CNY...

As Yun was staying back for her study (grade 12 -> exam year); I was unable to go back to Malaysia for my CNY this year.

Ving was forced to make the trip with Xian as Xian IC was long due and my mother in law had not been feeling well for the past few months.

Luckily Airasia had started its KHH-KUL route and the passage back to Malaysia was smoother. Xian was excited as he had gotten the chance to visit KLIA2.

Unlike most of my friends, CNY is not an excitement for me as I don’t have many friends to visit during the stay. The only attraction for me in the past was the rainbow raw fish dish….however, the dish was not that special. In the past, a restaurant would pay handsomely to hire a master chef to prepare such dishes; everything was massively produced and the restaurant would just have to mix it….

My shift during the CNY was a tight one as we were down to 3.5 instead of 4 manpower this year. I did 9 calls during the 14 days period and Yun had to put up in the call room during that period. We had a good chat over her future and I felt that she would make a wise choice.

There was this 5 days night market festival during the CNY period in the town where we resided. We had patronized the night market on 4 consecutive nights – nothing to shout but yet the food was quite satisfying.

Xian was bored during the stay as Ving had been busy with my in law’s health problem…

2 weeks seems forever for me and Yun....We were busy with the laundry and meals during the period…the kitchen was in a mess and however we were managed to get it fixed before Ving’s return.

I was rewarded with a can of ubi sambal ….my favorite, it used to be 20cent per pcs(snake for a poor kid) sold by the indian roti bike seller and now the price is rocking high….still, I enjoyed it and taking a small bite of it every few days…
