CNY Backdated stuff : Sunday - 29 Jan
Sunday: Gong Xi Fa Chai day
Woken up early early early in the morning by: voices of my parents, the barking dogs, the chicken, the firecrackers, the insects, etc. Furthermore, I dun have a room for myself and resorted to a little space at the smaller living room. 1 room occupied by my eldest bro & family. 1 room for CNY stuff and parents. 1 room for my 2nd bro & family. Anyway got to wake up early for the traditional home-cooked vegetarian dishes breakfast; its rice with dishes. Relatives stated coming at around 10plus. It’s so crowded that at times, you need to move around...dun talk about finding a seat… These are relatives that I meet almost 1 year once…So, normally, the conversation will be revolved around what we’ve been doing lately.
The afternoon sun in Gopeng (Ipoh) is exceptionally super hot...I dun know why…So, just hide inside the house most of the time and too lazy to look for frens. Anyway, went shopping with my eldest bro. Din buy anything…really can’t find anything. The branded stuff there are the same price as here or even more expensive. Bro ordered a birthday cake from Secret Recipe (my niece share the same birthdate as mine). Had dinner at this shop that is famous for their various types for fried noodles. But it’s damn expensive especially for Ipoh standard. 1 plate of fried bee-hoon (the portion is equivalent to about $5 here) can cost about MYR18 there. We had chicken feet cooked in black sauce with herbal taste (its super nice though I dun really eat it before), 2 types of noodles, bean sprout & steamed octopus. But ok lah..it’s really really THAT good. Came back home…rested a while and went out to meet friends; the usual remaining gang. Not all came back though. Chit-chatted till 12 plus… and this bloody Keong went on to announce it’s my birthday liao…
