Has everyone had fun during CNY..did your ang bao collection shrink, due to bad economy?
My CNY has been OK..reunion dinner was supposed to be ate at home instead of granny house because mum didn't want to trouble granny to cook a healthier dinner just for dad..but i managed to negotiate successfully with dad that he can only eat food that i put on his plate, so we went to gran's house instead..
my dinner was fusion food..we had salmon or foir gras salad for appetizer..then the main dishes were chinese style..we had steam crabs and tang hoon, hot & sour soup, steam fish, spring chicken, stir fried vegetables..dad had fish soup with rice...hehe :)
on the first day, i prepared healthy snacks like almonds and raisins for him to snack at granny house, since he's not allowed to eat any cookies and stuffs...and also he's not allowed to eat eggs, so fried rice minus egg equals fried rice with pumpkin..hehe :) my new creation..that night we played "in between" and gosh..i almost had heart attack from paying all the doubles..my wallet went empty..bro's angbao money was all on the table..
2nd day? stayed home..but uncle and aunts and granny came over..mum cooked popiah and steamboat..some of them played cards, and the kids played taboo..my gosh..you will be amazed at the vocabulary of ryan..i was totally stunned...kids nowadays...
tomorrow afternoon would have to accompany dad to go for post op review..everything seems OK since he came home, especially with ME watching over his every move and every inch and everything that he eats..guess his trousers would soon get loose from the weight loss..
MOOmOO!!
