.
This year's chinese new year, like every other year is all about merry making, having a lot of good food, and to spend time with the family. How often do we actually meet up with our cousins, and spend a good few hours together apart from occasions like these that happens once every year? I have also spent quite a number of late night outs over at my friend's place playing mahjong, and blackjack which i clearly have no luck at.
Cookie making. Which made quite a huge mess!
I prefer eating over baking anytime. But, no pain, no gain?
First day of visitations is an entire day affair me, from one place to another, way too many pictures, and too little time to get them sorted. These are only the few pictures I have on hand and can only receive the rest on Sunday when the little cousin passes the thumbdrive to me. For the past 22 years of my life, our itineray for the first day of the lunar new year never ever changes. It has always been the same!
Kebaya's again this year. I don't have on hand the many photographs we took that day.
Our resident photographer has yet to send me the pictures.
This is my one and only steamboat session I have for the entire season. And I am so proud to say that we both did almost everything from the buying to the preparation, and the soup base was such a hit. We bought as little as we could, so that we would not overdo it, and have too much leftovers. But at the end of it, we still ended with so much leftovers having to throw away all the good food.
Last day of the Lunar New Year
Homemade Kueh Dar Dar, and family potluck session.
So we have come to the end of the month, and I've been trying to make a decision about where I am going to go from here. I've left my job recently, and I've been searching for a direction. And honestly, I want to do something I am happy with and yet at the same time be able to support myself without the help of my parents, or anyone else around me. Well, deep down inside, I know what I would love to do, because I've done it before, and I want to have a go at it once more. Its just a matter of time, and having the right opportunity.
Goodbye February, and Hello March!
