The year of the Ox has left and the Year of the Tiger is upon us. This year as usual we went visiting, only this time we had the 2 kids in tow and they did receive their fair share of Ang Pow packages. The Ang Pows (Red-Packets) these days are getting fancier and fancier, So many cute types of packets out there. There were the tiger motif types, the gold package even sesame street characters were on the packets. But the one’s I like the most this year was the boy/girl packet, I think they were from some banks.
This year since I got one of those GPS navigation systems installed in the car, I entered the details of all the various relatives that we were going to visit and I found it really useful since never once did we get lost :) I think it uses the shortest method to get to the location but that might not be the fastest but then we still all arrived at the location. Found it most useful if you ever try to find a landed property with all the twist and turns which at times was a maze to me … but not to the system.
Finally my all time favourite snack for the Lunar New Year are peanuts. I absolutely love them. Guess that’s how I ended up with a sore throat. Every house generally has them and on every stop I would plonk myself down near the peanut bin and start easting. I also love the peanut in flour that my aunt would make and she is the only one who still makes them I remember when I was younger we used to go to her place to make these and ‘love letters’ a lot of hard work and burnt hands.
