HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE
How's the day been so far? :D
The first day of Chinese New Year is always usually the most hectic and tiring day.
Because before that, we'd be cleaning up our houses so that our relatives would have a good impression.
Also, we'd be relatives :D
So this is how my CNY was :)
Received this from dad's colleague.
It's BEAUTIFUL.
They're butter cupcakes with red sugar icing on top designed as roses.
There were 14 of them :D
As the tradition goes,
before Chinese New Year itself,
it's culture that families get together and have what we call a "reunion dinner"
Usually we'd have homecooked meals and just sit around the table bonding and catching up :D
This was a behind the scene of the chicken,
it was cut up after that ><
And for buddhists, (well my family anyway)
on the first day of Chinese New Year,
we would have breakfast together after the tea giving ceremony and before the guests arrive :D
And the food is vegetarian as we will be vegetarian's the whole day :D
Homecooked vegetarian meal,
I LOVE BEANCURD
This is a picture of the grandfather clock in my grandfather's house,
apparently it has A LOT of history behind it as it already existed before my grandfather was born :D
Which means,
this survived the Japanese occupation in Malaysia and everything,
if this clock could talk,
I bet there would be tons of stories :D
Well,
so far that has been my Chinese New Year,
I didn't take any pictures of guests because I was busy talking to them :D
How was your Chinese New Year? :D
