CNY: The 'F' Factor

The first thing that barges into my mind when anyone mentions Chinese New Year is

FOOD 


"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
~ Hippocrates



 

And it gets better.


JUNK FOOD.
Bliss.

WARNING: Don't you DARE mention weightgain OR I'LL POUND YOUR FACE IN.
*angelic smile*

Of course, what joy is there in eating if there's no one to eat with?

FAMILY!

  


 

 
 Especiallypickycousinsandbracefacedsisters.
:D

Cousin: What's this?
Me: Abalone.
Cousin: Eee, I don't want it. Do you?
Me: Heck yea!
Bracefaced Sister: Darn...I can't bite it.
Me: *smiles*

If it's not food that comes to your mind, then it's got to be the
 
FIRECRACKERS/FIREWORKS



  

 

You just have to love it!

Reminds me of the one time when we were at a family fireworks bonanza.
We had bagsful of fireworks/crackers piled on a chair.
The prelude started off with sparklers.
One amazing sparkler managed to wriggle free from my cousin's clinches and found its way back to where it came from - I'm guessing, for reunion - its pack of 12.
Thus, the inevitable...

 

White chair turned ash black!

Good old days. :)


Last but NEVER least, the

FELLOWSHIP

 

  
[Dear cousin Leonard's birthday on Valentine's Day]



  
Dad's foot, gladly ruining the picture.

 

  

Not just fellowship with family, but also

FRIENDS

 

Okay fine, I didn't go for the gathering in the picture above..because I left with my other cousins to Singapore.

Feltsoleftout.

But thanks to John Sung, I was photoshopped in SUPERBLY dressed andslightly'midgeted'! HAH!

So yes, I'm going to pretend that I went.
It was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. :P


Everything about Chinese New Year is awesome

EXCEPT

 the weather.

 

I showered four times a day and still felt I needed more.
