: : 2nd day of CNY : :

Still raining on the 2nd day but I still made my way to another collegue’s house. As well as some more goodies. There is a correlation in the Chinese community during CNY : every CNY, people’s weight will increase drastically!

Oh! My favourite! But Granny didn’t order any this year. Sob sob sob! These are miniature spring rolls/egg rolls but the filling is dried prawn that has been pounded with some chilli. Ohhh! So nice! Should have put this in the poll but oh well. Never mind.

Mouth-watering alrite. Another type of dried cuttlefish but still sweet and spicy. Yum yum! These things are expensive you know!

I think these were dried soya bean but not sure. Still, very tasty but very filling at the same time!

Cashew nuts! Eat them by the kilos! Hahaha! Surprisingly, it’s cheaper in the USA compared to here. Mum brings back a lot everytime she comes back home.

That’s it for the 3rd day! Went back home and suddenly, had a lot of ppl visiting. So, was rushing around a bit.

Granny : Wei! Where my kong (container) with money ah? Have to pack ang pows since got children lah!

Wena : Ah! I go get it.

Granny : Nah! Here! (Passes me ang pow packets) You quickly pack pack ah!

Wena : Ok ok ok ok…

That was the highlight of the day. Granny forgot to pack some ang pow packets that morning. Hahaha!

: : KWB supposed pipe burst : :

Fell asleep after dinner on the coach so didn’t get the frantic phonecalls and messages until 10:30 p.m. as handphone was upstairs. Allegedly, there was a pipe burst and that the water supply was interrupted

Make a few calls to check. The pump is down lah! Not a pipe burst.

Getting SMSes like crazy to store water. Water pressure is down but still have supply lah! Just a bit slower. Besides, if you have a water tank, you would have about 1-2 days supply. But will depend on how large is one’s household. Just don’t go washing your car or wash too many plates!! Luckily, it only hpapened today and not during the 1st and 2nd day of CNY! Chalat then!

Not that this info will get out throughout the whole populace. Not that many ppl are wired to the internet in Kuching but hey, at least some information here.

On another note, I heard from a friend long ago that there was this couple in Klang who used to empty out their water tank just before a water shortage and refilled it up. Their excuse? To clean up the tank.
