On the first day of Chinese New Year, there wasn’t any angpow for me, there wasn’t any relatives over at my place, there wasn’t any prawn crackers or kuih kapit or mom’s pineapple tarts and my family wasn’t around as well.

But thank god I still have friends. I wasn’t going to be spending chinese new year alone and David and I got all emo because we are spending cny away for the first time. So we organized a pot luck gathering. Look how it turn out to be:

There was so much food! I was worrying that there was not going to be enough food for everyone. Just look at that!

There was Chik Kut Teh(David & Matt), Fried Chicken(Rachel), Cake & Roast Veggies(Lisi), Beef Stew(Jeanette), Fruit Salad with Ice Cream(Pam n Chris), Red Bean Dessert(Wei En), Fried Popiah and potato something..(Yin & Shaun), Asam Chicken,Mixed Veg, Tomato n minced pork(ME!!), Tom Yam & Tong Yuen (Tee & Bernard) and so much more. Don’t know who bring the rest already. There was chips,kacang,some kuih, beers from Ezra & David, whiskey from Matt and so on. Sorry if I miss out anyone or mismatch the food with anyone. It was absolutely yummy and everyone went back home with a full stomach. *BURP*

Chinese new year is not chinese new year without gambling.

There was not one but two set of gambling session going on the same time. One on the floor and one on the dining table. Hardcore!

Proof of molestation and harrasment by David. He is bi-curious and he attacked me during the group picture. Everyone can be my witness.

Want to thank everyone again for bringing such delicious food, helping out in everyway and most importantly being present on that day. =) U guys make me so happy.

At the end of the day. It was really a great chinese new year
celebration. Everyone left with a filled belly, some with heavy pockets
and some broke, some high and what not. But most important of all
everyone went back home with a smile on their faces. At least I know I
did.

Note: Eugenie thanks for the place. Nothing was damage or dirty. The house is exactly the way it is. No need to worry yah! Muaks!
