Chinese New Year mood is approaching

Chinese New Year is around the corner.

I am loving Chinese New Year and looking forward to CNY songs. I will play my CNY CDs on my PC while I am using it. I am looking forward to CNY songs to be Air on FM 972!!!

Despite being 1 year older, well for the children, I am 1 year wiser, coz getting more and more white hair, Duh!

CNY foodie indulgence, yeah yeah yeah, but cannot eat so much!!!

I am loving the family bonding, steamboats dinner, loving the relatives and friends visiting, loving the places like Chinatown and Garden By The Bay, the flowers, the red and everything. I am loving the TV program on CNY eve!

Do you like CNY?

Mooncake festival 八月十五中秋节 - 2015

The day of Mooncake Festival 2015. Affected by the haze, we could see "Red moon". Round, but reddish and not bright. Even though that is so, but everyone is feeling happy for it's a day of reunion fun.

27/9/2015,  八月十五中秋节。 今年的中秋出现 "血月"， 红色不亮， 被烟霾 害的。虽是如此， 但是大家还是玩得很开心 ：）

Little Guilin

Have not been to China for quite sometimes already. Actually I like the places of interest in China. They were very natural and beautiful.

Went for breakfast one morning and we passed by Little Guilin. Decided to stop by for a while to admire the scenery. This is also the place where we have our outdoor wedding photo a decade back.

Making Teochew mooncakes this year 2015

I have always wanted to learn how to make Teochew mooncake with the flaky skin. Finally I tried my hands on them. The making process was quite laborious but fun too. This year my boy helped with the making.

Check these out. These are Teochew pumpkin mooncakes. (I did not attempt the Yam filling because I have a large pumpkin at home and I wanted to finish up all the pumpkin).

New members to aquarium

 

Our Red platy died few days ago, so fast... after 2 months only.

We decided to get another molly in replacement, so we want another platy, and this 2 platies.
We also bought 4 Cloud Tetras ( White Cloud Mountain minnow.).

Cloud tetras were named after a boy after he discovered such fish in a stream in 白云山, China

1 platy is silver and another has the colour of goldfish, their name: 小辉 and 小金. The batch of cloud tetra has no individual name, but they were called the "Clouds" (Neon tetras were called "Neon Neon".)

I wil try to take more pictures of Clouds tetras.
