: : 1st Day of CNY : :

This brainless and self-deceiving kid (namely moi) was helping up her Granny put out the CNY goodies for the 1st day of CNY. I’m actually very tickled by the comment to the point I’m still laughing up till now. Just saw it about half an hour ago.

Anyway, back to the goodies. Let’s see : from bottom left clockwise – Indonesian layered cake from the local bakery, pieces of Mandarin oranges, Pandan butter cake, sweetened pieces of dried cuttlefish (red). In the centre was some bak poh @ BBQ-ed pork slices.

From bottom clockwise : kuih bangkit @ white cookies pistacchio (as reminded to me by my ex-boss!) that absolutely melts in your mouth, peanuts and peanut cookies in the shape of miniature curry puffs.

From bottom clockwise : pineapple jam cookies, cheese cookies and kuih makmur that also melts in the mouth.

One of my collegues at work gave me and Granny some dodol from Melaka. The boxes were small and cute! Great as gifts.

The ong lai plant that look good on the table.

Granny : I’m a lucky person! Even when I didn’t jaga (look after) the plant, it still flower and bloom for me leh!

So, that’s all for today from the brainless and self-deceiving kid. Hehehehe!!

(Sorry, I’m just having a good laugh here. Incidently, after speaking to my mother, whatever happened to SHELL’s refinery? Even though most of the crude oil is shipped overseas since it is sweet oil, doesn’t it have enough oil to backup shortages? Ok … enough of Wena doing a Jeff Ooi here.)

Mum : You? Brainless? Self-deceiving? Hahahahaha!
