Chinese New Year

Hi guys, 2 more days to officially end this Chinese New Year celebration. After a "long" break during this CNY, now it's time for us to start blogging again..

Had a great holidays to spend some quality time with family considering the fact that most of our time are not spent at our hometowns. It's been 6 years staying in Kuala Terengganu. Never dreamed that we'd be staying here for such a long time in such a place where you can hardly find any sort of entertainments. It will normally be a dead town when the clock strikes 10. Kind of spooky at times..

Meet the dead town

Digress. Back to the CNY celebration.

Love the feeling of reuniting with all the family members when it's so hard to make it after the children have started studying or working in other states. It may be nothing for those who are lucky enough to have home-cooked dishes everyday, but for me, I truly appreciate every single time with my loved ones. Packing house, decorating garden, preparing dishes were somehow enjoying when you know you're not doing it alone. I used to ABHOR household duties, especially when it is 'commanded' by mum. Would start cursing and drag the heavy ass up to work with hatred. This bad attitute was carried for years until I moved out from the house. Realized that no one has the responsibility to look after oneself especially when it comes to houseworks. This is where initiative and awareness of obligations take place. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I'm growing unwittingly, though it's slower as compared to others in my age group I'm happy with it.

As usual, this CNY was enriched by LED decorative lights, fireworks, firecrackers, and lion dance.


The extra activity we did this year was movie watching. Watched 3 movies during the CNY (2 were with the family).

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans


The story line was ok, kind of violent and bloody in some scenes though.

All's well that Ends well II


Comedy. So so story line. Recommended source of entertainment to kill your time if you want a good laugh.

Red Cliff II



Historical-based. Worth-watching if you do not expect the authenticity of the story.
