Pigs

It's Chinese New Year eve. We Malaysian chinese gathered at Hao Ming Chinese Restaurant to celebrate this year of pig. There are total of 2 batches of Malaysian here in Mangalore now. We seniors + juniors + invited msian indians and local indians + friends from Manipal (altogether 47 of us) booked half of the restaurant to have a reunion dinner on CNY eve. There were lots problems on making this dinner: money problem, menu problem, number of people problem etc, but i was glad the thing still turned out to be a success. We had some specially made chinese food, and the taste were great and the amount is enormous. All of us ate like a pig but still there were a lot of left over. We enjoyed meeting our fellow Malaysians who're together stuck in this foreign city; talking to each other; and taking pictures together. The dinner started at 7pm till 10pm. After the dinner, we played fire crackers till 11. Then, i went to gamble with friends while drinking wine in the apartment till 4am. I won some amount of money, which made up of the wine i sponsored, haha. The next day, which is the first day of new year, my friend Meng Yee organised an open-house. The girls prepared some nice food and cookies, and we guys helped in the arrangement of table and serving the guests. We invited all the Malays in our batch, and all of us had some great time together too. At night i was already damn tired but fun. At least this year we had a better new year than last year:there're more chinese here, more events, more food, and i won more money, hehe... I was very relieved that the dinner was a big success cz all responsibility was on me. However, next year i'm hoping for a better one cz there'll be even more Malaysians coming... Okay, that's all.. Wishing everyone a happy chinese new year 2007.

恭喜发财，身体健康， 学业进步， 生意兴隆， 猪年行好运。
