Chinese New Year..

hmm.. somehow, as i grow older up Chinese New Year seems less and less exciting all together..

last time we used to go back to my grandma’s house where all the cousins will gather and play all kinds of juvenile games together.. we used to play hantu kalah in which i will usually end up being discriminated because both teams won’t pick me cos i’m a girl and most of my cousins are guys.. haha.. but nonetheless it was pure fun just running and trying to escape the other team.. and laughing so hard that we double over and get caught by the opponents..

but the last time we played, the fun was clouded by a dark cloud.. because our beloved grandma’s house is to be returned to the landowner.. it was the house where we practically grew up together.. playing our childish games..

i still remember the times i used to follow behind my grandma looking for chicken eggs.. and the times i would smile whenever i discover a bunch of eggs cleverly hidden by the mother hen.. or the time when my grandma, however difficult walking may be for her would hobble to the custard apple tree and look for a ripe enough fruit for me cos its my favourite fruit..

or the time when my cousins used to climb the poor pomelo tree behind my grandma’s house.. i was never allowed to climb by my guy cousins cos they are afraid lil princess might fall and hurt herself.. but it was fun just watching..

or the times when my cousin will entertain me with funny stories about their silly adventures.. haha.. should i tell them about your swimming trip dals? hehe..

so many memories.. though the place will be gone but never the memories..

oh.. and not forgetting yee sang!! this year we discovered Jusco’s ready packed yee sang which is really fun to prepare and really yummy.. ideal for cam whores who love to take pictures of food.. hehe..

YUM!!
