I better brag post about our Chap Goh Mei celebration before it become too stale. Chap Goh Mei is the considered as the last day of Chinese New Year Celebration and also "Chinese Valentine Day".
On this day, if you did have enough of Mandarin Oranges or Bananas to eat..or maybe too stingy late to buy some...you can always go to the nearby Lake Garden and scoop up some of these fruit. Heard that this only happens in Malaysia.
Yup...on this day, those single girls will throw mandarin oranges with their phone number written on the oranges into the Lake. The guys who are single or pretend to be single will go and scoop up the Mandarin oranges. And latest trend is that some guys will also throw Banana into the Lake with their phone numbers written there...hmmmmm.....
Nah....I didn't get to join in the fun. Underage and also it was a school night. Instead, we just had boring dinner at home.
Mamarazzi cooked Soy Sauce Chicken with Wood or was it black fungus. Wokay la...I like the gravy la.
Made some assam prawns out of the leftover prawns from the open house .
And mixed vegetables out of the steamboat leftover.
But lucky me.....
Supposed to open this box of yee Sang during the Open House but there was just too much food.
Since it was the last day of Chinese New Year, papa said hentam open it up and eat la.
Wah Small Kucing, so happeninglah your Chap Goh Mei day, got yee sang to lou. Cannot everyday wash shoes, Mamarazzi will be so tired and the shoes also cepat rosak.
ReplyDeleteShoes dirty have to wash lor else cikgu will scold
DeleteALL boys get their shoes dirty. It is a ritual of boyhood. Means you are healthy and playing a lot. But maybe it is good for you to clean them sometimes. Sad that it is the last day of celebration...
ReplyDeleteLast day of celebration but there is always next year :)
DeletePoor thing! I hated washing my shoes too. So so so boring. :D
ReplyDeleteboring but still have to wash else kena cikgu scold/punish leh
DeleteLet me recall what I ate on CGM.. Oh yeah, lou tong sik farn only.. Boiled a pot of soup the day before, then on CGM, came home boil rice and steam egg, thats all.. No go mi house, everyone working, jam somemore..
ReplyDeleteABC ka? At least got good an healthy soup
DeleteLovely dinner at home.
ReplyDeleteGood boy, washing own shoes. I think I should get my girl to wash her own now. ;)
got to lo coz mamarazzi said beh tahan my shoes so dirty daily
DeleteOh what a feast, all so yummylicious
ReplyDeletequite a lot of eat there :p
DeleteYummy post, and that sure is a good boy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirsty
Deleteyeah.. I actually think it's a brilliant idea for the ladies to throw mandarin oranges while the guys throw bananas.. like that then can target correctly lah.. because if all throw oranges, then they will also grab some that are of the same gender, then they will throw that away and there gone one chance for that person.. Mamarazzi didn't go Amcorp Mall that day?? the lake garden beside has this throw orange banana activity every year leh~~ of course, Uncle SK heard but never go la :D
ReplyDeleteNo wonder la Banana price shot up during CNY. LOL
DeleteOrange throwing at Amcorp mall lake have become annual event ah? didnt know that
hehe.. pandai Mamarazzi to cook one nice meal out of all those leftover, hehe!! and really looks good woh, like she went to the market in the morning to get those studfs to be cooked at night only.. haha!! Small Kucing likes the gravy lor, so this indirectly means he no "yan seong" the chicken and the black fungus is it?? so bad la~~ :p
ReplyDeleteelse sayang wor...how?
Deletehehehe.....ya lor dun like the mok yee
aiyoh so nice of Uncle TM to give a box of Yee Sang to Mamarazzi leh.. now Uncle SK wonders if Mamarazzi scolded Small Kucing while they were tossing the yee sang or not?? because when tossing, sure get excited, and when too excited we tend to mess with the tossing and in the end half of the yee sang landed on the table!! haha.. and Mamarazzi gotta clean up the mess~~ :p
ReplyDeletetarak scold coz me very "si Mun" when tossing yee sang LOL
Deletepatutlah Small Kucing gotta wash his own shoes lah.. like that only he will be responsible to keep his shoes clean and not taking for granted somebody else will clean for him even if he dirties the shoes.. yes, must make him wash and paint himself, and I guess next time his shoes will be so clean that he only needs to wash it once a week :p
ReplyDeleteIf only...........
DeleteHonestly, until now I hate washing shoes..haha.
ReplyDeletehahahahahaa
DeleteGood morning small kucing,

DeleteI remember there was a game where we form circles then each person must take turns to jump towards the person next to him/her and step on his/her shoes. Whoever's shoes got stepped on will be "out". I forgot what this game is called.

DeleteMamarazzi said her school days usually shoes will be dirty by friday. if got spot check, classmates will take white chalk and "color" their shoes.
I agree with Ginny's comment. It is true that all boys get their shoes dirty. :) This is part of enjoying life.
ReplyDeleteOver here teachers very strict. During assembly they will check the cleanliness and tidiness of school uniform .
DeleteLol, throw banana into the river? hahaha! What the. I remember when I have to 'paint' my shoes back when I was in school. Malas. Let it be dirty. XD
