Chinese New Year. :) Wabbitly Wasome.










flipflops from cotton on


I had to bring my smelly doggie with me :) 


Breakfast every morning















Bidin - a vegetable that tastes like kangkung ; just awesome-er :D




Cousins


Reunion dinner table setting at home 
(It's exhausting)

My favourite dish ! :)


Tossed Salad for the centre :)




Waxed Duck

Lovely Mr Ho.'s roasted pork.









PRE CNY.
So as usual, I headed over to Damai Puri Spa & Resort before heading over to my grandfather's place in Sg. Apong. Gorgeous place with a beautiful scenery, albeit a tad overpriced.
Basically just relaxed by the pool with a good book in tow and allowed the breeze to blow my worries away.

Food at the hotel is horrible and expensive though, so I wouldn't recommend your eating there, but there's a place nearby called Dayang which has been a family favourite of mine for years. Try their sotongs, bidins etc, they're fresh and deliciously affordable ! :)

Played around a lot as you can see with my LomoLomo app in my iphone, and pretty happy with it.
I think the Kaftan was a tad too big though but the Bikini I got from tanks for five at rm25 was just amazingly comfy and awesome ! :)

CNY PREPARATIONS.
I come from a large family on both sides. My dad has 11 siblings - 12 including him. So you can pretty mush imagine how the size of the reunion dinner was. I had to was approximately 300+ plates - and thats only for the first meal ! :)
My fingers are callused and rough now, but nevertheless it's a must for the women to do so in my hometown.

CNY.
I had a lot of fun eating all the snacks and chinese dinners, dressing up and collecting angpaus.
My CNY is pretty much the typical one with lots of food and angpaus - and of course, my CNY indulgence - a little gambling.
fireworks were beautiful as usual and cousins as naughty as ever :)

Happy CNY :) bunny bunny bunny :D

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR, BUNNIES ! :)

I've been away - thus the lack of updates recently. 
I just came back from a trip to Kuching, Sarawak - my hometown and I'm dead tired!
Plus, I have college tomorrow. I'm going to die - what with my new timetable and all.
But I think other than time blogging wont be a problem for me anymore:)

What happened these 2 weeks I've been away from my blog ?

I succumbed to my lustful desire ! :)
No - I think my virginity's still intact. Hahahahaha.

One years worth of saving - I finally got my baby.
And it's worth every penny
I've been pretty much snapping pictures with the LomoLomo application which is available in the itunes store for free - with a few lenses!
You can of course, purchase the full one for 0.99 dollars, and I'm tempted to.

It was worth the saving - worth the getting out of bed early to queue at the maxis centre.
At RM1690*, I signed up for the 1-year RM100 plan.
If you're not going overseas next year - which I hopefully will still, I suggest you get the 2 year plan for this and a 16GB one can be yours for only RM 990! :)

I'm happy with the range of data plans. They have quite a wide range of plans to suit the different needs of the users, so i suggest if you have some angpau money left you consider an iPhone !

I will post more about my CNY tomorrow as I've to finish the due designs for the yearbook tomorrow - I'll touch up the pictures a bit.


my mom's attempt at making bunny cookies. :)


my baby :)


mom's favourite cookies.


my mom & I saw these selling at the curve at 35 dollars for a small box - and mommy decided to give it a try. Who knew they were so popular with the kids and visitors ? :)
Just use a normal shortbread recipe ; roll it into a ball ; stick a chocolate chip as the nose, silver balls as the eyes and koko crunch as the ears ! :)


stressing for my last paper. was a really tough semester.


celebrated by going to souled out with the foursome :)


packed considerably light for the trip ! :)


Happy Bunny CNY to you - I'm hoping this year will be a year of change and hard work for me ! :)


OOOH My first facetime recipient. :)

But for now, CNY preparations & Exams ! :)
