I mastered all my courage to join the Ngiams for the Reunion Dinner this year. It'll be so different without Regina around... Every reunion dinner (when I was in Singapore) was spent with the Ngiams and with Gina and I buying and preparing the food. Guess this was why they opt to eat out this year!
I was fighting back my tears when I hugged her daughter Jayne but the tears just kept streaming down my face... Brendan stopped me from crying as i had vowed never to cry in front of my son again.
We had dinner at Imperial Court Shark's Fin Restaurant, yes I know, i had also said that i will 'boycott' eating shark's fin... :) am glad my bowl had more sea cucumber (which i really dislike!!) than fins, couldn't even tasted a fin!
We had an early dinner, dinner was at 5pm, after dinner we decided to proceed to Changi Airport Terminal 3 for coffee and tea. Bren fell asleep in the car on the way there, he was exhausted!
We had coffee and tea @ Ya Kun, shopped around till it was about 10pm before heading home to invite the God of Fortune into our house.
How do you invite the God of Fortune into your house?
-Open all the windows and doors in your house
-Turn on every single light in the house
-Prepare a spread of goodies for the God of Fortune to feast on
-Prepare a bowl of rice with chopsticks
-Prepare a drink (tea, juice...)
Gong Xi Fa Cai!! May the year of the Ox be a good year for all!! May this year usher in health, prosperity and happiness for all!!

Fireworks @ 101 (Taipei City)
Enjoy the Fireworks!! I dunno how to turn the video the right way up...can anyone help?)
The fireworks this year at Taipei 101 was a huge disappointment!
We had dinner with Sue at her apartment, she lives a stone throw away from 101, 20 mins before midnight, we strolled down to the intersection of Hsinyi and Songren for the countdown!!
Brendan enjoyed the fireworks and breakdancing on the 'empty' roads of Hsinyi!! :)
HAPPY 2009!!
