Chinese New Year in US

The Gang

The Chinese New Year dinner passed like 5 days ago, but cny is suppose to last for quite awhile rite? It doesn't feel like it here though! The Ang Mos were really nice; some wished us happy cny and some even learned more about it... Mandarin is becoming almost popular with certain ang mos now~ (Yes Yes i know! I still don't know how to speak that donkey dialect!! GGGGrrrr!)

One good thing about the dinner..the BEST thing of all...IS THE YUMMY FOOD!!! MMMMMMMMMmmmmm Seriously! OMG.. I've only been away for a month, but eating curry chicken was like heaven! I loved everything...except the barley and steam fish! I even loved the plain white rice!! I gobbled down 3 full plates of curry chicken, rice, okra (ladies fingers), potatoes and kurma chicken!! MMMMMMMMmmm~ After that, someone brought Konyaku (I'm not sure how to spell it) jelly with longan and lychee inside!! Gosh..that was the best jelly ever!

It doesn't look like much.. but trust me; it tasted like a piece of heaven~

Other than all the laughing and talking and eating, the dinner went pretty well. Of course, pictures were taken~ O, the hispanics had some Raeggaton dance thing next door! Of course our good mlsian food caught their noses and tummies~ They practically 'kau tim'ed everything! Heh!

Yea, they did invite us to dance, but us conservative ppl just decided to laugh at those who were dragged out onto the floor being "mushed" between bodies~


Poor Lay Hoong~ ;) (she's like this tiny skinny chinese gurl~ imagine her ordeal!


Evelyn was having a blast being mushed~ LoL!

The actual Chinese New Year day was pretty boring~ A group of us girls gathered whatever we had (well, actually, whatever they had..i just brought myself) and started munching

It was so pathetic! LoL! but so cute~ We only had ONE mandarin orange (from florida or something; my friend's bro brought it) and like tiny tiny squares of sweet meat! SUPER TINY! And cheese cake~ o and Kuih Kapet (i think that's how it's spelled)!

After that, we started playing cards..no gambling mind you! ;) I taught them how to play "Bullsh*t" and we've been playing it everynight since~ LoL!

I've got my FIRST midterm paper tml for American History..yup..and i've only studied one quarter.. =( Hating history!! :(

Anyway..i'll leave you guys with a few pics!!

Missin the Chinese New Year holiday

Yup, been so busy till I couldn't keep up with updating my blog :) LoL
Nothing much has happened~ just that alicia and I moved into the same room!! And we got a fridge :) We're planning to get a tv; but *somebody* don't want to fork out the green :P ahah (jk!)

Our beautiful fridge~

This morning, it was negative 6 degrees! I mean WTH?! It was suppose to snow last night; which it did but for like what, 2 hours?!

Alicia and Amy (our cute lil thai chick) were studying for an exam they had today, and when it started snowing, they kept checking every 5 minutes to see whether the roads were covered (=.=)"! HaHa! After 3 in the morning, it stopped snowing..Sad but true!


Yup, there they are.. Hopefully wishing it would snow harder!

The next day, it was -6! and I had to get up for an 8oclock class =( Freezzzzziiinnnn~!)
Life hasn't been that much fun here.. Although I am consistently surrounded by friends and food (yes, i'm a total pig now.. eat every 2 minutes!).. There's nothing to do on weekends besides catch up on those NEEDED hours of sleep lost from studying and last minute work!

I miss the chinese new year holidays...and the songs! and the ang paus..and the thought and planning of "accidently" visiting friends' houses! Our ONE and ONLY ang pau is pinned to our door to show the ang mos our chinese new year spirit!

I designed the notice board! ^^ *notice our angpau; the rest are all valentine's day cards?*

Valentine's day just passed~ Alicia got a flower (carnation!) from *ahem ahem!* ahahah LKS! (yinmay, you should know who~)... And the girls on our floor are really sweet~ giving us chocolates and tiny valentine's day cards :)

Alicia's lovely carnation~ <3>

The malaysian gang and well, the 'Varsity' organizers (the people who we will work for during the summer) are planning a "CNY dinner" on friday! Chinese food with a lil' mixture of thai and other types! I'm definitely not planning to be one of the cooks, although alicia is, with a few others also lah :) So, i'm going to walmart to represent alicia (who has class till late) to buy some stuff :P HaHa Walmart trips are now so frequent~

I'm bored.. :P I'll just post up some pictures to end this entry lah ^^

P/s: Alvina!! I played maple! gained 3%! HaHaHa! take me to shanghai city XD!!!



The first time it snowed! SNOWBALL fight!
