Chinese New Year 2012

Yesterday was Chinese New Year. Everyone kept posting statuses (on fb) saying "Kung Hei Fat Choi". Jonathan joked about it and said "poor Choi, everyone's calling him fat". LOL ..

While everyone was thinking about Chinese New Year, I was here at home, sitting, and watching latest episodes of some tv series that I'm watching. Part of me was thinking about what I would like to wear (clothes & accessories) for this holiday if I had tons of money. I was thinking of a light red spaghetti shirt (with a tiny flower design, not printed, near the right strap), paired with a black skirt (maxi or just an inch or so below the knee). As for the accessories, I'd wear the ones currently being sold at Gaisano Mall's activity area (chinese accessories). For the shoes, I'd say the red wedge I saw last night while walking at Roxas (where thrift stores are). Lastly, for the bag, something black and red. And yes, it was just an imagination :p Will probably try it when I have a stable job already.

So, what happened yesterday was Jonathan called and told me he'd take me out for dinner, and said to wear red (he wants us to be cultured). When he came to pick me up, he brought "tikoy" with him. We did some experimenting cause his friend told him that tikoy's better when fried. It was our first time frying tikoy. We had no idea what to do. At first, we dipped tikoy with egg, but then it was an epic fail. So, we decided to dip tikoy with egg, then cover it with flour and fry. It turned out better than the first one.

Then, we went to Mandarin Tea Garden (Victoria Plaza branch) to have dinner.

  9. Your boyfriend is very cultured, and is very attentive to details. I'm actually impressed with guys who knows a different race's traditions. :) By the way, your 2nd attempt at frying the tikoy is also a method of ours at home. :)
