Welcome Tiger Year 2010

14 Feb 2010 - First day of CNY & also Valentine's Day. The day started with all of us dressing up to visit our relatives. Usually we have this big gathering of relatives at 1 of my aunt's house...Easily we can have more than 50 people around. And all the angpows exchange between all the relatives....so busy.

After lunch, we went to our grandma's house @ Kampung - another round of angpows exchange.

Usually at this time, the auntie & uncle, cousins will ask when is ur turn to give angpow? When are u getting married? Fast fast get married lo, u're not young anymore etc....Stressful la.....I believe most of the ppl oso facing the same problem....Ha haha....

But before we went to our relatives place, we will have our annual family photo session - done it for the past few years.

And during this time, our flowers in the garden blossom into full bloom. So beautiful.....signs of good thing/events happening soon. Good news...Yeah.....good news coming soon. Tiger year will be another great year for us.

Huat Ah!!! Hope we'll huat all the way......Happy CNY

Bored & Tired

Feeling so bored & tired.....Not interested to do anything.....mind went kosong....OMG! What happened? Focus, Focus & FOCUS!!!!

And sleepy too....ZZZzzzzz....It's working hour now...

HOT HOT HOT & HUAT HUAT HUAT Chinese New Year 2010

I have 4 days off for CNY......drove back home on Friday evening after work with my sister. The traffic starts to build up along the highway coz many people also going back to their respective hometowns. Normally we use North-South Highway & this main highway is connecting all the major towns from North to South...that's why it's congested especially during festive seasons. I'm driving up north. We started our journey about 6p.m from PJ & reached home about 9.30p.m - 3 hrs plus drive.

Saturday is already New Year Eve & my mom woke up early to prepare all the foods for offering to our ancestors. After the praying session, we have our usual reunion lunch....we usually have reunion lunch rather than dinner. After lunch, dad gave us angpows - it's a tradition to give angpows for the younger & single members of the family.

In the afternoon, we either gamble or sleeping. Then it's time for dinner already....After dinner, we went to town for last minute shopping but we found out that some parts of Teluk Intan facing black-out. Seems like for the past 2 days also same. So we came back & continue gambling. By 11.30p.m, we "sou dong" & clean up our place - sweeping & mopping the floor before the clock strikes 12a.m....It's a tradition that Chinese families cannot sweep the floor on the 1st day of CNY as the luck will be all swept away.

Deco @ Pavillion KL
GONG XI FA CAI & WAN SI RU YI

I got a new name

I got a new name.......

Reason: A sifu told me that my old Chinese name is not good & advised me to change name hence this my new name.

洪僥伶 - pronounced as hong jiao(第三音）ling（第四音）

To make it simple, I'm using Jolene

as my English name as it's easier to remember (the pronounciation is quite similar)

Hopefully with this new name, more luck will be coming my way...

in another simple words (jiao means lucky) & (ling means order) - that's my understanding of the words ....。。。

Iin Chinese ....the sifu said ....with this name -

人缘好，财源在身边，做事有成就...

Okla...without hesitation I just accept my new name...New year with a new name....I like it

So now I'm officially is called Jolene & 僥伶。。。。
