2012 Chinese New Year holidays, me and sisters grab the opportunity to go back hometown in Taiping, Perak.
Traffic was not that bad on the highway since the made our journey on the odd hours, 3.30am, Saturday.

Happy to see my parents and gather with my sisters.
Among the activities while I was in Taiping were..off course eat and eat, some 'gossip session' with mom and sisters.

This time around, me and sisters even 'hike' to Maxwell hill a.k.a Bukit Larut.
Well, it was not really a hiking.
Let's just say 95% taking jeep to the top of the hill and 5% hike around the top...hehe

It was my 1st time..and the view from top of hill has never been disappointing.

1250m above sea level

On a clear day, you can even see the Penang bridge from this hill

The most wet place in Malaysia, with heavy rainfall annually

First 2 Weeks in 2012

Its been quite a while that I didn't do any write up.
I've been busy lately... work?? yeah off course that is a norm busy.
What I mean is not work related busy...I've been busy watching Korean drama..hehe
I am just a newbies in this Korean drama craze.

As soon as I finish work, I will quickly rush back home and starts my drama marathon.
And during weekend, I will wake up as early as I could to continue with the episodes.
I could not stop watching.. I eat whatever I could find in the fridge ..or just make myself 2 minutes instant noodles using the microwave.
Lazy me!

I don't even buy my groceries like I normally do over the weekends.
Every single minutes count, because I couldn't help but wonder what will happen next in the drama episodes.

So, in 2 weeks time, I have watched "Princess Hours & Boys Over Flowers".
Total over more than 45 episodes.

I love "Princess Hours" storyline, "Boys Over Flowers" is also a good.
I have to admit due to I have a 'tiny little' crush on Lee Min Ho in "Boys Over Flowers"..now I am in the midst of watching "Personal Taste", which is also starring  Lee Min Ho.

Next, I plan to watch 'City Hunter', also starring Lee Min Ho!
2 weeks in 2012, work is normal. Sometimes overloaded.
Have to deal with angry boss, angry colleagues..and angry me. :)
But..still manageable! hehe..
Trying to keep the positive vibes through out the year!

Since Chinese New Year is just around the corner, my team decided to go for a 'Yee Sang' toss a.k.a 'Prosperity toss'.
It is a dish made from shredded vegetables and sauce. Some mix slices of salmon and even with shredded fruits like pears and pamelo.
Yee Sang - before toss
For a prosperous year 2012!

And off course, good meal  was served right after the toss.



Just some of the dishes

After a mouthful good lunch, everybody seated quietly in their own cubicle.
Trying so hard not to fall asleep with a full stomach!
