Happy New Year!!!

Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy New Year to all of you out there!!! It's the start of yet another year in the Chinese Calender and this year, it's time for the CHICKEN to take centrestage!! Here's to a great year ahead for everyone, in terms of health, work, relationships and erm... soccer (go Man Utd!!)!!!


Chu Xi (CNY Eve) was the same as every year, with mum preparing a sumptuous dinner and 2 very welcome guests: "Myanmar" (the Myanmese dude who takes care of dogs near our house who has joined us for the 3rd year running), and Sharon (do i need to explain?). This year though, my sis managed to get something special for us..... check it out below...


"Lou Hei!!!"

Yup yup... we finally had a dish of Yu Sheng to start off our dinner!! Seems that Alvin (my sis' bf) has an aunty who sells these at affordable prices and we managed to get it at $28. Not too bad considering the size and taste! The nicely prepared Yu Sheng you see in the pic by the way, was largely due to my sis taking her time to place the items nicely on the dish (with the help of a pic in the article in Life of coz...). Anyway to top it all off, Sharon helped to say the Mandarin "cheng yus" while pouring the sauce and stuff over the dish while i translated it in English for the sake of everyone else on the table.... of coz i ALSO needed a li'l help from the newspaper article. :P


Dinner was brilliant of course, which is always the case whenever mum cooks and it was time for the night activities!! While "Myanmar" stayed back to catch Spider-Man 2 with the rest of my family, me and Sharon decided to catch a movie with the rest of the gang at Plaza Sing! It's been a really long time since we all went out together and it was great to be out with them for such a gathering once again.


"3 prosperous stooges"

Aside from these 3 stooges, Yaohan, Ivan, Shikai also made it to watch the movie, Million Dollar Baby, which i must say is an excellent show... i'll write up a review soon for it but if you've got the chance, go catch it if you can!

Anyway, as you can see, Wen was wearing his beloved new Man Utd jersey for the first time, complete with the number 7, the name of which is left to your own imagination. Amazingly, i felt like wearing a United jersey on the day too (as always) and we turned out looking more like a couple than me and Sharon... argh....


"United red is the IN colour this season..."

On the plus side, it's a sign of Man Utd's togetherness and that's really really crucial for the rest of the season if we ARE to catch up with moneybags Chelsea although it still looks like less and less likely. The 2 points dropped by Chelsea last weekend however, is a glimmer of hope and being a United fan, i ain't gonna give up on the title just yet!!


Last but not least, the moment i've been waiting for in months has finally arrived. The new Lancer Dancer has come to town just in time for the new year!! It's really a work of art and the colour and design is just absolutely mouth watering.... Kinda sad to say goodbye to Black Lancer though... It's been with me for years and has gone through so much with me... haiz.... Ah well, there's always time for a change though rite? And i'm sure this change'll be for the better!! A red car to bring in good luck for the new year loh!!!!


"A new Car for the New Year"

In the meantime everyone, enjoy the good food and angpaos yea.... i know I AM!!!
