CNY : Neighbourly visit

When I was small we had a Chinese family neighbour, and when new year came what I remember most was all these :

(all images from google)

My younger sister and I would frequently visited next door for all that (there was no fence between our houses)..but the uncle, auntie and their children were always welcoming,

and we always came back with our pockets full of sweets and peanuts...hehehe...

Happy Chinese New Year to my visitors here who celebrate it.

:-)

Note : Thank you for the well wishes at my previous post, I'm fine now thank you, just needed some break and rest (my strained eyes especially from using too much of computer.)

Hope you are and have had some quality rest :)

CNY to me always means hot dry weather and dusty.Lots and lots of oranges that more often than not weren't that sweet and yes those peanuts. Pocketful of them. Hardly no food at all. Warm F&N orange juice without ice that made my head spin.Those were the days.

Scrol forward...rain all day, fantastic imported oranges(some are HUGE ma) no peanuts, boxes of tarts and cookies curtesy of Carefour and Mydin hypermart, not forgetting layered Indonesian cakes and cordials from Cosway.

Great to be Malaysian during festivals I tell you one.

Take care of yrself dear.; 7 February 2011 at 15:30
