This was the first lunch I had with my badminton-playing Mothers group (Chinese, Hongkies, Taiwanese, Malaysians and Singaporeans) and boy, was it fun! We went to this restaurant out of chance because the one we wanted to go to went out of business

When my sister sent me the link to Red FM, I was ecstatic that I could listen to Malaysian news reports and popular English hits like Timbaland’s “Apologize” (my current fave), Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” (so appropriate!), Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose”, good old Fleetwood Mac and yummylicious Enrique Iglesias…

It’s coming close to a month since the melamine in milk scandal in China broke out.
CRYING OVER SPLIT MILK…
When the news got out, we literally had to throw out all milk and dairy products such as:

Ok, I really need the experts on Chinese culture and customs to help me out on this one. As my father had recently passed away, I’m wondering if I can celebrate Chinese New Year?
