New Year Delicacy

I just heard something very gross today....

My mom was boiling a pot of sea cucumbers when my sister decided to cook tom yam noodles. When she opened the kitchen cabinet door above the stove, her eyes met that of an equally shocked lizard. She screamed so loud that the window panes almost shattered and the lizard lept for its life. Unfortunately, the lizard did not look before it leap and landed right into the pot of boiling sea cucumbers! Needless to say, it was cooked immediately. Imagine the frenzy in the kitchen this morning...

CNY mood

On the 4th day of Chinese New Year, I found myself doing what I normally wouldn't do. I watched a lion dance performance and I actually felt kinda excited :P Maybe it's because of CNY or maybe it's the location where the lion dance took place. I couldn't remember when was the last time I stop by to watch lion dance. And most of the time, it happens in a shop or some shopping centre. So, when I saw the lion dancing in a foodcourt among the hungry faces, it was kind of refreshing. It's like having live entertainment as I eat my lunch.

The climax came when the lion came dancing just a table away from me. I simply couldn't continue sitting, I had to video it. For once, after a long time, I felt the CNY mood :D And the lion dance brought back sweet childhood memories of those days when I would cover my ears whenever the lions come dancing at my grandfather's shop. I would cry when the big head doll came too close to me. I used to think the doll's face looks scary.

The video came in handy on Sunday night when my niece kept asking for my handphone to snap pictures. I showed her the lion dance video and that kept her busy for a couple of minutes while I had some peace :P


Happy New Year and enjoy the video!
