Hello again! Hope everyone's CNY was great. Mine's pretty quiet, more of family gatherings. We have a very large extended family (12 siblings on dad's side and 7 on mom's; now you do the math) and CNY is the only time when you get to see almost everybody.
On the 2nd day of CNY, we visited 7th Aunt's house like we always do. She prepared a huge meal for us - 10 dishes and 2 types of soups with steamed rice. Not to mention the softdrinks, chinese tea and wines served too. Before and after the meal, we were all munching on crisps, cookies and light savoury snacks that make the CNY platter.
How not to put on more weight?? OK OK, I shan't turn obsessive on the topic of weight management again, otherwise Daddy Nick might publish a chubby picture of me back in college days.
Yesterday we went to 1U to catch a CNY movie. It's almost a self-made "tradition" for us to catch a CNY movie every year. There were 3 to choose from, Fearless, My Kungfu Sweetheart and The Shopaholics. We went for the latter. Although quite exagerated, at one point it did bring tears to my eyes. It's a good love story amidst all the comedy. Recommended if you need a light movie without the logic.
Anyway, apart from the family gatherings, friendly visits, sumptuous meals and mandarin oranges, I also look forward to watching the CNY TV advertisements. The 2 that I like this year are:
1. Petronas - the one with the old ladies talking about their sons. Love it!
2. Perodua - the one with the kids playing lion dance.
If you haven't seen them, do try to look out for them. Very meaningful.
I have the next 2 days to enjoy the remaining CNY break...and then it's back to work on Friday. Hope everybody's CNY was colourful and enjoyable!

Gong Xi Fa Cai. I like the CNY ads too. Pretty good and meaningful.
Petronas always got good ads during the festive. Wonder who did their ads ?
i like the one on TV8? can't be sure coz saw it at 1 Utama. It's about the grandma who wanted everything to be red during Chinese New Year(must hide all black stuff), and fainted when the grandson brought back an African girlfriend.
leonard, gong xi, gong xi. some ads realy tug at your heart, don't they?
foodcrazee, i'll take it upon myself to find out who their ad agent is! hehe. but big firms like them usually have more than 1 agent.
nick, i remember seeing that one but not this year. probably a repeat from year before. btw, check out the african pics i took. gives you different perspective on africa.
