Ushering in the year of the RatThe spread was enormous by any standards. My sister-in-law has prepared a meal fit for a king! It was steam-boat at its max!
I was introduced to her uncle and aunt. The uncle and aunt were both university lecturers who are fully retired. The uncle was a socio-anthropology lecturer at UKM while his wife was a Chinese language lecturer at Universiti Malaya. We made small conversation and they left early since they are Dubai-bound the next day to visit their daughter, married to a Malay working with Standard-Chartered in Dubai.
After they huge dinner, we walked around Setia-EcoPark as fire-crackers and fireworks loudly rang in the new year of the water rat.
We then dropped by for a midnight drink at Valarie's place for a whisky and some bak kua. After a bout of friendly banter, we left for home.
Reflecting on it, it sure was a special way to bring in the auspicious day!
