Family CNY Dinner 2009

Well, I am sure that most Chinese family have their CNY Eve's dinner with family members. This certainly includes ours. Chinese New Year Eve for 2009 fell on Sunday. This year, I can see that Grandma was pretty happy because most of her children's family were there for the CNY Eve's dinner. Not only her, I was pretty excited as well. It has been a long time since I last met up with my cousins. All of them had really grown up especially Kelvin. Man, last year he was shorter than me and yesterday during the dinner, he's almost overtaking my brother's height. And he's only like what.. 17? Gosh! There goes another one taller than me. =.=" Ah~ and most of them are in a relationship now. Double sweat. Luckily, none of my aunties or uncles asked me about my relationship. Thanks God!

As we were waiting for all to gather at Grandma's house, my mom stumbled upon an article about the so-called Chinese Horoscope for those who are born in 1988, year of the Earth Dragon. Well, she teased me "Oh, this year Dragons will have a blossom in relationship." When she uttered those words, immediately, I can recognize that she was teasing me. "Cold joke for the start of lunar year, mom." Actually, I did some thinking about this matter not too long ago but I guess since most of my secondary school friends are still single, I just don't feel the pressure of getting one right now? And don't even give me the suggestion to find one in my college. We are considered the pioneer batch of our course so we only have juniors and although some of my juniors can be H.O.T, I am not too keen about dating a younger guy. No offence on younger guys who are reading this. XD

The dinner was swell! Dishes included were fish (nian nian yiu yu), prawn (hee hee ha ha), braised duck, steamed chicken, mixed vegetables and I can't remember the rest but I do remember how yummy and tasty Grandma's cooking is! Oh ya, her curry is a legend for its spicy-ness and the tender tasting chicken. Haha! Too bad I did not bring my T-series with me that day. If not, you guys might drool reading this post with the pictures included.

Apart from that, I just love the small talk and miggling around, catching up with current news from the others. I do believe that we need to mantain good communication to mantain good relationship not only with family but with friends as well. That's the reason why I like to bother you guys about gathering the moment you guys landed in Kuching. LOL!

I can't wait for next year's as then, every children of Grandma's will be here in Kuching. Well, Uncle Richard did mention of coming back for 2010's CNY. Maybe Aunt Lucy will tag along too? Fingers cross.

To all my friends and random readers of my blog, wishing you a blessed CNY! Never too late for the wish aite? There's 15 days of CNY! Have fun and eat lots and lots and lots! Whee~
