It was raining heavily for lunar new year's eve in Singapore but with the whole family around, it translated to a warm reunion dinner. And, it helps too when mum and sis in laws are dishing out delicious food.

yummy....
This is my second time ushering the lunar new year in Singapore and instead of eating out we usually prepare our reunion dinner at home. One good thing about it is we don't have to rush and take our own time eating with the tv on too. :D Here are the dishes prepared by the chief cook, my mom and assisted by my SILs.

My fav - mushrooms, hoi sum and etc...
Mashed prawn fritters
Variety of vegetables
'siew yoke'
boiled chicken
Home-made Lotus root soup

'ku lou' meat

and not forgetting a simple yee sang...
All in all.. the food ready to be serve for the reunion dinner
And, let's toss the yee sang high for abundance and prosperity!!

I was kinda busy since the new year has started and don't really have much time to update my blog. The Chinese New Year is around the corner and I guess you folks must be busy shopping for new clothes, food, drinks, bak kwa and other delicacies. It's the best time of the year and I hope you folks enjoy the moment. I will be celebrating my CNY in Singapore this year where my parents will be travelling over to the down south.

Lately, I was quite active in posting pictures to the iPhone app, Instagram. Well, this app has been around for quite a long while and I had been using it all along. However, of late, I'm getting more and more hooked to it and also engage the communities in the app. I notice there's an increase of folks following my profile (though it's still little) as well as I followed others. It's also similar to blogging but instead of writing, I just post the pictures to the app and folks will start commenting or like it.

My instagram profile

It's very simple to upload photos to the app and what makes it exciting is whenever you see something special, just snap and upload. There are also filters for you to beautified your pictures. If you are on instagram, do follow me and I will follow you back :)

Anyway, I still love blogging and will continue to update my blog in the coming days, especially the CNY. Have a good time, folks!
