Fun Gathering

.310109. Chinese New Year Day 5 @ Os Residence

Finally, I'm coming back to my chinese new year post. LOL. Just a few more to go. But before that, I had a bad football game just now. It was a inter-neighbourhood football match in Desa Parkcity and our team lost, missing the opportunity to enter the semi finals. Owh well, we played well though. Perhaps a little unlucky.

On the 5th day of CNY, a few of my cell members gathering at Os place for a simple makan + wine + monopoly. It was pretty fun and it's my 2nd time playing with them. I learned my lesson in the first game though. At the start, I was kind of monopolizing the game only to be swept away by Juni at the end of the game thanks to a cunning guidance from Os who was well bankrupt by then. Anyway, we had great fun that night.

Here's some photos...

Chap Goh Mei @ Souled Out

.060209. Chap Goh Mei Celebration @ Souled Out

Wooot~ If you still remember, I once mentioned about me attending this Chinese New Year celebration in Souled out with a few bloggers thanks to Alice George Communication again. Well, it has been very encouraging for me to be invited again to Souled Out knowing that the staffs there are really very friendly and they'll give you the warmest hospitality.

It was my first time celebrating Chinese New Year there and it was totally amazing to have everything in one. What I meant was the food there was delicious as always and the CNY setting brought out the celebration mood. Not only that, we had yee sang, the auspicious dish that many look forward to during Chinese New Year and Souled Out even invited special performances by kids from China to do acrobats and stunts. If you are not done with that, we also had lion dance performance which was my all time favourite for CNY and to round up the fantabulous night, the finale was litting up of 6 long red crackers before ending with a spectacular 3 minutes fireworks!!

That night was a total blast and in fact it was the best celebration I had this year!! All in one!! Here's some photos to show you...


*my all time favourite chinese new year performance*


*great settings for the great food*


*yummilicious as always*


*chinese new year celebration for all!!*


*you can expect the best out of souled out!!*

That's all for now. I'm pretty sure there will be more coming up from Souled Out. Apart from that, WIP is coming up with a new concept and 7atenine is also very happening!!

Chinese New Year Chronology

.090209. Chinese New Year Chronology

It's the final day of chinese new year. Chap Goh Mei is always referred to as a day where you will see young girls 'throw' mandarin oranges into the river with some messages hoping to find their 'true love' or what not lover. Anyway, for me, it only marks the end of a wonderful festive season!! And every year, I would only go to Petaling Street to watch the lion dances there!! Every Chap Goh Mei, there will be a few troupe of lion dance and also dragon dance that would perform in front of Kiew Brother's Shop, along that road.

Anyway, my last update on the chinese new year stopped at day 3 and here's what I have left to update!! Was really busy for the past weeks with photoshoots, house visitings, farewell and other gatherings. Would probably start updating them tomorrow or the day after!! =D

Lou Sang No 6

.280109. Chinese New Year Day #3

Just got home not long from Tuesday Night Prayer Meet in church and it was another great sharing today by Yoshua who touch on the topic raising up a new generation in prayer!! Thanks Jin Iy for a wonderful worship lead.

Anyway, here's the updates for my day 3 of chinese new year. Every year I would have get together house visiting with my primary school mates and this year is no exception. I woke up around 10.00am and had some biscuits for breakfast. Got myself changed and headed off to Mun Fai's house about 11.30am after fetching Kenneth. It was our first stop. Right after that, I headed off to my cell leader's house for my 5th lou sang gathering before my eventual 6th the same day at night. Had a great time meeting up with my cell members and church friends there and eventually we had a group photo with our chinese costumes!!


*chinese new year deco @ saikit's house*


*a black n white photo for the album*

After a fine lunch in my cell leader's house, I went off and joined my ex primary school mates again in Taman Desa. After the house visitings, we had dinner in Lit Heong Restaurant in Kepong and right after the pretty filling dinner, we continued house visiting in my house. Had a few "sessions" before we finally move to our final stop in Go's house. That was pretty much of my 3rd day though. Nothing much except for house visitings and makans!!


*more chinese new year lou sang coming up!!*


*more than 10 years of friendship*


*these girls can't be broken apart!!*


*yummy!! dinner that night was really full!! portions were big!!*

Chinese New Year is about eating more, getting fat and also receiving ang pows while house visiting!! Gosh.... There goes my "keep fit" resolution. Will keep that for after chinese new year!! hehe...

We Got Pawned!

.020209. Random Lou Sang Gathering @ Zoe's Residence

Just got home not long from yum cha session with Yatz and Zoe after a much exciting Facebook Texas Hold 'em in real life! =P There was fireworks, red crackers and red lanterns everywhere as many Hokkien families are doing their chinese new year "bai tin kong"!! There was one family that lighted up the sky for more than 30minutes for fireworks. I guess those people seriously have too much money to be burn!! Anyways.....

*I got a new haircut btw!! LOL (just before the gathering)*


*thanks zoe for the yee sang!!*

It was holiday for federal territory and I was home for almost the whole day on a chinese new year. Something must be wrong!! How can I stay home and do nothing besides blogging. Anyway, I was having a chat with Zoe on msn before we finally decided to have a random lou sang gathering at her place. We started calling people and those who came was Ren, Sandra, Yee Hou and Nicholas. Yatz came later to join us for CNY "activity". Zoe's brother joined the fun later on and regretted greatly for he should have continued his assignments in his friend's house!! LOL =D (You know why)


*zoe just woke up at 6pm, therefore she's still in her pyjamas!! and lou sang with us*

Pick of the day was Sandra won the round when she called the bid with "2" and "3" in hand without any pairs when the 5th card was revealed. The best part was everyone fold without any pairs and eventually lost the round to the smallest ever single card you can ever get!! How exciting!! Is this what we call beginner's luck?? LOL


*lesson of the day: dun be easily conned by beginners*

You can't do any better than that don't you?? LOL That was a real classic win!! Anyways, more texas hold'em coming up!! =D Looking forward to Saturday!!

Chinese Tradition

.270109. Chinese New Year Day #2

2nd day of Chinese New Year is rather predictable though. Relatives (mom's side). Went to my popo's house to meet up with my cousins and uncle aunties. My 2nd uncle and auntie prepared nasi lemak (again) for lunch!! At night, we had dinner together @ Hei Loi Tang Restaurant in Seri Kembangan/Serdang.


*chinese new year is also about cny cookies!!*


*the fun of lou sang is to lou until the whole table is filled with the yee sang*


*i love eating rice the chinese way*

Later that night, I finally got some Chinese New Year feel when I met up with my primary school mate friends at Happy Garden for some fun CNY "activities".

There goes my day #2. Damn fast....

A Week Ago

.260109. Chinese New Year Day #1

It's the year of Ox. My year. And it's finally here!!

As usual, the first visit of day 1 of chinese new year would be my dad's good friend's house (also his boss) @ Bukit Jelutong. There we would have super yummilicious lunch prepared and this year we had Nasi Lemak on top of the usual wax duck and sausage, steamed chicken and etc.

Right after the scrumptious lunch, my sisters and I headed to Times Square to grab some stuffs before going back home and wait for my other cousins to come (dad's side).

3 years ago, we started an annual Sing K session at Neway and this year is no exception. On the 1st day of chinese new year, my sisters and I together with my 3 cousin brothers will go for a buffet sing K session at Neway and this year we had another group of "Wong" which were good friends of ours as well to join us!! Best! Super fun!! We sang from 7pm all the way to 4am. As for me, I already closed shop by 12midnight!! haha..
