Chinese New Year and another visit to Milse! [Confetti]

First of all, happy Chinese/Lunar New Year everyone! For all the horses out there, I hope you stocked up on your red knickers for the year! (jks, does anyone even still believe that superstition???)


It’s been a long-standing Chinese tradition to stuff one’s face full of yummy food and Chinese spirits on new year’s eve with the extended family. But all my relatives are in China and I didn’t get to go back this year for a visit :/

My mom and I spent the NYE at our family friends’, and in fact they’re pretty much our ‘family’! We went over for Christmas as well (you can see the food, and all my selfies with their dog Rainnie here), but our CNY feast is thankfully much more humble.

Milse

So yesterday, I had my first dinner of the lunar new year in the company of two girls I rarely get to meet up with. One of them left the city to go back to uni, so I won’t be seeing her for another couple months (T_T) and the other just came back from an exchange to the States!

I had such a good time catching up with these girls I’ve known since high school (omg so many years ago!), over some of Milse’s new desserts of the season~ I hope we can do it again next time everyone is in Auckland! （*´▽｀*）

Here are some of the desserts from last night. A couple of them were long demolished before I arrived and made sure everything was captured on camera though :’(

KTV Girl's Night last Saturday, and wishing you a happy Chinese New Year! :D

Recently I've been on a singing streak, going ktv at least once every weekend @_@

Perhaps it's because I hardly went ktv at all last year, so this year I'm catching up? lol at least my throat hasn't started hurting!

Last weekend I was taking photos for some reviews, so I brought along my DSLR and took some photos with my girls. Silly me hadn't charged the battery in at least a fortnight, so I didn't get many photos :'(

I took out the drunk looking selfies - even though no-one was actually drunk. It's just lovely how my DSLR is so great at taking photos when people are half-blinking LOL.

I haven't gone out with my high school girls in at least a couple months. In fact we rarely meet up during the year because they're so hardout at uni, studying in the library (or hermit-ing in the architecture building) from morning to night and only leaving for classes ==

And also, some aren't even in the city during the year :'(


One of these girls is going back down to Dunedin on Saturday, so we're seeing her off with some dessert at Milse where I once binged at for the sake of reviewing. #bloggerexcuses



I ALMOST FORGOT! It's Chinese New Year's Eve today! Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Have a great year of the horse! ^^
