2010 Chinese New Year @ Kota Kinabalu

This is it! Post about my Chinese New Year. Basically its been more than a year since i last went back to celebrate Chinese New Year there. So this year i took a 6 days leave, means in total of 11 days holiday !! It was great to be back and to see all my relatives and cousins. And surprised too, to see my cousin taller than me. Haha !! It makes me feel like im really getting older each year i went back. And as usual, all of them asking me the same thing. Some of you who know me might know what im talking about. If you dont know, you got to look at my 2010 resolution. Haha!

Ok, here are some of the pic that i took.(sorry, bad pic quality. no camera, only phone camera.)

At LCCT waiting for my flight, wearing flintstone shirt! haha !

Reach KK safely, and my aunt cooked this soup specially for me. My fav soup !
I dont know the name for this soup but its super nice !

Next Morning, i went to my uncle's house to give my grandma and grandad a surprise.
And my plan went well, they are surprised to see me. After that we went
to this place for breakfast. Famous with the beef noodle!

Here is their famous beef noodle, but i ordered kuey teow. As you can see, this portion
is normal portion. But for KL, this is considered large with extra meat.
The meat and kuey teow is super a lot. The meat itself can divide to
another three bowl for KL portion. RM5 for a bowl, and taste super GOOOOD !!

This cute lil boy is my cousin. This is my first time seeing him. Super cute.
And he is not afraid of me, and likes to play !!

And this is my Aunt, the lil boy's mom.

Then we all went to shopping after breakfast. And i took this pic. My Aunt and my cousin.

Cheeky smile !

He is super curious with everything. Even when eating, he dont want people to feed him.
He want to hold the spoon himself. Small boy acting tough !

After shopping and eating with my aunts and uncle, i went and meet up my friend.
Went to Bukit Padang for FOOD again. We ordered a few stuff. Here's the famous
Sotong Kangkung !

And she ordered Cendol.

This is my Leong Fun Susu.

This stall is famous with Char Kuey Teow. Many people come here to eat her
fried Char Kuey Teow.

This fried Yiu Tiao with fish paste i guess. Just taste GOOOOOD lah !

Here she is, Samantha my 'Mei Oh !' friend.

Im very sure you all will wonder what the heck is this. This pastry got many names.
Some say Cow shit, some say UFO. Funny names ! But dont let this weird thing fool you,
this thing taste AWESOMELY GOOD !!

And yes, im doing a free promo for Yoyo. The famous Milk Tea in sabah.
The one im holding is actually Milk Tea Pudding, my 3rd cup one the first day in KK.
1st two cup was bubble tea !
5 star ! BEEESSSSSSSTTTTTT!

I told my aunt from Sandakan that i miss the Sandakan Bah Kut Teh, and she bought it for me.
she packed it and brought it over to KK!! Well it might look weird in this pic. Camera cacat.
But real life, this bah kut teh is the BOMB man !
Another 5 star food that must eat when im back !

This is the seafood one. With big prawns. Wonder how it taste like ? Just go Sandakan and try it.
No Regret !

Another morning breakfast, at a famous Sang Yuk Mien at lintas. Ordered Leong Fun susu again.
This place is actually very very packed, many people come and eat here. You got to
stand behind the people while they are eating. I find it rude and weird but thats the only
way to get seat, or else others will take it and wait for hour to find another table.

Here is the famous Sang Yuk Mien. KL people, open your eyes wide. Look at the portion!!!
This is normal portion in Sabah. To get this size in KL, i guess u have to tell the person
"Tambah besar besar besar".

Look at this bowl of soup and meat! In Kl i guess this can divide to two bowl plus.

I ordered dry noodle. Now check out the meat colour. So white. Now you know why its called
Sang Yuk Mien !

I forgot which night, i went out with two friends.To this place called Upperstar.
Famous place for Yum Cha. Very nice place, good atmosphere and open till late.
Not bad.Got computer on some table for people to use while drinking or eating.



Here's Alison !

And here's Ivy Joo!

For the first few days, CNY is seriously boring and HOT in KK. Boring till i know how to
solved the rubic cube. Hahaha !! My cousin taught me and then i keep exploring,
and now i finally know how to solved it ! Piece of cake !

And this is my cousin. She is super 38 and talkative. Very Hyper! Small girl who talk like an
adult.

Another bunch of cousins playing Wii. Happy to see them, and they really grow so fast.
Soon they will be taller than me. Quite tall for a form 2 students. Oh ya,
playign Wii is one of the activites to kill my boring time there.

Two of them playing The Sims3 in the room. So young already know how to use
computer. Imagine me at that age last time. I dont think i know how to switch on
the computer. So i join them and played The Sims 3, and i created 1 Sims.
Here's how my Sims look like.. *drum roll*

Jeng Jeng Jeng !!

It's ME !! Haha !! Cool right !! i made myself in The Sims !!

Fashion style also the same ! Canggih!

Here is another style of beef noodle. My aunty told me this beef noodle quite famous.
But i think thats my second time i tried, i dont remember the 1st time.
Not bad.


After eating so much during the day, im totally KO during dinner time at my uncle's house.
I didn't eat, but i drank two BIG bowl of Shark Fins Soup with a teaspoon of whisky in it.
Super nice wey !! Check out the shark fins, super a lot and thick! Every spoon also full
of shark fin!

Another morning Sang Yuk Mien breakfast. Ordered my favourite Leong Fun Susu again.

And this time, its at another different Sang Yuk Mien shop. I prefer this one more than
the previous one. This one the dry noodle sauce is super nice. The portion is also big!

What makes me like this one more its because of the soup. The taste is so nice and strong.
Strong taste of "G Yau Zha". haha!

Meet up with another group of friends. Far left, Fan Jean, Ivy Joo, Felix Yew and me.
We went yum cha at Yoyo!


Me with my Mini Pearl Milk Tea and Felix with his Pudding Milk Tea.

After that Yum Cha with they all, i went to this Sze Chuan Restaurant for dinner with
all my relatives, celebrating my grandfather's birthday.
Food was good, as expected to my expectation. Nice !

Sitting same table with all my cousins, and here are some of the dish. I think altogether
around 7 dish. Overall not bad.

And here's my favourite chicken chop noodle.
4.5 star food ! haha !

Back at my aunt's house. My Aunt and his son came over to lepak. My Aunt tied his hair
because of the hot weather. He look so cute, and he look like a girl. Haha !

Syok Sendiri!

Finally, he cannot take it. He dont like it and want to take it off.

Trying his best but still didn't manage to take it off.

He cant talk yet but im pretty sure he is super excited when my aunt took the hairband off.

Although he cant talk yet, but sometimes he just try to say it. He just cant pronounce it correctly. Example 'Mamma = Na na', 'Goh Goh = doh doh'
And everytime i want him to call me i need tempt him with a candy.
But on my last day, the last time i saw him, i asked him to call me and say bye bye,
he did it, he say without me giving any candy. He just say it like that and wave bye to me.
almost made me cry ! Bugger !! haha !! cheeky fella! lookign foward to see him next year and
new baby cousin !! Coming soon !

Went to Bukit Padang again with my aunts to eat this
famous Tau Fu Fah. KL Tau fu Fah sucks, need to chew. But for this Tau Fu Fah,
its so so so soft. You can just swallow it like that without chewing. Its softer than jelly, pudding
and bird nest. 5STAR!!!!

On second last day, i met up with Felix, Andrew Lau Sr, Zia Hau and family, Cheryl Ho,
David Lee and Kenneth Theong. Bunch of them came from KL to visit. So me and Felix
brought them to OneBorneo to jalan-jalan and makan.
Then me and Felix went to the toilet, need to pay 30cents to enter.
And inside is so Canggih Monkey ! Got Small screen !! Can watch movie trailer while
you are peeing.

Every 'shhe shhe' bowl also got one screen to view. So i guess my 30cents is worth it.

Felix is so amazed with the 'screen' in the toilet. Clean and Canggih! Told David Lee,
and he quickly go in just to check it out and take pic

After dinner with the whole group, we brought them to YOYO again. If i count, i drank 3 cup
on that day. So here is the pic of one of the branch in KK. Cool right, two storey cafe, Long queue.
Just selling drinks. KL bubble tea still got a long way to catch up man. Honestly, Yoyo
Bubble Tea is seriously good !! A must try!

So basically that's all about my Chinese New Year Trip back in my hometown. A relaxing and frutiful holiday. I think this is my first super duper long post. Now im already looking foward for next year Chinese New Year. Hopefully it will be a better year than this year!
My mind is blank now, i guess i should just stop here and back to posting some korean songs that i like.
