Chinese New Year Celebrations

CNY suxs this year as 初一 falls on a Monday. That means..official public holiday is only until Tues. Our office gave us a force leave on Wed..so that means only 3 short days to rest and play. Unlike previous years, we did not gamble at all this year. Dun wan to waste any money ma..times are quite bad ..especially after my paycut which was announced shortly after CNY. Suxs..i hate this co. Wished they havnt bought over us.

Anyway back to happier things...cny celebrations!





Visited Chinatown on CNY Eve. Super packed as usual but less stalls and people buying. Another sign from the recession.

We also visited the wet market in Chinatown...they just reopen after renovation. I miss the food there especially this stall. They sell chinese porriage and chinese style sashimi.



Cleaner and brighter.


On our way down to the wet market section.


We bought some seafood there and spotted this super big fish! Would take months before we can finish it. Wonder how much it costs..


Deserted street in the morning. This street will be super packed hours later.





Our CNY decorations this year!





Got this from Chinatown..always liked lanterns like this.


Our pot of gold and goodies this year.


The only benefit of my office shifting to bugis area is..I am very near the dryfood wholesale market. So I can get cheap and fresh pork floss rolls...ate at least 1kg this year. Already decided next year this shall be the only snack i buy.




We recycled last year decorations ...dun wan to waste $.


Our house all done up and ready for the festive!

Reunion Dinner!

It has become our family tradition to eat this every year. We bought the chinese style sashimi to add more fish to our yu-sheng this year. Haha...no more digging for fish..we have abundance.


Tablefull of good food..we had crabs, fish, soup, prawns, tofu and pen cai made by me.
