Chinese New Year Mood

As I was packing my begs before heading home for Chinese New Year, I was going through the items that I wanted the bring back. After lots of thinking, I finally made up my my mind not to bring too many cloths/things back because I knew that there would be a lot of things back home waiting for me.

I brought back 1 empty tin, 1 container, a bed sheet, a blanket, a towel and a pillow case. That was my first time bringing back home so little things. Want to know why? Let me tell you the reasons..

Weeks before Chinese New Year, I requested something from my sister. I requested her to bake many types of cookies for me, so I can bring them back to my college after my Chinese New Year holiday. I requested for Pineapple Tart, Chocolate Chip cookies, and Corn Flakes.

I went back home on the 29/1/10, for a weekend break and guess what? Upon reaching home, my sister asked me to try some of the cookies that she had baked (me and my brothers are always her victims guinea pigs). So, the conversation goes something like this:

Sister: Clement, come try this one (Corn flakes).

Clement: AAAaaa (opening my mouth, because my sister was feeding me, haha)..Num num num..Too much honey, too sweet. I can’t really taste the butter. I think should put more butter and less honey.

Sister: Aiyah “Sat Pai” (failed). Never mind, I will do another new batch. Now try this one(Chocolate Chips Cookies)..Petrina say it’s hard like a rock.

Clement: AAAaaa, Num num num..Eh no ah, this one not hard. This one like “lau fong”, the container no close properly izit?

Sister: Eh, sorry not this one. *Searching*. I think is this one.

Clement:  Num num! @_@ Hard, but still okay… Not really that hard lah, still can be eaten de. But too sweet already. Too much chocolate chips.

Sister: So how? What to do with the hard ones? I mix it with the good ones, okay? :-p

Clement: Haha can can..

Sister: Try this Pineapple Tart.

Clement: AAAaaa..

Sister: Can taste the pineapple mah?

Clement: Num num num, erm… too little pineapple already. Should put more..

(That is roughly how our conversation that day. But there were laughter here and there that are difficult to be describe here. Only both of us know, right jie? ^_^)

I arrived back to my college yesterday night. Curious what I brought back? See the pictures below…

My beg was filled with 4 containers of cookies, 1 pack of coco crunch, a bed sheet, a blanket, 2 shirts and etc.

I was also carrying a plastic beg filled with Munchy’s Oat Krunch and 10 packets of Dutch Lady Full Cream Milk.

This was how my shelf look like before putting all the cookies and foods in it.

And this is how it look like after putting all my things in it. I guess the mood of Chinese New Year is still in me. :-)
