Same post, brand new year!

Last year, I wrote the below in LiveBlog Facebook (which I have since abandoned) in my anticipation of Chinese New Year.  

Here's a copy & paste of it. I feel exactly the same so why not let you read it. Enjoy!

People......Chinese New Year is next week! (Well in this case, it's the day after tomorrow!!!)

WHoooHoooooooooooooooo! My fav time of the year, any year!

Why my CNY rocks and I love it love it love it! 

1) Family gatherings - Having a really big and really fun-loving and funny extended family just makes it so merry! Relatives near and far all spending time together. I’m sure I’d be laughing and playing a lot!

2) Steamboat - OMG. The prawn, the home-made fishball, the delicious soup, the everything! Glorious steamboat.

3) Ang Pao’s - Need I say more. 

4) Cookies - It’s not everyday that I can have like, 582 different kinds of cookies right in my living room. (Okay I’m obviously exaggerating, but sure you know what I mean)

5) Puak Kiao (edited: freaking puak kiao!) - What is CNY without this? LOL. Besides, it gives us the chance to bond, right? Teeheee :)

6) Non-stop mahjong sessions - It’s so addictive!

Besides all that I’ve listed of course, CNY is awesome because of its aura,ambience, mood and even the scent 

(of Mandarin oranges plus red packets? Erm, can’t find a better combo).

Ahhh..GONG XI FA CHAI!

Have a good year ahead, my friends! A good good one!

May you have a happy happy Year of Ox!
