This year since I am in UK, i didnt really celebrate Chinese New Year.. If you ask me whether am home sick.. I can tell you that during the Chinese New Year festival I was really feeling home sick because Chinese New Year is the time where no matter how and where you are, we will always celebrate Chinese New Year together.. Ever since I moved to KL, I will always go back to Penang to celebrate Chinese New Year with my beloved family.. So this is the only year that I didn't celebrate Chinese New Year together.. But celebrating Chinese New Year in UK is also a new experience for me.. This year since all of us are away from home, my friends and I decided to have a little reunion together.. it was really fun.. I had lots of fun... The only few things i miss that I cant get it here is
No 1- My beloved family
No 2- Ang Pow!!! =)
No 3- Chinese New Year Cookies.. Pineapple tarts.. Nestum Cookies.. and etc... ( but thanks to my friend who went back to Malaysia for CNY, she bought back some cookies for me.. Jumping with joy!
Here is how i celebrated my Chinese New Year in Nottingham UK!
During the Chinese New Year Eve! Reunion Dinner with the Malaysian Society.. Thank you
Malaysian Society for organizing this event.. And we have "yee sang" too.. Not the original one though
but still it was good! Great company and great food.. =)
