I love CNY because we get to spend time with our family members :) Every first day of New Year, we used to wake up early and eat Mee Swa (Vermicelli) made by my paternal grandma (ah ma) and mummy. They will also cook red date and longan drink (ang saor teh) and prepare lots of food for all my grandparents' kids/grandkids/great grand kids who are coming to visit them.
Mee Swa on New Year's Day is a Hokkien tradition which sybolizes longevity i think :) But i like to think of it as family togetherness when we eat together first thing on New Year's day.
These days, though my paternal grandparents are no longer with us, the sweet sweet memory they left behind lives on strongly. Daddy and Mummy prepares the mee swa and Isaiah will come over to have a nice homely breakfast. We still have the longan and red date tea, of which this year, i'm gonna improvise and make it ice blended! :)
Another must-do thing would be to catch the yearly Jack Neo film in the theatres with my beloved family :) This year would be of no exception! Have you caught the funky trailer in the movies?
Have no idea what the movie is about? Fret not! Omy keeps you updated, informed, on the loop, yada yada yada! And that's why i love it! :)
