Horse year

This year is horse so we must "马上发财” ! !! Chinese New Year for 2014 is going to end so soon but it's okay because everyday should be like Chinese New Year! Happy everyday ! 

Cny eve is one of the most important for Chinese families as they have to have reunion dinner together when during the night before the first day of Chinese New Year ! Everyone should stay happy and go back to your family. Reunion dinner should be one of the most important dinner of the year for each of the family. I spent my night with my family back at my grandma house. I can say all the dishes prepared by my grandma is super delicious. 团圆饭. 

After reunion dinner, it's already night time so we are ready to play fireworks or fire crackers ! All the kids will be super excited waiting for 12.00am during 30th of December. 

(Btw, me myself i was super excited also) hehehehe

I captured this near my house at 12.00am sharp. It was a really wonderful night of the year because the night is filled with different colours! It's the brightest night of the night . Boom boom here and there. The road is also filled with cars. I went to temple after 12.00am to pray for the year. I went back at around 2.30am. I was super exhausted but indeed fun and excited for Chinese New Year. Time really flies . 

The perfect capture of the firework above my house ! 

31st JANUARY (1st day of CNY) 

This year , the first day of Chinese New Year falls on a Friday and the last day of January... The morning of the day is always the brightest day of the year. We can see happiness in people faces. During the morning, i got myself ready and went to my grandma house which have been my family's tradition. 

All the anak anak cucu of my grandma ! She loves them all ! They are all grown up ! Like meeee! (So vain indeed) 

My pretty cousins! The smallest cousin came all the way back from Miri for Chinese New Year! Spent really good time with her :) 

I love my grandma because her smile is the sweetest one . This is best photo that i have taken with her, she smiles so naturally . Thanks for being the one of the greatest grandma in the world, without her, my life wouldn't been so interesting with so many nice food around me that she cook. 

This is another important woman in my life. She loves me so much and i love her so much too! Pretty mum !

The lion dance came to my grandma house ! :) yeahh! Wushu Team! I can say it's the best lion dance team in Kuching. Much compliments. 

After having fun in my grandma house for a day, i went to temple to "pai nian" 

Lion dance in action in the temple. Btw, i always go to Fa Yuan Vihara to pray (near 5th mile) 

After that, i went to visit my friends house until around 10pm then i went back to help my mum for preparation for the next day. I had open house the 2nd day of CNY.

3rd of February (4th day of CNY ) 

So as i said, i will always spend my rest of my CNY days with my friends, so for the 4th day i spend my time with my lodge friends whom i miss a lot and a lot. It's very hard to get to meet them because we are like in different school and different school time also. But, we got this time to get to sit down and talk. Sharing our experiences. 

So all of them came to my house in the morning and started of the day with the session of gambling again! 

Group photo at my house! They are friends who made you feel very special and appreciated. Love them! I hope they had a real good time there in Lodge where i am considered ex-lodgians already. 

The girls ! Let me tell you a little about our story. We have been in the same class since form 1 which means we are 13 years old. Some of them were from chinese schools and some of them were originally from lodge. We started of our friendship only at like when we are in the middle of schooling during form 1. We got to know each other well and fostered closer relationship! We do have arguement      Almost everytime because we are 5 in a group so sometimes maybe one of us may feel left out but we will always get back together after the next minute we quarreled. We became really best friends when we are in form 2 and until now. I feel so great and appreciated when i have them to be part of my life. Thank you . Lots of loves and hugsss. 

Yeahhh :) let's go visiting. We were to few houses and spend time bonding. 

The panorama view at one of my friend's house. 

Do the DUCK FACE PEOPLE. 

I love her so much ! 

Met up at Blane's house. And her sister, Lavender (behind me) is so cute. She's super smart and some more so pretty.

Basically, i just spent my day with my friends , having fun with them, tightened friendship. We will never forget each other after so many years of accompaniment that we have spent together. I really have a very good time with all my loves one. I will be posting more about my CNY so stay tuned. 

CNY - Cakes & Cookies

People start selling cookies, i start doing cookies especially my mum ! My mum's a very professional baker to me ! To her, baking is passion. Nothing can beat that word ! :) her cookies are like FOOD IN HEAVEEENNNN . People around her loves her cookies and biscuits and cakes or whatever food that she made. She's so good that people ask her bake and sell to them but my mum is someone who is not greedy about money so she doesn't bake to sell to them, she will just bake and give them as presents! That's the most beautiful thing that i can see in mum, she's super kind-hearted till she can sacrifise her time in baking cookies for them. Not only that, all the ingredients she use are like super good and she add extra ingredients into it! That's what people like the most! The jelly mooncake that she made last year for sell raise into fame where people around order from her. She doesn't like to use artificial products because what she cares most is about HEALTH ! Hehe. So let me share to you on her biscuits and cookies that she made for this coming chinese new year where people are going to turn crazy about asking for the recipes and so on ! 

Pineapple biscuits 

Pineapple-rolled biscuit 

This the proses on doing chocolate nut cookie. Still in a dough form !

Almond cookie 

This is sweetenned spring roll. You can make it easily even for year one kids ! What you would have to do is just to buy a few packets of spring roll skin and make it ! Roll it up and deep fry it and sprinkle sugar/milk powder/ horlicks on it ! 

Orange poppy seed cake 

It looks a bit like burned at the side , but remember it's just the side ! have a look at the cut out one ! 

This is a another made Golden Moist Cake ! It's pretty as it is ! It looks a little brown i can say ! It's a little hard ti bake because you would have to do do a lot of check ups on the oven while baking it . 

Royal golden as i can say whooshhj !!!! 

Tegral Chocolate Cake . 

Oreocheesecake - blueberry top filling 

-you would have to make the oreo fillling very very properly because it might fail by not sticking with the cheese that you will be depositing it with . 

You would be able to buy a lot of the recipes from KT ingredients ! Get it there now for you next festive ! 

CNY DECO

CNY is just around the corner ! People in the street in Kuching is super crazy with Chinese New Year preparation right now ! Shopping centres are going over on sales ! Everywhere in the city now ! Not only Kuching but i am sure around asian countries are having the same feeling ! Whooshhhh ! I am also having the "excited feeling" in myself right now ! CNY for me is like happiness ! Yeahh ! Because i get to be happy and free for the days . It's just around one to two weeks till cny ! It's getting closer . Asians are excited of this festival like ME (sorry for being so vain sometimes) hehe . The MALAYSIA YEAR-END SALE , i think it's still going on at some places only like shopping malls . But i don't really see a lot of shops doing crazy sales already like 50% of wholestore wide . But some there is still a part of the sale going on . Decorations are already filled at the city places . 

CITYONE , KUCHING 

(Sorry for the blurness) 

Chinese New Year lanterns is the most popular decoration for all the shopping malls as it's the symbol for chinese new year. :) 

SPRING DECO.

There also come shops in Spring still into big offers like PARKSON Grand . 

PLAZA MERDEKA 

This shopping mall is located at the city of Kuching where you can see top brands inside like COTTON ON, DOROTHY PERKINS, THE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL , TIMBERLAND, and many more like GUESS. But it's not as much we see in KL . 

So shop now before the offer ends and i am sure people will be getting more and more inside the malls because it's so near the new year where the people who are working will be doing the last minute shopping, so DO YOURS NOW ! To enjoy more offers and variety of clothings or items that you want! 

There are also roadshows everywhere now at Kuching Sentral, Boulevard, and many more places ! So make sure you don't miss you chance on visiting the small stalls selling chinese new year stuffs ! ENJOY !
