chinese new year! haha..
a pretty quiet cny's eve, tho the days leading up to it were filled with prepping - me making konnyaku jelly for my neighbours, cookie baking, cracking and peeling gingko nuts, tying red pipecleaners around the plants at hme... etcetc...

mummy prepping the steamboat with granny watching on...

new moon abalone... dont really enjoy it but somehow its an inaugural part of our reunion dinner every year.

the whole spread! haha... this yr's yusheng was pretty good. bought the yusheng ingredients as usual from this specialty shop in geylang, the raw salmon from the japanese fish market place in parkway (whom the sashimi guy vv kindly specially cut a bit of salmon belly for me). the fishmeat-w pork inside-balls that i got frm geylang were surprisingly vv good too. yay! =)

parents enjoying the food!

lots of pics of some of the cny stuff in my hse. haha... according to mum all of them have some sort of significance, but i bet i'll nv get them hee =P
