Happy Chinese New Year!

Whew! What a tiring weekend! This past weekend, we got a nice taste of good old Chinese New Year, Malaysian style! Saturday night, about 80+ of us Malaysians got together to potluck at this local real estate office's meeting room organized by Caroline. And this wasn't just any potluck. The place was very nicely decorated with CNY flair, with really nostalgic CNY music playing in the background. The food area even had professional style food warmers to prevent our Malaysian dishes from cooling off. The event was racous but VERY VERY filling, with everyone bringing more food that they ate...MMHHMMM.. :) BTW, a great way to assure attendance is to talk about food with us Malaysians...

We adjourned the night and the better part of the next day over at Wee Sen's and Gary+Carol's place. Had tons of fun playing hours upon hours of Blackjack while eating home made Malaysian snacks! Blackjack is definitely a lot more fun played Malaysian style ( double payout on - 21, 5 card, triple payout on - double aces, 5 card + 21 ) than Casino style...
All in all, a very very fun filled weekend! Certainly nice to have a weekend celebrating CNY even if the rest of KC doesn't really care!
