啲人走晒返鄉下, 所以週圍都顯得水靜河飛, 每年也如是.. 加上父母兩者都係排行最大嘅長輩, 我哋都係等叔舅姨姑上門拜訪, 所以就連去親戚屋企拜年嘅機會都少之又少.. 每年就係死蛇爛鱔咁hae喺屋企冇乜嘢做, 所以有時都會覺得新年好悶架..
仲有兩日咋, 我仲未feel到新年囉其實~~
it is a tradition for people to go back to their respective hometown to celebrate CNY, i see friends and colleagues happily talking about going back hometown for CNY celebration, but everytime i can only listen.. maybe because of the "hometown" thingy that people can feel CNY coming, but for me, since i am living in this so-called "hometown" each and everyday, i really don't find a wee difference..people left for their hometowns, hence everywhere seem to be very quiet and empty, this is what happened during CNY every year.. both my parents are the eldest amongst their siblings, all aunts and uncles are supposed to come over to pay visit, thus it is just so rare that we have chances for relative house hopping.. and so being the same for every year, i really have not much to do at home during CNY other than eat/sleep/tv.. that is why i do sometimes think that CNY is quite a boring festive..
just two more days to CNY, but i still could not feel it~~
Well, you're not the only one whose CNY is not a big deal.
ReplyDeleteAt least you're spared the jams and hassle.
Aiyo, why so sad 1 during CNY. Be Happy la. Can go Pavilion, shop a bit, starbucks. etc....

ReplyDeletehehe, not only siblings but all my father's siblings' families.. they will all come to our house for the reunion dinner every year.. so imagine more than 30 people having dinner?? that is explosive!! haha.. well, just like what you mentioned, it's repetitive every year, so there's just nothing special to shout about :p those post headings?? err, to be precise, i actually write in chinese first then translate into english later.. so they actually tell what is in the content.. :)
csws:
haha, you have lots of hwan gook and jit mook over there maa.. i think maybe it's because you tend to appreciate things you hardly can get?? haha.. well, maybe tonight when relatives bombard our house for reunion dinner i would start to feel CNY lor.. na na na, you better set ready the menu and dishes you gonna cook for us later ah har.. :p
vincent:
haha, at least got two days of holidays for you to eat+sleep+tv, and get some extra income from angpow lor.. true??
wei you so free you better research on your coming trip la, i am looking at accommodation in BCN now, not cheap and the cheap, nice ones are already booked for the period, so you la la lum look at your lisbon and potentially paris one la ... i send you guys the link later, maybe KH can book since he's so free now ha ha
ReplyDeletecwsw:

of course i will help you mah, but you can contribute on the research also right, i will book ie pay bcoz it;s cheaper for them to charge my credit card than yours, and for BCN, i will shortlist a few for you guys to approve lor, but for LIS and destination no 3, hard for me to decide de mah, so you two concentrate on LIS and destination no 3 ok? We fengong hezuo mai le ye jong jong lorr hai mm hai?
ReplyDeletecsws:
ReplyDeleteof course i need to research and do my own part maa, your help is extra bonus for us, really appreciate that de.. and btw, please start to plan the different dishes throughout our stay jor, haha!! but these few days is CNY, don't have the mood to do all these of 煩惱 things lor, tomorrow i go back to work then i'll start de la.. :)
ha ha talk about dishes, all my 'lan sau songs' eat 1 week also can not finish la .. haha so LCLY horr? ha ah ... no problem la ... BTW i m learning to make 1 traditional Cantonese dish - it will be a surprise yor!
ReplyDeletecsws:
ReplyDeleteaiyoh, if all considered your lan sau song then cannot considered as lan sau already maa.. we want these lansau-er and lansau-est from you!! hahahaha.. so misterious meh learning that cantonese dish?? well, let's see arrr, you have two months time and make sure you succeed boh.. :p
haaa ... that dish i only tasted 3 times, once in HKG, once in Shun Duk, once in London, everytime I also leam leam lei de ... the Shun Duk one was the best, only last night I realised now it's no longer a 'Gu Fa' (ancient) dish anymore, it's very popular on HKG CNY banquet menu, that's how I got to eat it last night in London lor, but it's really 'hao gungfu' to make it .. i will try to master it la .. ha ha ,, what yuo want? then i choose closely my lansauest in each category la ..
ReplyDeletecsws:
ReplyDeletewah, sound like so geng like that boh that dish.. so is it one of the dishes that you emailed me yesterday ah?? hahaha.. aiyoh, i don't have special request lor, as long as you cook me nice nice things then i already feel very hang fook de maa.. hai mmm hai?? anyway, i only requested BBQ in your garden lor, happy maa we all le ye jong jong, hai mmm hai?? :)
no lar i havent started my training to make the dish yet, MNG will be my guinea pig la, but i need to have the mood to make baru will be successful de .. ha ha it's too complicated ... BBQ so easy, i can make home-made burger yao dim wah jek, can make vegeburger too ... you want msian style bbq. american style or british english or british indiannor mediterranian or HKG style siin? of hweuision siin ..ha ha
