Chinese New Year is one of my favourite time of the year, the other being Christmas. I love CNY because it's a gathering of my family from all over Malaysia and of course the yummy food my aunt cooks! This year was no different from any other years with reunion dinners, late night movie with the cousins, gambling and having fun with the kiddos. I had so much fun I didn't even notice the time and 4 days just passed by like that. We watched Hotel Deluxe, a cantonese comedy. It's a freaking hilarious movie I can't even explain how funny it is. Just imagine me laughing throughout the movie till I had stomach cramps! I would recommend it if it's still in cinemas but I doubt it is.
Reunion dinners are always my favourite! My aunt cooks such good dishes I never fail to get a second bowl of rice. We has fish, duck, chicken, sea cucmber, abalone, roast pork etc and everything tastes so good! If I ever were to miss CNY because of uni or placement, I would miss this the most!
So much yumness!
And of course, camwhore with my nephews and nieces. I'm gona miss each and everyone of them :( They brought me so much joy during the 4 days I was in Melaka.
Winson. He loves eating sweets, which explains his missing teeth
Baby Zhi Xin, a new family member!
Fionne
Baby Harry, can't get over how cute he is.
LOOK AT HIM! Don't you feel like pinching those cheeks?
Nawwwww :')
On the last day I was in Melaka, we went to Jonker 88 to have breakfast and the queue was madness! My mum lined up for 30 mins just to get the food and it's self service, not the order kinda restaurant. The laksa was delicious! I loved it. I didnt really eat a whole bowl of cendol because my dad ate mine :(
He ordered 3 bowls. One was durian, another is nutmeg and a normal one. I hate durian and nutmeg just tastes weird and my dad ate up the normal one so I got to try only a bit of the nutmeg one. Definitely going back there for more food next round!
I had the high school bunch over at my place for a small gathering or open house whatever you call it on Friday, the 6th day of CNY. This was also the last gathering for everyone since Pui Li won't be here on the weekend we're all leaving and not knowing if we're coming back in June, I just decided why not have a gathering? After spending 5 hours or so at my place, we had this impromptu decision to have steamboat dinner together. Sometimes our decisions are so spontaneous I wonder how everyone can come for it haha!
One happy family (:
Before that, I went shopping with Pui Li before collecting the pizzas from Taman Tun and we had this funny encounter that I stil laugh whenever I think of it. We went into Forever 21 and split up to choose our own clothes. Before I went into the fitting room, I called her but she didnt pick up so I just thought, okay, I"ll try on first. And I got a call from her saying she's coming into the fitting room now. So I tried on a flowery top and I needed someone to button up for me so I knocked on her door and when she opened her door, she was dressed in the exact same top as me and both of us were like WOW! And we laughed like wtf? Such a coincidence and of course, we snapped a picture.
