Chinese New Year 2010

Hello! I am back in UKM already. Here is the post bout my Chinese New Year celebration last month. I know this is very very very de late. I am sorry. Was caught some with work and some other things. Minta maaf ya!

I went back on the 11th Feb, three days before CNY. There was nothing much to do until the eve of CNY itself. Like every other year, me and my family goes to the night market which is only available during the eve of CNY eve which sells all the foodies for the reunion dinner on CNY eve. Confusing? :P

The crowded night market at Foh Sang.

CNY (3rd Day) : 16 Feb 2010

Day our with cousins at 1Borneo.

FIRST TIME any lion dances troupe reaches my house. And yes I am excited!

I enjoyed my CNY celebration this year. As a matter of fact, I didn't even remember it was Valentine's Day. My CNY mood overwhelmed my lovey dovey mood. Nonetheless, it was still great to get together with everyone though I didn't get any chocolate nor any bouquet of flowers *hint hint*. What bout yours? How was your CNY aka Valentine's Day celebration? I hope yours was as fantastic as mine. After all, I believe it is the company you have with you that matters more than anything else. All the makan-makan and laughter sessions, they were amazing. But without your love ones, they are pretty meaningless. Agree? :)
