2009 Chinese New Year Flashback

Two more days will be the end of the year of the bull. *sigh*

I should be happy like other right?

And welcome the year of the Tiger

but.....

This year, I won't be going back to Sarawak for CNY celebration. Yah.. blame myself for being so poor and can't effort to pay such expensive flight tickets. Please forgive me ya, Dad, Mom, Sisters and brother .

Yesterday when I look back at 2009 Chinese New Year photos, it brings me back so many memories.

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you all my 2009 CNY photos. That's our first CNY celebration at Sibu since we move back from Sarikei.

I really had a wonderful time with my family during 2009 CNY

@ LCCT

To save our budget, we took the flight from LCCT to Kuching instead direct to Sibu. In Kuching, we took 7 hours bus back to Sibu. We save around RM1000 plus ;)

Kuching - Sarikei - Sibu

not fun at all during the journey, bumpy road ;(

After 6 hours, we stop at Sarikei bus station

but this won't be our destination anymore ;(

after this tol, we reached SIBU

and my dad come to pick up us with mom

let's go home

my home sweet home @ Sibu

my mom handmade biscuits/ cookies
miss it so much ;(

At night we went to shop for CNY groceries

varieties type of can drinks. Can't find it in KL

and my beloved da jie who settled the bill ;p

look at her hand holding the bill

Then we went for supper nearby my house

And my first time ate fried chicken butt ;)
2 thumbs up!!

and my favorite "midin" a kind of fern

Second day at Sibu.....

my mom prepared breakfast for me ;)

to pay her back, I helped her to do house cleaning

while cleaning, realized my mom always eat
together with my house's maid, Ibok ;)

The most funny thing is my mom always talked in Iban language with her and she answered in Indon language. Wondering how they communicate everyday? Body language??

found my handmade handcraft, when I was in form 3
my mom kept it nicely for me till now

mom showed me this is how she look like during young time
so pretty and slim

last year is the year of the bull, I'm bought it from nearby shop

and 2 tanglung as well. Last minute decoration plan

At night we back to my grandma's house for bai bai


The day before CNY, helping my mom to prepare reunion dinner

Before clock strike 12 midnight...

waiting for the firecrackers and fireworks

Sibu people so rich...
the firecrackers and fireworks continues for 2 hours non stop

The next morning, my mom made us "long life noodles" with chicken soup

Forth day of CNY, took bus from Sarikei to Kuching.
Again we will take flight from Kuching to KL.

Dropped by 2020 cafe for the most delicious "hugan" in Sarikei ;)
