chinese new year is always the same for my family. perhaps its because i have a really small family. anyhow, i think i love my family's reunion dinner. very different from many families. i doubt there would be a family with the same reunion style as mine.here it goes. newspaper layed out in my grandparent's super long kitchen. only 3 families present. the poh's. the ramasamy's and the poh/lee family. plus my grandparents and another aunt all crowdin round the newspaper, on the floor. the usual seafood beehoonmee noodles, traditional pranaken ponte, kiam chai soup and chicken curry plus some rice and french loaves in the middle. den, we will pass the food round, and chiong for food if its running out. thats about it. very unique i think. others would be having steamboat, restaurants and all while we sit in a kampong kitchen on the floor. but i like it. i like this tradition of the POH'S. visiting is only to 3 houses. granny's, and 2 grandaunts. and at every house, the only difference is the house and food. for the people would be the same for all 3 houses. cool eh? my small little family. haha. so, from here, u guys should noe how little ang pao collections are every year. for today. today marks the first day of my school holidays after CNY. and. it sucks. home alone. all day. boo! boring.... and when im alone, i dont seem to eat as much. cant finish one portion ofa meal. i dont like being alone. dont noe how im gonna survive these 7 weeks. ARGH.thats all folks.
