Im Chinese but I cant speak a word of it lol.

Got lots of red packets from my family dinner last night! 1 good discus worth!

[dachoo]

I would prefer more tanks over red packet. LOL

Anyway been very busy. Head- Chef for the last two days..

Lunar New Year Eve lunch & dinner...yesterday &
New Year lunch meal for some friends...today...

Oh didn't get extra tanks but I got this year Armani Collezioni that just been on at Milan....so that will do for this year...

Gong -Xi Gong-Xi everyone.... :D :D :D

I could buy a cheap tank but I have a 6x2x2 coming in a week or so. I would rather get another nice discus for it than to get another tank (which I dont have room for)

Alot of my friends think I spend hundreds of dollars on fish to eat lol

Hi

Dan

Fry five spices Meat/prawm Bean Curd. One of my favorite dish..

Look yummy... So you guy do have some chinese tradition with the whole fish & so on....

DA

[Dan]

Hey

I was born and brought up here so never really was fully into it all.
But parents still makes us follow a few of the traditions.
Ie. Mum buys that sticky cake thing which your meant to put in the kitchen and its got some story behind it like when the kitchen god comes to test your cooking, the cake sticks it mouth together so that it can't go back and say bad things about your cooking. Something like that... or so i've been told by mum....

I loved going to malaysia for Chinese new year and on the stroke of midnight how almost every household are trying to outdo each other with fireworks! Love playing with fireworks! The only bad thing is once everyone is done everyone hads in their house as the whole place suffocates in a blanket of smoke :lol:

Another great reason for Chinese new year in malaysia, is most of my relatives live there and my parents have MASSIVE families so lots of ang pow :D

And the atmosphere there with the hipe of Chinese new years always good :)

The worst thing about steamboat is that it takes SO LONG to eat food. I like large amounts of food NOW!

Hey,
you guys are welcome any time if you ever make it all the way to perth that is :lol:
But you got to question why you wanted to come to perth anyway seeing as you guys have everything over your side and more :D

Hey dachoo mums from Sawarak and dads from Penang.
But they met here in perth when they were studyin and have stayed here ever since.

[bushie]

hey dan,
they may have all the good fish over there but we have the sun, the sand, the surf, the beaches, the girls, the river, the pubs, the lifestyle.
not to mention rotto, margeret river, yallingup, ect ect ect.

and we can freight fish :lol:

[dachoo]

Dan

It a small world... I leave in Kuching, Sarawak for maybe 13 years..
Dad was a pilot so I travel a lot...
Have you been to Kuching. I going there for the next CNY.

DA

[fiftycal]

I was born in Taiping, as well as my dad. My mum and sis were born in Ipoh.

I used to be in a long distance relationship with a girl in Sibu. Visited her in Miri (where she goes to uni) once.

[dachoo]

Nice to know you too fiftycal.

Gee, A far bit of Malaysian born on this forum. I suppose we just have the fish keeping gene. I was born in Kuala Lumpur but live my childhood mostly in Kuching, KL & Singapore.

DA

[Dan]

Hey dachoo
Yep been to kuching and basically all over malaysia. Went I think last year or the year before for my mum's dads 89th Bday.
Very big celebration with a 9 layer cake! Mums got such a big family they hired out a whole floor of a restuarant for the celebration. Over 100+ relatives! Never met more than half of them before!

Hey bushie if you put it that way I guess its lucky we're in perth....
But from a 19 year olds Point of view, their side has all the night life :D

[fiftycal]

Good thing about Perth is that is a much shorter plane ride to Malaysia.

[bushie]

yeah, I spose I`m getting abit old these days.
they can keep their disco biscuit halls.
I`m quite happy to sit back in a nice pub over looking the ocean, live band playing and watching the sun go down.

oh, thats another thing, the sun sets over the ocean here. :D
