Have been really busy. Sigh!
Lots of work, meeting, conference call, traveling.... already into March 2006, that was fast. I still remember the time when I started to blog in Dec 2005 and now already past 1/3 of 2006. Life is so short.
According to the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia…. At Chinese New Year a reunion dinner is held on New Year's Eve where members of the family, near and far, get together for celebration. The New Year's Eve dinner is very large and traditionally includes chicken. Fish (魚, yú) is included, but not eaten up completely (and the remaining stored overnight), as the Chinese phrase 年年有魚/餘; (nián nián yǒu yú, or "every year there is fish/leftover") is a homophone for phrases which could mean "be blessed every year" or "have profit every year", since "yú" is also the pronunciation for "profit". A type of black hair-like algae, pronounced "fat choy" in Cantonese, is also featured in many dishes since its name sounds similar to "prosperity". Hakka will serve "kiu nyuk" 扣肉 and "ngiong tiu fu" 釀豆腐. Because the things sound alike, the belief is that having one will lead to the other, like the old child's aphorism "step on a crack, break your mother's back".
Today we had an early reunion dinner at the Pariss International Buffet Restaurant @ Tampines mall with my family. This is the first time we had one outside. At least my mom won’t have to work so hard to prepare the dinner for us. I think they enjoyed the dinner but I still prefer the home make steamboat which has the CNY and get-together atmosphere. I hope we can do the steamboat thingy next year.
What I did this New Year? Nothing!! Was that good? I stayed at home all day... erh.. watched 3 DVDs, eat lots of junk foods and even took "2hrs" afternoon nap :-)
Actually I wanted to do some Chinese New Year Shopping but I'm too lazy to get out plus the streets are full of people so I decied to give a miss. Anyway I have a list of items to buy for this Chinese New Year *muahaha*...who should I send my wish list to?
Wow... I received my first comment. It is from a very surprise and experience blogger! I'm so honored. Thank you for the encouragement! I'll try but I'm not good at writing.. actually lazy should be the correct word. I know it is a lousy excuse.... I'll change (My resolution for year 2006!!)

This is my first blog... The inspiration of setting up my own blog came from Mr Miyagi's posting O Christmas Tree
Christmas and Boxing Day was never the same after Tsunami happened (26 Dec 2004). It took away my beloved galfren's life.. It been really tough to lost someone so sweet , lovely, kind, no temper... That year, I gone through the toughest & saddest New Year.. I've to attended her wake. It was like it all happened just yesterday. Till today, it still hurt when I think about it. sigh!
Cheer up Pooh bear.. give yourself a bear hug and be happy.
