Ox : 2009 is supposed to be my year but how come they're forbidding me to get into this neighbourhood ??!! &%$#@!! -.-' sigh,,
Gahaha i never tought an ox can read^^! Puhahaa this picture was taken in a neighbourhood called 'Crystal Bay' somewhere in Malacca when my family and I were searching for a good place for lunch.
It says "LEMBU DILARANG MASUK TANAH PERSENDIRIAN"(Oxen are not allowed to enter private property) muahaha :)). Poor poor ox ^^!
"Stop Stop!" my mom said, let's take a picture hahha! FYI, did you know that ox is called 牛(niu) in mandarin(pronounced as new) so this year is really a Happpy Niu Year ahaha ^^!

Gong Xi Fa Cai & 新年快乐 to everyone^^! My family decided to have our reunion dinner at ama's house(my grandma's in malacca) this year due to the economic downturns. I find it satisfying as the food we had during the potluck was delicious haha^__^! Ama's delicious homemade chicken rice, butter crab brought from Bangsar Seafood(an all time fav), sushi(from Sushi king) bought by my singaporean relative, home made chicken rendang, baked sambal fish from a portugis settlement restaurant, and the most important of all : Yusheng(yee-sang). Yusheng is a mix of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. There were also jelly fish in it :)) aik! Yusheng resembles abundance and prosperity as the chinese believes..I don't really enjoy eating it (it is sweet! agaga ^^!) but i do love tossing it ahhahha =) i guess it brings luck to do so. One of my aunt wished for good economy for the rest of the year hahha ^^! Most importantly I really enjoyed being able to get together with the ones i love at least once a year ♥♥ ^^!
