CNY update

how's your Chinese New Year celebration?
mine was just eat, eat, eat, get angpao, eat, eat some more!
i am seriously gaining weight..
so obvious that my aunty actually pointed that out! T.T
have to start detoxing myself next holiday..
and then slim down =P

CNY celebration is nothing without food or angpao
and even fireworks! am i right?

this stick was the left-over from one of the fireworks

it was on CNY eve at my uncle's place..
that particular fireworks nearly gave me a heart attack..
instead of rocketing up to the sky and burst into flames..
like the one during countdown parties..
it reversed and shot down from the 3rd to the 2nd floor..
right behind my brother *thank God didn't kena him*
both my brothers ran to safety, i tried too but failed..
so i was standing barely 2 meters from it when
*poof* out came Coco Crunch.. joking la.. it's flames!
i covered my ears instead of my face.. how stupid hor?
thank God i was free from a single wound!!

i sooo miss Pop-pop and the stick that sparkles when lit!!
my cousin said they are too childish..
so they bought few thousand Riggit of fireworks only..=(

anyway, the good news is that..i am alright! *oh yeah*

CNY have to have "金" or "kam" in cantonese right?
i saw two freaking big pots of these Mandarin oranges..
they are as tall as my youngest brother..

big.. but juicy ah? *wonders*

lion dance is also a must during CNY..
these lion gives us luck.. so we had them on the 1st day!
Taylor's had a super chun lion dance troupe this afternoon..

entering my house..

pray to give us prosperity, health, luck and success!!

all hail the fruit basket!!

and this is the cutest angpao i received so far.. hehe

just another random incident during CNY..
my brother was wearing this hand-painted shirt..
and guess what?

haha.. cute leh.. 3 also happy and chubby..=P

talking about cute, happy and chuby..
introducing my little niece, Trixie!
she is super hyperactive.. i can hold her for less than 5 mins!

our first stop during CNY..=)

that's all about my CNY celebration so far..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE!!
today 初七 is 人日 or People's Day ma..XD

and i have to post a shout-out: "I L.O.V.E. 988!!!"
cos they always play songs that makes me really happy..
when i was practicing my driving just now..
they played the whole album of 2Face Fahrenheit!
they said good things about the album and the members..
so fans must get their original album not pirated version..
*hints hints hints to whoever*

some of you might know where's Kelana Jaya..
practice ground for driving, i meant.. yeah, about that..
on my way out from there..
i saw a freaking big advertisement that states..

"KELLY TAN E LI, WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
next to it is a picture of a guy smiling away, holding a ring!
*sorry no picture.. driving ma*

at first i thought it was just another ad..
but no, it was a proposal!
a freaking huge, expensive and sweet 1 too.. aww!

anyway, goodbye for now!

CNY celebration

Labels: occasion

6:49 PM

my celebration started since Chinese New Year eve..
we had home-cooked reunion lunch at cousin Creamy's place..
a lot of yummy dishes for all of us..
then we had reunion dinner at some restaurant at 6.30pm!!
it was the earliest i ever experienced..

the Yee Sang mixing wasn't fun or loud at all..
cos children and adults sat on different tables!
and mind you, the CNY dishes are typically tasteless..
my stomach was still filled with undigested food since lunch.. =P

after dinner, we went to my uncle's place to play fireworks..
and guess what? i drove there in Creamy's car.. hehe
first time ever driving at night in a car bigger than Kancil..
automatic car with passengers - my cousins and my brothers..
who were obviously terrified by the experience!
my speed was maximum 40km/hr - they were screaming! -.-
by the time we reached the destination..
my brother mentioned " Ground! Oh, ground!"
you know, like the scene for the movie "Pacifier".. *sweatness*

fireworks playing was even more nerve-wrecking..
we played in the under-construction 3-storey house..
my uncle bought few thousand Ringgit of fireworks..
but none of them was poppop or the stick that sparkles..
so i just stood aside to watch the guys play..

when they lighted the firework (that shoots up to the sky
and blast into a nice display)

CNY 2008 is 2 days away!

Labels: celebs, occasion, wuchun

1:29 PM

Chinese New Year is just less than 48 hours away..
getting excited??
i have no Chinese New Year mood just yet..
the only thing that excites me this festive season is..
ANG PAOs!!!
i just can't wait to get my hands on them.. lol

anyway, have all of you done the necessary preparations..
like spring cleaning, deco, food and drinks, angpao packing?
most importantly.. got your new clothes, shoes and bags?
because i have done all of that..
but i still don't have THE mood.. how lah?

anyway, angpao packing is my expertise..
i have been in charge of doing so since few years ago..
i just L.O.V.E. the touch, smell and sight of brand new notes!
even though it's not my money.. but still.. ^^

take a look at the new look of our RM50 note..
the first impression it gave me was.. Hong Kong dollar!

the above is the new one, and below is the old one..

the back of the notes

everyone of you have Astro right?
so the MUST-watch this CNY, more like this "Cho Yat", are..

1) Fahrenheit new music video on Feb7, Thursday
at 7.25pm only on Disney Channel (Ch 615)

2) S.H.E. Live @ KL Concert Special on Feb7, Thursday
at 8pm on Astro AEC (Ch 301)

3) TVXQ 2nd Asia Tour "O" Concert on Feb7, Thursday
at 9.30pm also on Astro AEC (Ch 301)

basically i want to watch these back-to-back concerts..
cos i didn't attend them last year..
nobody sponsor me mah.. =P

if this year i collected enough $$ and studied for trials,
i probably can persuade my parents to let me go for
Five Treasure Island a.k.a F.T. Island's concert..
the new teenage Korean boyband is Shi Wen's new love!
this March 30 at Sunway Lagoon Amphitheatre..
Shi Wen suggested to go for it..=)

or maybe if i am lucky enough..
i get to win 2 Jay Chao's concert tickets from Munchys!
then i can go to Stadium Merdeka on Feb 23 to watch it!

how cool is that? * i am day-dreaming so ignore me*

eh, why i am talking about concerts all of a sudden?
the topic is supposed to be about CNY.. =.=

to everyone reading this.. GONG XI FA CAI / 恭喜发财!! =)

steamboat!!

Labels: celebs, food, occasion

2:39 PM

wee~

the BU gang had steamboat for dinner last night!
reunion cum birthday surprise for 2 babies..
at Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant..=)

most of us arrived late - typical of Malaysians!
and surprisingly i wasn't the last.. hehe

the birthday girl and boy - Yun Xin and Shaun

Kaka and her yellow-haired Aussie friend, Sarah

my table.. *why are some of our eyes closed?*

Shaun attempting a birthday prank suggested by Xin

the first prank succeeded!
cos it was just an empty egg shell..
all of us totally kena "Gotcha!!"

after being dared to break a real egg..
Hang Woon said can't be broken ma..

it ended up like this.. Sally kena egg yolk! hehe

table cloth on my side of the table kena egg white..
thank God none of it got on us!

Hang Woon volunteered to be the bag hanger..=P

later on we went back to cousin Creamy's house..
to hang around and eat the oh-so-creamy cake!

the 1990 babies in the Kaka pose

with the birthday people

Melvin and i.. he followed every step i did.. so cute!

with Ting ting! *thanks for the pictures!*

group picture.. hopefully the bed is still stable..XD

oh btw, Keyin's self-made cookies are so yummy!
Keyin, remember to give me for Valentine's Day ah.. hehe

and Xin showed me 曾国辉's latest album..
seriously.. he look so much better and hotter than before!
don't believe? judge by yourself then..

his 1st album

and the 2nd album

ok, talking about hotness..
cousin Creamy say i am obsessed with hot guys..
which is kinda true..
and he says it'll be difficult for me to find a boyfriend..
cos i set my standards too high! -__-

frankly, i do not want a H.O.T. boyfriend..
cos i'll feel kinda insecure..
he'll be taken away from me any time!
as long as he's not too ugly or good looking..
has characters i am comfortable with.. he's good enough..
hopefully you understand what i mean..
and i am not in need of a boyfriend just yet..
i just want to get into a reputable university first! =)

K-drama: dal ja's spring

Labels: shows

9:29 PM

just after a mere 3 weeks of classes..
CNY holidays is here!

collected my IELTS test score today..
had an overall score of 8.0..
i am quite satisfied cos i was expecting around 7.0..
so i am feeling happy lor.. cos blogging helps! ^^

anyway, for this post..
i am going to touch on Dal Ja's Spring..
it's the latest Korean series i have watched..
actually, i completed the whole series last week! hehe..

DalJa's Spring

the pretty Chae Rim and the hot Lee Min Ki..

it's basically about a 33-year-old single called Oh Dal Ja..
she's at the crossroad of her life..
of whether to get married or stay single..
after her playboy boyfriend Shim Sae Do dumped her
for a playgirl named Wee Seon Joo,
she hired a fake boyfriend Kang Tae Bong..

while in the fake relationship,
she thought she had met her destined man, Uhm Ki Joong..
but he turned out to be a married man..
and then her ups and downs and blah blah..

this drama aims to comically and candidly portray
the reality and undying pursuit of romance
and highlights their life and work of 30+ single woman..
quite nice to watch and learn a lot..
and i love the pictures in the series too! =)
