I would like to wish my family and friends a very Happy Chinese New Year. It's bye bye pig year and hello rat year in two hour's time. It'll be my second time missing out on CNY celebrations with my family. Thus, I'm feeling a bit sad and lonely.
Reunion dinner on the eve of CNY is what I always look forward to with mum's delicious cooking and the whole family reunited and eating together. Today, I had a solo meal of leftover indian curry with saffron rice for dinner as Keith had to go to Melbourne. How sad is that. Well the lack of festive spirit over here makes it easier and it'll just be another working day in Australia.
There'll be a CNY celebration in Melbourne Chinatown on Sunday 10th Feb so I'm hoping to go. I bought some pineapple tarts and love letters as comfort food for the festive period. I miss eating the sweet mandarin oranges or "lo kam" as the Chinese call it. I can easily eat 3 in a day if they're really sweet and juicy. Here's wishing Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone. Love, peace and prosperity throughout the year :)
P/S: On an exciting note, we had two fire alarms going off at work today. One was in the morning and the second in the evening. That took about an hour off work just standing in the field waiting for the firemen to give us the green light to go back into the building. Turned out to be a faulty cable. Well, at least everyone's safe and we know that the fire brigades here are very efficient as they got to the office swiftly on both occasions.
