A different CNY
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
This year's chinese new year is so different. For the very first time, i went cny visiting without my parents,it's only me and my elder sis. And because we were the only people left in our house, we had to do all the household chores. My sister really found it a chore, but i think it's a great chance for me to practise my housekeeping skills right before my china trip. Since the both of us can't drive yet,we travel by cab almost everywhere we went. The total cab fare added up to $54.80. Damn expensive lah! And we poor thing had to fork out the cab fare ourselves. Mum forgot to pass me my allowance before she left for china. I think i'm going broke cause of this!
Anyway, the 2 best thing i look forward to during cny is collecting angpaos & gambling. I don't gamble alot, my bets were usually small and i played Blackjack most of the time. I don't mind mahjong, but must find khaki first. Today's dinner was settled,or cooked by my sis and I. It was not very sumptuous,but i'm glad we made a meal ourselves. We actually don't get to use the kitchen that often when mum was around at home,cause she would normally shoo us away or let us watch her cook. Haha..now we have the freedom to cook whatever food we like,but i guess this is all done within our means. After all, i were are not celebrity chefs who can cook different types of dishes. Okay, it's time to brush up my cooking skills. But first, i think i should get a really good recipe book. Yeah,probably by the time i am china,i can cook for my friends.
