Day 81 : Cliche!

Hello.. It's the beginning of the goat year and first of all... Ehemm *coughing to attract attentions*.. Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone! Xin Nian Kuai Le, Sheng Ti Jian Kang, Wan Si Ru Yi! If any of you do not know the meaning, then here's the translation: 

Happy new year, everyone. Wishing everyone a good health and may everything runs your way. :)

It's the new beginning and I hope everyone is having a fresh start today. And just like any years that gone by, this year I do also think that this will be my year. I know it sounds so cliche, right?! However, let's just have faith on this. 

I started the day going to my grandma's house and having a family gathering there. And it's been a tradition in our family to having this Fa Cai Hao Shi dish on a new year. 

It is a common lucky dish served during CNY, which means "prosperity and good fortune". Fa Cai is a type of fungi that looks a lot like shiny black hair, and its chinese name sounds like "prosperity" in Chinese, whilst Hao Shi is dried/preservd oyster, which sounds like "good things".

It's only once a year rare opportunity, so I ate a lot of this dish. Apparently, a happy tummy made a happy heart! 

The perks of today is getting a lot of hong Bao (red packets), given by my family. A great beginning today was.

I gotta feeling it's gonna be a great year. 

Sadhu...Sadhu...Sadhu...
