Since I am doing reduced course load this term, other than cleaning up the house (da shao chu), I had some extra time for cooking and experimenting. Here are some stuff that I did before CNY.
paper cutting
I fried the keropok that He Wei gave
and again, my pineapple tart didn't turn out to be what I expected :(
a pamelo from asian market
my first time pealing the pameloThis year, we decided to have a Chinese New Year Eve dinner.

Roasted pork
Red wain chicken
from the front and turning clockwise--roasted pork, spring rolls, red wain chicken, vegetables, prawn and omelet wrap and lastly yee sang at the middle (photo taken by Xeon)

We got a chance to catch up with each other while savoring the delicious food. It has been a while since all of us get together and chat. The food was awesome. my favorite was the fish...gotta ask for the recipe.
Next, it was mahjong time!

Mel!!!!! (I wanna call you like the way Yuen King call you)
I didn't know that you are reading my blog too :P
haha...the yee sang...yea...I made it...gotta make it myself since I can't find it in the store and really wanted to eat...hehe...
so, how was your cny celebration in malaysia?
i can't even rmb how yuen king used to call me anymore, lol.
cny at home was fab, all except for the part where i was sick for an entire week, not being able to open my mouth big enough to stick even a small fishball in. lol. it was a wisdom tooth problem. went to the doctor's 8 times in the 17 days i was home. had two of them extracted too. now how fun is that! anyhow, that aside, i had a wonderful time and actually got pretty homesick after coming back. was seriously considering going home for good at one point until voonseng talked me out of it. haha. but all is back to normal now. =)
so how did the graduation/visa thing go? hope all went well.
take care!
mel
ps: looking at the length of this, i should've written you an e-mail instead. =)
