10 Best Things About Mikemmery's CNY

Just reached KL after the long CNY break in Melaka (my hometown). Finishing compressing all the pictures and this is going to be a super duper long post with plenty to share about my happenings on the CNY.

Thanks to Chris for giving me a lift back home to Melaka on Wednesday, it is a very much needed break I had been looking forward to after a long hard days at work. The anticipation to meet up my sis who came back from Hong Kong, meeting up my other siblings for dinner and my mom's cooking which I miss a lot.

I am going to share about the best things about CNY for me...

1. When I open up the fridge... free flow of soft drinks, beers & stouts... kekeke...



2. The reunion dinner - where mommy will cook super delicious food and I have no valid reason to go on diet :P




Mom's Signature Curry Chicken


Assam Fish Head


Chap Choy


Pork Knuckles with Sea Cucumber


Rice Wine Chicken


Salted Vegetable Soup


Fatt Choy


Fried Bee Hoon

3. Plenty of junk food, cookies & bak kua - which till now it is no help to my cough, flu, heaty body... but... WHO CARES???






Bee Cheng Hiang & Wo Lai Yeh

4. You got the reason to gamble without nagging from anyone (mahjong, blackjack, Ngau, Rummy, etc) - damn I lost this year: hopefully gonna win later as I am going for mahjong session after this post :P



5. I got every reason to get new clothes to pamper myself. Before everyone thought I am filthy rich with the pictures below, something to clarify: I did not buy any shirt this year, all below were gifts from my sis & my uncle ;) THANK YOU!!!


Nautica Checked Shirt from Sis - HKD580 (RM290)


GAP Long Sleeves from Uncle - HKD600 (RM300)


Polo RL Long Sleeves from Uncle - HKD1,200 (RM600)


Polo RL Long Sleeves from Uncle - HKD1,200 (RM600)


The only thing I bought myself from FOS total RM38 :P

6. To meet up my hometown childhood friends - tcss sessions, snooker & futsal :)





7. To get wasted.

8. To be still receiving Ang Pows eventhough I am hitting 30 now.

9. To be around with my siblings... and lastly....

10. Knowing that I do not need to work & can sleep like a pig.

How about you guys???
