Happy Bull-ish Year 2009!

Happy Chinese New Year!!
This is the second Cny that I'm celebrating abroad...
The second year of new year celebration in the snow...
A lot of people asked me if there's any Cny mood...
Well, last year I had to go for a job interview
This year, I had wake up 7:30am to wait for the bus to work
(It took me a great deal of effort and determination to get up from the bed!!)
I wonder what would I be doing next year...

To bring our tradition to wherever we go, we had a reunion dinner last night with awesome menus...
Just like typical Malaysian Cny cuisine, we had YEE SANG, a dish consists of carrot slices, raw fish, crackers, plum sause etc
Then we had honey-grilled salmon with big fat scallops
We also bought large shrimps from Walmart for the ginger-steamed shrimps
The mixed vegetable also helped remind me of the dish that I usually don't eat at home during Chinese New year...:p
we also had the herbal chicken which, though not really cny-ish, added to the variety of the sumptious meal...
Don't you think we are a bunch of people who really know how to eat???

Nevertheless, I'm still missing the cny time spent at home...
where the cny mood is so lively in the air...and there would be one whole week of break from work and school...and you just sit at home watching tv and just chatting with your family and friends...
To at least compensate that, probably not the best way, I went shopping!!
It was the after-season sales...
Everything was super cheap...
Imagine $2 belts and $3 sandals...that's the deal that you get during this time...
Did I tell you the departmental stores were giving away comestics and colognes free for the past week? I got a Armani Code body wash!

Well, now I'm broke....
