... and it still is Chinese New Year.


its that time of the year once again. Chinese New Year. a time of celebration with family and friends, some of whom you only see once a year. and with the chinese especially, everything revolves around food. food is a universal language of love especially in my family. even with language as a huge barrier between the grandfolks and the grandchildren, it seems as though the mention of food just breaks it all. even though we don't have much in common, its always my grandaunt's deliciously home cooked meals, home baked cookies, etc, that brings the enitre family altogether. lets just put it this way, the only thing i can think of saying to my grandaunt that will make her happy, or understand me, is to compliment on how good her cooking is.
and of course, there were the aunties and uncles who would keep going on about how much you've grown over the years.. some even ask the insane question on when i'm getting married! ... no boyfriend how to get married?! madness. anyway, just to confess and let off something thats been on my chest, my appetite is giantnormous!!! i'm not sure if its because of the stress or the festive season. i've been eating so much its not funny. haii. i'm worried.
Family pictures everyone!
