Well, well, well, the Chinese new year is almost over. How did you spend yours? Mine was like food, FOod, FOOD and plenty of visiting, chit-chatting, catching up with old friends. Of coz not forgetting lots of angpaos, I mean me giving out. ;) After married ar, the only angpao I got are from hubby, mom, dad, in laws and grandma. I save all of em, hehe...me very thrifty one. Oh yea, do you still remember the sleepy BB video last year? I have got one of a similar one this year. Bb was like so sleepy while waiting for his daddy to grab him a lion head from Petaling street. Since then, daddy and me was force to be the lion while the lil one bangging on his drum. Grrr....so tiring. Mommy, stop laughing...Zzzzzz...

I prepared bb with traditional costume to attend CNY party in his kindergarten this morning. Everyone is required to bring CNY snack to share with friends there. I made him Ribena Konnyaku jelly and a box of Da Fa Fish snack with ang pao packet attached on each box. Hope he has a great time. He doesn’t know how to share yet. When I told him I will be making jelly for his friends, he said “mommy, make jelly for bb only”. *Rolled eyes* Here, I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year. Bb said: "Gong Xi Gong Xi, hong pao na lai" hehehe....

How did you spend your Valentine ’s Day? Hmm…as for me it wasn’t so much of a Valentine’s day. It was more of a mad cow CNY shopping craze again. I couldn’t really feel the mood but could see many young couples carrying beautiful teddy bears with flower queuing up outside restaurants waiting for their romantic meal. We did have a dinner but it wasn’t romantic…hehe, went for Johnny’s steamboat (potong steam) instead to avoid the crowds. After dinner, went gift shopping for daddy’s clients and lingered around Jusco until 12am. Yea, they open until midnight. Later we headed for Old Klang Rd to grabbed cartons of mandarin oranges and dry meats. Phew! *Pout lips*. That’s how I spent my Valentine’s day, CNY has overpowered the cupid this time round. But but but, I was so glad to find a pleasant surprise from my son. A card he brought home from school. Sweet! Valentine's card from BB, Update: I got another surprise last night after meeitng up with 1+2mom. Went home and saw something on

A back-dated post. It was the most awaited festival of all for devotees of Nine Emperor Gods. Devotees celebrate the nine-day festival with a strict vegetarian diet. One reason why they are so popular is its magical power of answering prayers and grant wishes. I have heard of its power since young but only recently have I had the opportunity to visit the temple. I decided to drag my family along to visit one famous Nine Emperor Gods Temple in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. We arrived at the temple in the afternoon. It was a gloomy day, the sky filled with ashes burnt from paper money nearby. I could hear birds chirping in cages.

There were beggers near the entrance asking for money. We passed through a long narrow passage that filled with stores selling beautiful cakes in the shape of tortoises embellished with Chinese best wishes words. There
