Happie Lunar New Year from Down Under

Happy Lunar New Year to Everybody~!!!~

Although I would really prefer to be back in Singapore RIGHT NOW for this very traditional Chinese New Year festive season... Recent Sydney's weather hasn't been the best to celebrate our CNY festival. Always wet & windy; making CNY parades, stage performances & lion dances to disappear. But we still make an effort to go down to StarCity casino to see the lion dances & dragon dance, plus 2 strings traditional Red Firecrackers!! Also took Angpows from Mr Chai, Chai Sen Ye (God of Wealth).

When checking out the steamboat on the previous blog entry, made me drool & heart wrenchin' to go home to sit there and have dinner together. Pap, you can really make me miss home. But knowing everybody is having a ballin' good time, lightens my spirits as well. Thanks for the Toast! Pictures does speaks a thousand words... That's very sweet.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm Sengggggggggggggggggggg

back to all @ home too~ *BIG SMILES*

However, Clement & I made it a point to keep certain traditions alive for the next generation to appreciate the lil' family traditions & taboos. We had a mini-spring cleaning; which means clearing my clutter. Clement has not much clutter. I take after my Dad, I like to keep stuffs, work-out stuffs & repair stuffs. So it's the time of the year, to those I can't repair / no time to attend to -- Goodbye! straight into the bin.

Next, shopping! New clothes! to usher in the new Rat year, MY year. Yes, 2nd round - 24 yrs old. Bought almost $50 worth of food supplies to DISH up our Reunion Dinner for the next 3 days and to have a brand new sack of Rice for the coming Rat year! Rice to feed the Rat. *grinz*

Not too long now, I'll be back home in time for the 人日 (Ren Re), in other words, Yu-Sang day~!!! Oh Yeah... Till then... Take care & wishing all Hs - Happiness, Health & Heaps of Money!
