Bunny Year.

Chinese New Year.. what us Chinese will prepare for this very auspicious day? well lets see..

the red cloth thingy (ang chai)

oranges.

red and pink flowers decorations and many more.. not much decors in my house tho.. haha

First day of CNY my family and i went to the usual meditation center that we use to visit every Sunday.. Offering food stuff and robes to the monks.. :) nothing much tho.. CNY is like any other day to me just that we get red packets, eat more than we usually would and meet our relatives of course!
now let me show u guys about the meditation center that i was talking about!

Nandaka Vihara Meditation Center.
(main hall)

its located somewhere near Cherok Tokun.

there's a pond with water lilies on it as well!

they made their own 'stream'

glutinous rice ball with black sesame filling.


before leaving, here's the picture of the building.. haha

heritage huh?
overall the food was oh-kay.. wasnt up to my expectations tho.. the portion of the food is not satisfying enough too! and its kinda pricey for it no doubt its the first day of CNY! oh ya, did i mention that it took us some time to search for restaurant? yeah most restaurants were closed.. and we tried our luck for Tianyi and good thing its open! and there were like tonnes of humans dining inside..



thats all for now and i'll continue blogging soon!
stay tune!
