New Year's Eve =3=3

Yesterday night was the annual Chinese New Year's Eve. Just in case some of you are wondering, Chinese New Year's Eve exists as the last day of last year according to the calender, and as of today, it is the brand new start for the RAT year.

It was my first Chinese New Year that i was gonna spend alone without my family. After 17 years with them, i guess Chinese New Year wouldn't mean much without my family beside me i guess. But, still it's a brand new year for us, so i'm kinda, a little, somehow excited about it. As we were in school, i was practically waiting for the ending bell to ring in each period to go home and prepare to celebrate this special day with Kendrick's family. We were both excited, indeed, for Kendrick's parents coming here, and the fact that we can finally have GOOD FOOD in such a longgggggggggggggggg time.

When i reached home, i just went kapuut, and directly went to sleep first as the day wasn't much different from the day before, plain tiring. In the middle of my sweet dream, Aaron, *a friend of ours in Perth, working as an Architect, earning big bucks $$*, rang my phone up, and mentioned that Kendrick's parents were here. I, directed them in the wrong room, being blury after waking up, and i rushed over to tell Ken, and he had to go out and find them while i was busy cleaning my room.

Ken's parents came with 2 large boxes, one that of almost the same height as i am, i think *as i was still blur from waking up*, full of ti bits and candy, and nice nice stuff to eat, awwwww, i felt home again with so much stuff to munch on (^-^), pretty desperate right ><

Anyway, we unpacked and cleared the stuff at home, then Aaron, drove us to dinner, to a chinese restaurant named : 食 chi. It was quite packed too with Chinese. See, Chinese New Year Eve is still important and significant even in a foreign country for most of them =P We sat down, and started ordering. When Ken and I were flipping through the menus, we could barely remember how like each stuff tasted, it was just too long since we had nice food. Ken;s parents ordered, and we waited, for this special New Year's Eve Dinner in Perth.

First came the Fried Pork strips, then the noodle-like dish, then the Toufu, and the Crispy Chicken, along with the Yam and Duck Pot, and finally, the Snow Fish !!!!! I could still remember it soooooooo clearly, being the nicest food we have had in such a long time in Perth.It is a dinner i was not going to forget so soon. I didn't much remember the process of eating though, i was just too busy enjoying. I had my little tummy filled up, and he was happy, i could just feel it xDxD The snow fish especially, was superb.

It was a friends and family dinner, that was special. While eating, seeing that Ken is back with his family, i started to wonder about how my family was doing back in Sibu. I bet they had good food too, and a lot of fun since almost everyone went back to celebrate the festival. It was when i realised that, home is where your family is, just like mine, back in Miri.

I thanked Ken's parents, and we went back to Vickery House for the night. Everyone was happy celebrating around the festival with friends, making up for not being at home with their families. I went back in my room and then to the telephone stand to make a call before heading in my cozy bed, with a full tummy, with a very very nice sleep to welcome Chinese New Year ^^

*Special Notice*
- It's raining now as i'm writing this post, first rain that i've seen since i came to Perth, it's so cool, breezy and nice, making me so anxious about autumn and winter ^^

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, AND MAY THIS YEAR BE ANOTHER PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR YOU AND FOR ME !!!!!!
