unbelievable. a month ago, we were celebrating the new year. and now, it's the festive season! the malls are all adorned with red lanterns and angpow packets and those flowers that you only see during this season and the music is all 'tung-tung-TUNG-CHANG' which IMHO really sets the mood for the season :)
gotta love this celebration! where else can you eat excessively without feeling guilty and buy new clothes/ok not so this one cause we buy new clothes every other days anyways so this doesn't count but you know what i mean and also get red packets aka ang pow. seriously, a festive season where we makan makan and get $$$ at the same time! best days in the calendar besides xmas and birthdays!
i especially love that all the cookies are out in those plastic with red covered containers are all over the place. that's one of the indications that chinese new year is coming soon :D and the yee sang! ZOMG THE YEE SANG! i used to hate that and only ate the crackers that they sprinkled on top! but now, i look forward to eating yee sang every time chinese new years is around the corner like how people wait for mcd's prosperity burger around the same time. i had my first prosperity burger this year by the way. love the curly fries! not so much the burger. gimme my double cheeseburger or spicy chicken mcdeluxe any day man. slurp!
i may show my disdain when they tell me we'll be balik-ing kampung but really i am secretly super excited about it! despite me complaining about the horrid weather/super duper hot i actually love it especially eating the home cooked food my grandmother makes and the chicken! ZOMG the pak cham kai! fresh kampung chicken make my mouth drools. i think i just made myself sound very unattractive but i don't care. when it comes to food, no two ways about it.
but really i love the festive feeling chinese new year brings. the dinners, the visitings, the gathering of families. joy!
i hope the year of the tiger will be a good one for me :)
and you :D
