Happy Chinese New Year 2560

Welcome to the year of OX!

The day didn’t start so well but luckily things started to get better after that. When boyfriend’s hometown is greeted by Mr.Flood, whom never fails to visit them yearly, Medan itself is freaking hot that I wish to keep myself in the fridge. Seriously.

Anyway, flash back to last night (Chinese New Year eve) when we had the worst reunion dinner ever at the restaurant of Emerald Garden Hotel.

The foods s*cks to the max. I never thought that it could be oh so worse. Sigh. I would be more than happy to have a relaxing reunion dinner at home with Mum’s cooking or at Delima Restaurant, if not because somebody has ordered a place at Emerald Garden for the big family.

We ended up having a supper at the road side stall behind Hongkong Plaza. It is probably the best and the most delicious fried rice in Medan. :D

Anyway, coming back to this morning.

After breakfast yadayada, we went to Maha Maitreya temple at Cemara Asri.

Went inside to light up candle and stick a few wishes around the candle.

people-praying

Pray for a better year and peaceful world. Btw, I saw less and less people was wearing red clothes. It used to be a MUST but not anymore.

I also wrote a few wishes and hung it on this tree.

wisdom-quote

The above was the wisdom quote that I received from blind-picking it from the Buddha’s bowl (something like that).

After that, we went back, had lunch, my aunties came with the cousins for a few hours, continued to watch the Korean drama, went to Grandma’s place, went to a close-relative’s place, had our dinner at Nelayan Shanghai Kitchen – Sun Plaza, and came home with pain on my feet. The new white shoes is so not comfortable at all, but it looks pretty, how? :P

And, that is my first day of Chinese New Year. Now, I just want to have a damn good sleep for… let’s say 10 hours, can?

      I would wear red if I can find one that I like. Else, any other color will do. I suppose we have get over the must-wear-red period. :P

    Wew. Kiong Hee… :D

    Me and my friend was there too (Maha Maitreya Temple) at night before Chinese New Year.

    It was so crowded, but not as much crowded as the day of international new year.
