Every year without fail, we'll be back to Indonesia for CNY and this year's no exception. We had a lengthy 1 week stay there gorging on new year goodies, otah and karopok. I think I should have easily gained 4 kg on this eating spree.
If you agree, CNY this year is exceptionally dry and hot. There was hardly any rain and because of the dry spell, Indo's house's rain water reserve was used up and the whole family has to use spring water (bought from the government) from big barrels. It was SO SO SO... inconvenient and troublesome not having water running from taps. I count my blessings not having to worry about the shortage of water, food or electricity in Singapore.
My girl celebrated her English birthday on Lunar NY Day 4 in the pleasant company of grandparents, many cousins, uncle and aunts. She collected a lot of additional ang baos too!

Catching guppies for good luck. 'Cos... 'Nian Nian You Yu'!
Swallows are abundant in Indonesia. Some Indonesian Chinese striked it rich by just selling bird's nest. During yesteryears good times, a kg can fetch S$2000! My god. If you convert to rupiah, this earning can last them a few months! Because it is so lucrative, Yue Niang in Little Nyonya was trading in birds nest too! I borrowed from grandma some freshly picked, unprocessed bird's nest and snapped some pictures for fun sake. Not many people has the fortune to see raw bird's nest hor.
