Mid CNY

Chinese New Year comes and by now, it is the mid-week. Yesterday was ren-ri, which means everybody's birthday. JY and I have invited his colleagues to our place for a yu-sheng lunch. And a chance to try out new buy, swiss cheese foundue.

Bascially, all the local (especially the chinese) colleagues couldn't make it, as they have their own plans. So it was a lunch for the non-chinese and foreigners. And for most, it is their 1st time having yu-sheng and celebrating CNY. Quite a fun and enjoyable lunch. And not to mention the cheese foundue, it is nice, but the alcohol content is too strong, not to my liking. Well, at least this is the 1st time, I did all the cooking for the gathering, with little help from JY. :-)

In the evening, went to Aunt Evelyn place for another yu-sheng. We got a bit lost in pasir ris, as the bus route are so confusing. Well, we just made it in time for the last toss of yu-sheng for the day. We had 2 yu-sheng, one for the adults, and one for the younger generation, that's us :-)

After the toss and merry, we proceed to Nora's place for a traditional 'hakka lei cha' (vegetarian ones of course), prepared by Mum. Yummy. Wonder why mummy don't like it. Heard that it will help to cleanse the digestive system. Just in time, after one whole day of stuffing.
