Day #0: CNY Eve!
The day where the family gets together for a reunion dinner!
and what better place to reunite other than HOME ♥
This year we had it over at a close family friend's house though, the more the merrier~
Lo Hei personally constructed by yours truly :)
With smoked salmon + abalone slices + lots of veg shreds!
Amazingly delicious dishes done up by the parents
1st row: Cold Spinach with sesame paste, Stir-fry prawn-scallop-pepper-pineapple, Tea Eggs
2nd row: Braised Beef Muscle (my dad's specialty, ultra lean protein), Braised Duck, Roasted Cod
3rd row: Braised Beef Tripe, Stir-fry eel-garlic chive, Stir-fry Bitter Gourd
I never knew cod tastes sooooo heavenly! New found protein love ♥
'Dessert': 8 Treasures Glutinous Rice + Chinese Dumplings! wrapped by ME ^^
hopefully doesn't look too bad yeah? hahahaha
Day #1: Lunar New Year 初一
To avoid over-feasting, my family focuses on one main meal a day to indulge
For the 1st day of the new year we decided to have it the simple way - STEAMBOAT with....
Poon Choi/Pen Cai/盆菜! from Marina Mandarin Hotel's Peach Blossom Restaurant
a traditional dish originated from Hong Kong where various ingredients are placed
into a claypot and braised with superior stock
Gosh I have a mad obsession with mushrooms.
the bigger, the juicier, the better
and hmm...
ingredients for the steamboat tend to fall to the healthier side of the food scale
Day #2: Lunar New Year 初二
Had dinner over at my parents' friend house :)
No matter what, most homemade rendition of dishes are always healthier than eating out
Dishes were singly cooked up by the granny! *salutes*
and everything came in pairs for easy sharing :)
双双对对，双喜临门

This week is officially the last week of internship
YES I CAN'T WAIT~
had been applying for various universities and it'll be quite some time before I enter one
so...I currently have some plans in mind for this long break:
1. I took up a private certification course (exam coming up soon in March, gotta study for that)
2. Taking up some modelling works...*fingers crossed* if not just various jobs, to earn some $$
3. Overseas trips with my friends and family? :)
4. Learn driving..had been procrastinating for the longest time. THE SCHOOLS ARE SO FAR.
5. Try to update my blog more often
6. Catch up with friends whom I haven't met in ages!

2, 1, 0!! I'm smelling freedom already.
not that internship was terrible, in fact, I really enjoyed my duration there
had the chance to work with a team of smart and friendly individuals whom I had learnt lots from
but I have plans in mind and other dreams to achieve right now...
will try my best to exploit all opportunities while I still have my youth :)
Wish me the best of luck! and take care everyone ^^
