My Most Satisfying Chap Goh Meh

I love celebrating Chinese New Year, especially the preparation which starts a few weeks before  the actual day. I love listening to CNY songs, buying new clothes, making cookies and etc etc. CNY is al about family, friends, food and of course angpaos! I simply love CNY the way it seems to bring family together. Sadly, CNY has ended. How time flies when you're having fun! This CNY has definitely been one of the happiest one I ever had, with good food and great places (Eg, Langkawi) to go through out the festive season.

This is my first time attending Chap Goh Meh aka Chinese Valentine's Day celebration. As the Hokkien saying goes, "Dim gam, chui ho ang." which means, "Throw a madarin, marry a good husband." So, me and my friend, Weeslyn, both young and playful, came out with an idea: "We want to dim gam" since we never tried it before.
