2008农历新年 - 除夕、初一

我小时候的团圆饭，和许多人一样都是在婆婆家吃，而婆婆家就住在登嘉楼的边界-Kuala Besut。但自从婆婆因为也渐老了不适合再下厨，所以每年的除夕夜，来自马六甲、怡保、登嘉楼的亲戚们都会个个上来哥打巴鲁聚合，吃团圆饭。
今年，我们选择了在一家酒店，River View Hotel吃。可惜两桌付了RM1200，所上的菜式，可是叫人大大的失望！
前年我因为身在加拿大，去年又有工作在身，所以多数的亲戚我都有差不多两年多没见到面了。结果这次一见面，发现老的还是老样子；但年轻一辈的，像我的堂弟堂妹们，哇，个个都变了不少呢！



新年当然少不了捞鱼生！



这就是我所谓年轻一辈的。

而这就是老一辈的。婆婆，和她的五位子女。

堂弟拿出他的 iPhone，引起了大家的注目。

财神到！

表姐和她的丈夫。



看婆婆笑得多开心！


用 iPhone 照相，那荧幕还真是又大又清啊！






爸爸因为知道表姐怀孕一事，而高兴地给她拥抱祝福。



吃过团圆饭后，大夥们就先回去位于Besut的婆婆家了。
我们一家呢就等第二天，初一一大早才开车回去拜年。今年姑姑为我们准备了美味的午餐， Nasi Minyak，一种道地的独特佳肴，一流！也难怪我只顾着吃，都忘了要照相...





晚上大家一块和住在欧洲的堂姐上网连线，齐齐祝贺她新年快乐。


大约晚上十一时，我们就和大家道别，开车回家了。

Lou Yee Sang @ Sushi King

Me, Xiang, Jimmy, Leonard, Siang & Jee Kheng went to Sushi King before we all left KL for Chinese New Year.
While we were flipping through the menu, surprisingly we noticed that they have the 鱼生 (Yu Sheng) at the time to celebrate coming CNY. For taste and fun we decided to order just the small one, plus we all knew we wouldn't finish the big one, so the smaller portion is just right for us...

鱼生 (Yu Sheng or in Cantonese,Yee Sang) is served as an appetizer to raise 'good luck' during the Chinese New Year. In a celebration known as "lo hei"(Cantonese 撈起 or 捞起), families and friends to gather around the table and, on cue, proceeding to toss the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying auspicious wishes out loud to mark the start of a prosperous new year.

Eventually...


"F O O D ..."

"Hmmm...yummy~"

"ZZZzzzzzz~~~"

Happy Chinese New Year! :)

回家

今年的农历新年，
许多好朋友都不在哥打巴鲁。
虽然少了一份热闹，
但在宁静中可以感受到家里的那份温馨,
所以一点也不寂寞。

这两个月里，
我回了家好多趟。
身边的一切都是那么的真实和亲切。
我喜欢那个小地方，因为大家都很靠近。

现在回到了吉隆坡。
一个我住了五年但仍然觉得陌生的地方，
一个热闹，却藏着寂寞，不开心的大都市。
要去一个地方很远，要真正认识一个人，更远。
我讨厌这里，因为这里根本不像 家。

Jimmy's Birthday . Yummy Friday's

This is Jimmy. A very generous and good-looking gentleman.

He is my best buddy from TheOneAcademy. Currently work as a lead background artist in a 2D animation company and ya... he is still available. :P
He has the same birthday month like me, as in January. But since I was back in hometown while he celebrated his birthday party, so when I came back to KL, he was kind enough to spend me to Friday's (oh yeah I always wanted to be there~) and we- me, Xiang and Leo celebrated Jim's another birthday dinner!

Our big and delicious meals:





















Thanks Jim for such a great meal and a pleasant night!
