HAha I'm back again to elaborate more from the last post.I just realised that in the last post all I talked about was food,but after all,I was in a real rush to get out of the house.On New Year's Eve,we merely had baked salmon,Nando's chicken and yummy fried snow peas with big crunchy prawns.And it was just our family.If we were back in singapore we'll be having that reunion dinner with my mum's side of family at my uncle's house.And have lots more food.

And last night would have been an annual gathering at my aunt's house-from my dad's side.This once a year gathering hosting SO many people that I don't know and it's just plain wierd.I only know my uncles,aunts,grandparents and cousins..The rest of the people are...just some other relatives.Hees.It's great seeing all my cousins though,we'll play blackjack and gamble with some change and it's heaps fun.OOo and I can't forget to mention that since there's SO MANY people there,we also get SO MANY red packets!Well,just hope we can go back to singapore when the next new year comes...

So..last night we were at Stirling Gardens and that place looked kinda like a golf course,a little hilly everywhere.Dinner was great,I practically stuffed myself... There was the loh-hei, rojak!!, our glutinous rice, lor-hiang, fish maw soup, mee siam, chicken and some really nice but oily pork dish.As for dessert(lols there's more to come!), we had konoku jellies(some made in the shape of a koi fish), "fruit cocktail"(which i didn't eat), and two yummy dessert dishes one with dried longans and some shredded beancurd in it,and the other with ginko nuts and shredded beancurd.Really good :D Everything was tasty.

Okay and the "celebration mood" is all over when school resumed again today.SHEESH.
It's the second day of CNY and we have to go to school!=( Today was also the first swimming lesson we have for this term.It's so stupid cos the swimming carnival was last monday and at that time we haven't even started swimming yet.So it's like week 4 now and we just have our FIRST swim.And gosh,I NEEED SOME PRACTICE!Lols all in all we did 16 laps-8 freestyle and 8 breaststroke and I'm pretty pumped out.For the first lap I was full of energy and I can feel my arms pushing the water firmly backwards but by the time I turn around to go for the second lap,I can only feel my bloody weak arms floating in the water.They don't even feel like they're pushing any water backwards man!And for freestyle,starting with the second lap my legs go:kick kick kick......(pause for 3 secs)....kick kick kick...(pause for 3 secs)....*realise the lazy pause*..kick kick kick kick kick kick...(still have to pause)............ Lols 0 stamina.

Back to food...Now we've also opened the CNY goodies like pineapple tarts, prawn rolls, sugee cookies(?) and love letters.All from Bengawan Solo in singapore I think.And I must say the pineapple tarts are especially nice-the pastry is so soft it sort of "melts" in your mouth and the filling is sweet and of a good texture too.Prawn rolls are always good-can't go wrong with those. My favourite.The sugee cookies were a bit wierd,mum said they were just made of sugar and butter and stuff,not much of a flavour in it.As for love letters,an old favourite...

Yup I gotta go now.We're having more dumplings for dinner tonight =D Every single dumpling is hard work and hand made!!So have to treasure it man..YUM
