New New Balance

A new pair of New Balance for CNY.

Bright yellow to go with my red pants to bring out the festive mood.

Huat Ah!

Looking at these CNY goodies, it means Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

Thanks to all my colleagues n friends, I got so many varieties of CNY snacks which will last me a long time.

Here wishing everyone a prosperous CNY filled with good health and abundant wealth!

Have a fabulous snake year ahead!

Flowers red red

Tomorrow kicks start the lunar new year.

As usual, I bought flowers, the red one, to decorate the house.
Flowers symbolize prosperity.
Wishing all of you prosperity throughout the year.

花开富贵， 身体健康
万事如意， 新年快乐

Machiam Tok Panjang ( Just like long table )

It has been a long time since we gather at Erinna's place.
As one becomes uncle or aunty, gathering of friends becomes sitting around a table surrounded with great food.
It was indeed a sumptuous dinner, specially prepared by Erinna, her mother and in-law. Home cooked food never tasted this best.
On this long dining table, I love the soup and the Lobak ( black stew pork ) best. Of course, the rest of the dishes were all exquisite too.
In the past, the Babas would invite friends, usually the VIPs, for dinner and they would sit around the long table laid with fine home cooked food.

We felt like VIP that night. I'm so fortunate to be part of the Tok Panjang. I felt like VIP served with the best food.

花开富贵

It's the first day of the lunar new year and it's the day I'll put on my new attire and go Chinese new year visiting.
And I like to have flowers at home during Chinese new year as it symbolizes abundance in good fortune. This year I got myself these huge yellow chrysanthemum. I just love the bright cheerful yellow. For the Chinese, it's also the royal colour.
May the year ahead be a cheerful and smooth one that's filled with great fortunes.
