The 7th Day Of Chinese New Year

Because that we are so far from home, thus most people here in Moscow do not celebrate their Chinese New Year for years. But exception to those who are able to get their ass off to Malaysia during the winter break. And every year, every same thing that every block do is to have reunion dinner together, with bunch of friends or with only house-mates. I did not celebrate Chinese New Year for 4 years by now, but I never forget whats done and whats not during this special family gathering. And during this festive, we especially will have extraordinary feeling of missing home. Needless to say abt the foods =)

Today is the 7th day of the Chinese New Year cum Valentine's ( we assumed it because its the 9th day now keke), thus we decided to "Lou Sang" and have some small gathering together as how we always do. "Lou Sang" is a tradition known to be practised, during the Chinese New Year, Yee Sang is a traditional aspicious dish that symbolises the ushering of good luck, good health, wealth and longevity for the lunar new year. Lou Sang is merely the act of mixing together the Yee Sang dishes, which consists of the usual assortment of vegetables like white radish, crispy crackers, bits of pamelo sacs, pickled cucumber and carrots mixed with crumbs of nuts and sweet sauce along with slices of raw fish (usually salmon). And we have added fruits together like pears. Besides, we had "Loh Mai Kai"(also known as Chicken in Glutinous Rice), Foie Gras(also known as Goose Liver) and Chinese Crackers.

Every laughter associates with a little of sadness, I am sure in everyone, missing family so badly, esp myself.
I have so many wishes if I were to pray for it =)
