RED festival :D

Happy Chinese New Year people!!

So yea, it's the first day of CNY, and yet i'm still dealing with tonnes of ass-es T^T

This festive is all about gatherings and wishes, and angpows for sure :D

Fireworks


and

firecrackers


are all around.

I know firecrackers are strictly forbidden, but somehow in Sabah, cops don't really bother. You can really feel the CNY atmosphere throughout this whole festival.

However, this festive is like the worst dream for dogs, especially mine.
I can feel like it's the end of the world for my dog, Horlick when it's exact 12am, signifying the first day of CNY.

He was extremely nervous, keep finding place to hide, under luggage somemore ._.


despera-dog ._.


moodless ):



Please be considerate while having fun! (:

Food & its trad.

First of all,Happy Chinese New Year !



Last time,fishermen along the coast of guangzhou traditionally celebrated Renri by feasting on their catches on that day.Renri,is the seventh day of chinese new year.

Those catches are now known as Yee Sang,Yu Sheng which is a chao-zhou style raw fish salad.

Basically,family and friends gather around and toss this dish with chopsticks.As they toss,they chant auspicious wishes out loud at the same time to mark the start of a prosperous new year.

It is believed that the higher one toss,the greater the fortune! :D

Moving on to the japanese,



Ramen is the fourth most eaten food in japan & the japanese do take their ramen seriously.
A bowl of ramen holds a house-made soup, springy noodles, the chef's own tare (a mix of soy sauce, sugar and rice wine to flavor the soup) and exactly six traditional toppings. The wait at top Tokyo ramenyas can be up to three hours.

Did you know that slurping is expected at these eateries?Loud,sloppy slurping is not only tolerated,but encouraged?

It is a japanese tradition to slurp ramen & drink the soup out of the bowl.


Picture shown above is cha soba noodles.Cha as in green tea.

I had this while I was still in Sabah with my mum before I came here.
Apparently,that was the first and last time my mum's gonna have this hahaha.
Soba noodles are served cold with a raw quail egg.
So you just pour the quail egg into the cold broth and then pour it onto the noodles and slurp away.

Then you have the jews.



Soofganiot (doughnuts) and latkas or livivot (potato pancakes) are traditional fried and dairy food eaten during Hanukkah.

So why fried?
Fried food reminds them of the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days when the Maccabees purified and rededicated the holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Dairy on the other hand because it is often eaten on Hanukkah to remind us of the story of the Jewish heroine, Yehudit (Judith).

Yehudit saved her village which was under siege by the Syrians. The Syrians were trying to starve the Jews so they would surrender.Thus,in memory of this story, it has recently become a tradition to eat dairy food on Hanukkah.

CNY Heat! xD

Part 1:

I went to shop for CNY with my sister 4 days ago. Really tiring but satisfying :D
We went to Times Square and shopped from 8 till 9 something. I'm so in the CNY mood!! xDD

A stall located somewhere near the entrance.


Me and my sis waited for her boyfriend for like 1hour 1 and a half hour to get to Times Square from Mid Valley ._.

(behind the scene)
So my sis' bf was sorta lost his car in Mid V's carpark. It was already 11.30pm when he reached times square. And all of the sudden, he came out from the car, and requested me to drive!!
I was shocked like this -> :O

I mean, even though I've held my driving license for around 8 months, my driving skill is still considered bad not too good.

Too bad my sis' boyfriend vomited twice after my 'drive-and-brake' way of driving. I was just not used to the brake system of the car :X

Although the journey was not too smooth, but I still managed to reach Suriamas safely. Thank God!


Part 2
To be Continued.. (:
