yeah it's CHINESE NEW YEAR (CNY) !!!!!!!





this year's CNY will be particularly different for me as i am about to break my 19 years of tradition of how i use to spend CNY . This is how i spend CNY each year ..


It kicks of by being in the car

For approximately 2 1/2-3 hours to get to Yong Peng, Johor from KL

And all 6 families will come together in this shop house which is particularly significant to me.

Yeah it's called See Hai, shop lot which i have been spending 19 years of CNY there !
Through the years my late granddad has modified the house but it still has memories which cannot be erased. God has been great by blessing us with this wonderful place which can accommodate all of us ! Thank GOD!!

So each year there will be a massive reunion dinner on New Year's Eve
and my Talented Grandma will cook all the dishes which i will miss this year !! Oh wells i will be home next year !!!
