Chinese New Year Eve

Time passed really fast and it Chinese New Year (CNY). As usual during CNY eve we will have reunion dinner with family members or relatives. This is the 1st year that i celebrate CNY in Perth with my uncle. I was very excited and wondering how does Australian Chinese celebrate CNY.

My uncle had book a table at Royal Chinese Seafood Restaurant for 7pm 25.1.09. All the guest arrived the restaurant around 8pm and we started the dinner. The interior of that restaurant was fine and as can see that most of the Chinese community will have dinner with their family members in the restaurant rather than cook at home so that day the restaurant was crowded with people. Not only the Chinese were celebrating CNY but those angmo also celebrate it as well with their friends or family.

That restaurant hired lion dance performance from Mantis KungFu School and they had firecrackers and then come in the restaurant to perform. We all know that beside the lion dance always will have a taoist monk call Hungjunlaozu and as in the myth they believe that the Nian was then be the mount of Hungjunlaozu. The funniest thing is i dunno izit they make fun of it or do it on purpose because the Hungjunlaozu looks different from those that we saw b4. They decorate it to look like a punkster with ear rings all over the mask. Well, the performance was not that professional and well trained but yet still can entertain us as we know this is Australia and not in Asian country.

After the lion dance, dinner is about to start. we total of 12 dishes (9 main dishes and 3 desserts) The food was not really good as i guess that must be very rush or tired. If both reason also not then i think the restaurant must be lousy. They come out dishes quite slow and the services they provide is bad. the waiter even show face to us.

We finished the dinner 2 hours later and went to aunty's house and sing karaoke. It was fun and a memorable CNY eve dinner for me. I wish that the restaurant will improve next year and have a better servive too.

We'll always remember you bro

This year is the 8th year and yet i think all of us still miss you. Hope you will be fine and rested in peace. Don't worry about us that much as we are fine here and don't ever worry because we will not forget you.

Interesting fight

Is another year now and Chinese New Year is coming soon. I really need to get a nice haircut and be prepare for the coming Chinese New Year.

Today after work, me and cousin Jason went to Northbridge there to have a hair cut. We went to a Korean saloon named K3 Generation. The hairstylist there were good. I had my hair cut for $20 and i was satisfied with that. After hair cut, we decided to go yamcha at Icy Ice Cafe. The interesting thing begins here. On our way to Icy Ice cafe, we saw there are a bunch of people (2 women and some guys) opposite of the road looks like quarreling for something and someone try to cool them down. We thought that this will be over but who knows they continue quarreling while walking. Suddenly the guy with dark colour shirt give the white shirt woman a "Stone Cold Stunner". The lady drop down on the floor and on the same time the other guy with white shirt give the dark shirt guy a punch on his face. He stoned awhile and another guy push him on the road. There is a car passing by that time and he was lucky that he dropped down on the road after the car passed, if not he might die on the spot (Phew~).

The guy was not reconciled and he woke up and start fight with those guys. One punch on the right, another punch on the left. Both parties keep on punching and kicking each other. His shirt was tear off by that white shirt guy. The situation become more and more confusing while the girl with white shirt looks like trying to protect the darker shirt guy but in another way she was holding that guy and let the other guy hit him. Some outsiders that seems like their friends try to make him like a football and keep on kicking him on the floor. That guy was tough. Although he was injured but he still can stand up and try to fight back, but the opposition seems like 5 times more people. The crowd become bigger as people always like to watch free show (just like me. Hehehe) After 10 minutes of the fight, he know he cant defeat them so that he though about "Art of War by Tsun Zhi "---->RUN!!!

He tried to run as fast as he can to another end of the road but because of his body size he cant manage to do that and those guys rushed to him and strike him down. He knocked on the floor again and was beat up like a dog once again. His mouth was bleeding and whole body fulled with sand. It starts to off peak now as the police already arrived and they caught 2 people. Their hands were on handcuffs and after the police interrogate them then they were brought back to the station. The crowd starts to fade off and i think that they should get their punishment soon.

Time is not early and we decided to go back have dinner.
