The USM CNY Buddy Buddy Get Together - 5 February 2012

Yes, we were a party of 10. Lending support for the occasion were Derek and Catherine, Saik Tat, Gim Ooi,Say Chuan, Yau Kok, Richard, Patrick, Jenny  and yours truly.

Good to meet Again 

A year older and wiser, hopefully

Swee Pin, Poh Guat, Lay Chooi, Chee Kiang, Lee Kiang, Chia and Kooi Ming sent regrets and regards.

Having a good time

As Chap Goh Mei will fall  tomorrow, the Golden Dragon City Restaurant was jam packed and the captains of the restaurant were just too busy to take care of all the tables clamouring for service.

Exchanging opinions

For a change, we decided not to take a set menu but ordered ala carte. It was a refreshing change to have the ordinary and not the usual cut and dry Chinese New Year menu of yee sang, suckling pig, nien kao and the like.

Relaxing after a good meal

This is not a bad restaurant

The roast duck was good and so was the polo pai kuat.

Richard-Back from Jakarta

Patrick-All the Way from JB

As usual, we traded stories, opinions and relive good ole times.

A time to bond!

To cap the occasion, we had teh tarik in an open car park opposite the restaurant.

We are grandparents!

Times of our lives! 

 Making a presence after a long while

Who can Jenny be texting?

Let's Drink Up

I thought it was a good night outing as we all drove home separately into the night.

Let's go for a teh tarik!

Agree or Disagree

Is this the fool-proof interpretation of the words of a woman?

Reflect and meditate

USM Buddy Buddy CNY Dinner Gathering for 2012

Oh, there are many of us who are dragon children-the most auspicious of the heavenly animals in the Chinese almanac. So, whatever the element be it water or fire for the year, celebrate we must!

Lousang!

 As such,  a Chinese New Year dinner has been organised and some of our friends have confirmed attendance at this special occasion to renew our camaraderie and to properly usher in the new year in our usual USM style, lousang and all!

This year we will have the dinner on 5th February at our usual haunt-the Golden Dragon City Restaurant in Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya.

Nien Nien Yu Yee!

Attending will be Catherine and Derek, Moses Lee, Gim Ooi, Say Chuan, Jenny, Richard, Yau Kok and your truly. I have yet to get responses from Kooi Ming and Chia. Chee Kiang and Lee Kiang will be away in Penang and the others, somehow or other are as busy as always!

This is Malaysian Interlanguage!

Yes, you must get used to the local  nuances when English is spoken among the Malaysians particularly those with half their education in Mandarin and the other half in English. Mixed it up with maybe a a dialect or two and pronto evolves a very lively glossary of daily terms used to spice up conversation. Look at  words in the picture below and use them when you come to town,won't you?

Walla! What a Language!

The Fifth Circle of Dragons

Bold and Beautiful

Yes, the fifth circle of dragons can be mighty old. Right?

We are the Fifth Circle if you were born in 1952.

Year for Marriage and Babies

So, you have one great year to look forward and to do good to humankind.

For those sans health problems and can still travel, do it this year.
Let it be local travel if you do not like the long haul.

To those who can donate, do a little donation to the needy now and then.

Power and Generosity

Go home and see your old folks. Give them money because it means more to them. Treasure the opportunity to give to loved ones.

Power of the Dragon

Visit friends. Forget about old enmities, ancient jealousies,class, rank and race. Forget the rat race;forget about collecting properties and shares. Bond whenever you can even if it is over teh tarik at Kayu's

Eat what you love but in moderation.

Have one great dragon year,you hear?
