Lately, I have not spend most of my time with my family. I have dedicated too much time for work, Orange and myself. I rarely have some conversation with Dad these days. In fact, I feel kinda guilty. So I decided to give him a gift on this special day for daddies. Every time thinking of buying present for Dad is a headache, and ended up buying bars of chocolate for him.
I remembered last Christmas, I told him I wanna buy him a car MP3 modulator so that he can listen his favorite songs without wasting CD for burning purposes. Now is the good time for me to present Dad this new gadget Couldn’t find any suitable present paper in my room, I used the Christmas present paper I bought last year. teehee~ Read more…
Also known as “Wesak”, is a day marking “The birth, enlightenment and passing away of Buddha“. It’s also informally called “Buddha’s birthday”. Today, 9th May, is Vesak in Malaysia (GMT+8). It’s a public holiday too. Buddhists were busy going to the temple this morning, to celebrate the festival.
April 18, today is LeeChien’s birthday. However, she is not in Kuching anymore. That’s sad, because we cannot celebrate her birthday together with her. Last year, I bought a chocolate cellphone hanger and post it to her. This year, I still need to post the present to her. Too bad, we couldn’t pass the present to her with our own hands.
Besides the first day of Chinese New Year, Chap Goh Meh 十五暝, or literally known as the “Fifteenth Night” is an important date for those who celebrate Chinese New Year. It also marks the end of Chinese New Year celebration. (Yes, it’s celebrated for 15 days.) Family members will gather together to have another reunion dinner. Shops will be closed earlier for the celebration. I had my reunion dinner with my family on the day before Chap Goh Meh, which was a Sunday. I think most of us celebrate it on Sunday because it’s a Sunday, less hassle.
Year Cake
Another thing that I would like to mention is the Nian Gao 年糕 or new year cake. It’s an essential food during the festival. I don’t know how its made, its very sweet and normally we will fry it with flour or egg. Read more…
