I can't believe how fast January is coming to an end! One minute we all started school and now a month is going by. Time sure does fly. I was sitting on my chair this morning, half way getting down and dirty for history and suddenly it acquire to me that Chinese New Year is just about two weeks away! And so is Valentine's day X) I'm not hoping much but I sincerely wished something would happende on that day with him.
Today I went to my grandma's house to make love letters or as we chinese love to call them, Kuih Kapit! It was a fun and enjoyable moment. I've honestly never make love letters before. Sorry lah! I live under a rock...>_>
So firstly, when I reached there, I contemplate on the equipments needed to make love letters.
This is to make the shape
Batter
So my grandmother was making sure that the fire wouldn't die of, my aunt and uncle were in charge of making sure that the batter was backed, and my cousin and I were in charge of folding it :D
Folding...
Folding some more...
Tada~Haha sorry if it looks revolting. The funny part was my grandmother and uncle arguing. They were arguing about methods to increase the fire for the charcoal. My uncle wanted to use the fan, while my grandmother being medieval wanted to just fan it with her own hands. Well in the end, both method were used so it was a success :)
In the night, we went to China Town for Cheongsam shopping! Can't imagine how I would look in cheongsam? Too bad, you'll have to be patient and see it for yourself!
