I think I've lost my blogging touch already and the vibe . not feeling it . but stay on! I'll be here blogging still . considering there's motivation in the form of pressure for a loyal reader . hahaha

15 days of Chinese New Year [ Niu Year ] is finally over . honestly speaking, this year I felt so excited about CNY . well maybe because I did not went back to Sitiawan last year or probably Im just oh-so-excited to see all my nephews and nieces whom I just love & hate at the same time . In a very good way though . haha . I thought they are at that stage where they will be camwhores [ which I found out they really were ] so I brought my camera along . sadly . I had so much fun and left the camera rotting . I hate the fact that I was only able to spent 3 days there
One of the things I did though, was catching sand prawns [ many may not know what it is . but pics coming soon ] which is like a tradition for my dad and I if we were to be back in Sitiawan .

the beach

the sand prawn

the final product [ thats one of my niece pole-dancing behind ]
we were having barbeque as well which is different from traditional reunion dinner [ but we usually have reunion lunch anyway ] . it was enjoyable but hardwork in a way . controlling kids and fire at the same time . then it's all down to fireworks - I have a video of fireworks and kids and screaming and the 'wahs' of about 16 minute and thats gonna take a long time to load . so enjoy a not so beautiful pic

it sounds like war but I assure you there is no terrorist in Sitiawan . for now . haha
owh . and my uncle created an oasis-like area in his housing compound . I really enjoy that place right now . except for the 2 out of 3 noisy dogs they have . haha


am so gonna miss Chinese New Year and my relatives . and speaking of them . this past saturday I went back to Sitiwan again for my aunt's 80th birthday . there were actually some family politics going on and going back was a way of support to certain family members of the Ting family . I went back for the food and the company of my nephews and nieces . actually the MAIN reason was because my FAVOURITE niece is going back in my car! woohoo . I just love my niece oh-so-much . I will post her pictures soon .
well from internal family politics then conversation quickly became the real politics . so much so that my cousin is planning to run for the next election . haha . Im all for it since I can vote for the coming one
goodbye Chinese New Year 2009!
