The Chinese New Year has always been a time of feasting for the Chinese, of course, it’s no exception for me. Last night, I started my first round of feasting with my ex-colleagues at the Grand Park Hotel. We even had the ‘Lau Yu Shen’ before we hit the buffet counters. The buffet spread was pretty decent. However, the only complaint I have was the music at the bar. The musicians were singing extremely old hits such as the Carpenters. The choice of songs just made me feel that I was in some 1970s lounge which my parents would probably have gone for a romantic dinner back when they were dating. I thought the ambience would be better if there was some jazz music playing in the background instead. Nonetheless, we had a swinging good time yesterday catching up with one another.

With all the reunion dinners and gatherings coming up in the next 2 weeks, I will have at least another 3 rounds of feasting! Looks like I've got to be extra careful with what I eat now. Cut down on snacking, no fast food, and eat lots of greens and fruits!

Hmm... so it shall be fish soup mee suah for dinner today then!
