Filed in: Life Log — February 19th, 2009
Here are some pics taken at my home during the past Chinese New Year.
Tidbits. We almost finished all of these during the Chinese New Year!
We have steamboat dinner for every Chinese New Year’s eveMy dad was born in Chinese New Year. So, we celebrate his birthday along with Chinese New Year. This year is the 1st year that he got a birthday cake. Thanks to the newly opened “Secret Recipes” at Kluang Mall, Kluang.
Dad lights the candle
Dad and mom cut the cake together.
Dad bought a bottle of red wine from the Indonesia airport. We enjoyed it very much! Dad and mom were half drunk. 
Cheers!
After Chinese New Year’s eve dinner, it’s the Ang Paw Time! Every year, before giving out the ang paw, dad will give his speech to each of his children. Around 15 minutes.
Then followed by mom’s, which, usually, a much shorter speech.
Our Ang Paw in Dad’s hand
After that, starting from the youngest child, each of us will tell our parents about our revolution of the year before we can get the Ang Paw.
That’s the tradition of our family.
Surprisingly, we did not have to talk about our resolution this year! Lucky!
Every (and only) Chinese New Year, mom will cook the following dessert. Not sure what’s the name but it is very nice.
