Ha it's the New Year again.
Every year I remember my Chinese Grandma (my dad's mum) and her cooking and the reunion dinner and my cousins all coming for the dinner and the food and the bottled drinks. Kickapoo, Sarsi etc...those days this was all u got but heavenly lah cos too expensive for us but Grandma was rich so no problem and then the ang pow only 2 dollars lah and her children and in-laws she gave 10 dollars. Stingy not a word.
But she played cards with us during this time and I remember the good times I had with my cousins the Carlos family.
Eventho we never carried on the tradition as my dad said that it was not his dad that was Chinese, I carry on having some kind of makan-makan with my nieces.
Yesterday the Eurasian club had Chinese New Year lunch and I had yee sang with some good friends and nieces. Food was good. I enjoyed the salt fish with pineapple...yummmmmyyyy.
I also met old friends like Sally Ann Foley (still as pretty as ever) who I knew during my childhood days when I went to Ipoh to see the Carlos family and also Lilian De Costa a lovely girl who i knew since she was about 10 years old. Still looking as pretty as ever.
When I was young I made a mistake and she was so sweet to tell me to forget the past and let's get on with the future and I am so glad cos I really loved her family and had this big crush on her brother but unfortunately he has passed on and God Bless his soul.
Today I am having a really nothing to do day, no cooking and just lepaking at home.
Also had a snooze just now on the couch.
Well i guess this is for now. Till later,
Cheerio....
