Some pictures from my CNY this year!
On New Year's eve, my mum prepared Buddha Jump Over The Wall for us. Super super yummy!! Took one whole day to stew!
Cam-whoring.. =P

20 few years ago, there was a couple who was trying to get pregnant. They heard about this temple where prayers for children were often answered. They decided to visit the temple and ask for a child.
Every last day of the lunar new year, the temple medium will distribute flowers blessed by the Goddess of Mercy to couples who want children. For a few years, the couple did not have the luck to be around when the flower-giving session was on. 24 years ago, the couple finally managed to be at the temple when they gave out the flowers.
They caught a flower.
Did they get pregnant?
Yep, they gave birth to me. =)
And so, every last day of the lunar new year, we will visit this temple to give thanks.

This year, we managed to reach the temple in time for the flower-giving ceremony. The temple caretaker will climb up a ladder to reach the huge pot of flowers. From that height, he will throw the flowers down.
Every year, there is a opera troupe stationed outside the temple. I never understood what they are singing but they complete my Lunar New Year celebration.
We brought Alvin along with us this time. We also managed to catch 3 flowers! I'm not intending to get pregnant though. Just hoping for good luck in finding someone special. =)
