Chinese New Year 2009!



























It
was certainly a happy festive week filled with lots of merry drinking, eating and silly talks.


















In Singapore, traditionally, they eat YUSHENG (a sort of appetizer salad with raw salmon, which is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor)(and it tastes pretty good).
The higher you mix and toss the salad, the more luck you get - so it felt like this year was especially messy and loud!

















I guess it's quite real that everyone can do with lots of luck this year.
















Lasse came from Denmark for a week. Yayoi-san's last months in Singapore as she will leave everything behind and move to Denmark for good end of March.....

It's a big loss for me but I'm very happy for her and will definitely visit them!!
