Year of the Tikus

"May STUART LITTLE brings you comfort; MICKEY MOUSE brings you joy; RATATOUILLE brings you abundance of good food; most importantly MINNIE MOUSE brings you ultimate beauty & pleasure. Year of Rat with lots of laughter, love & optimism. Gong Xi Fa Cai."

I almost forgot it's the year of the Rat until I get the text above from my ever funny buddy kok hang. And so it's CNY again - my 2nd CNY abroad. I wanna be back! I wanna eat yee sang; I want ang pow; I wanna go visiting; I wanna gamble!!!! :p

It's the first day of CNY today and I'm sitting at home! Palat siew called and asked, "Australia got holiday meh?" I simply answered, "Self-declared la!" Hehe.. So I was home cleaning stuff and got ready for my 2nd road rules test. I wonder if it's CNY gift or what but they gave me the same set of questions as my first test. So if I fail this, I can jump into a well. Guess what! I'm not in a well right now. I passed! Not surprising la.

By the way, it's also my friend's graduation today. Here are some photos.

poser!

After those never-ending photo sessions, we went to a Taiwanese restaurant on a back lane - it is really called Backlane literally. I had a "Three Cups Chicken with rice" (direct translation) and a large lemon pink guava drink.

Next, time for movie! I went to watch Fool's Gold - some guy getting a divorce from her wife but somehow went on to hunt for the Queen's Dowry sunk in the Bahamas together. It's not too bad but my friend fell asleep in the cinema. Haha.. Worth a watch on pirated DVD la. :p

That was it! My CNY in Brisbane! Kung Hei Fat Choy la!
