Chinese New Year Eve 2011 in Russia

How I celebrate my Chinese New Year eve at Russia?
After 5pm, I went back to haunted house as usual.
We start to prepare food for tonight.
I start to cook curry chicken and rendang chicken at the same times.
Before that, we plan to have a snow fighting at the garden.
Day getting darker and darker…
At the end, we cancel the activities.

After finish cooking, it is 7pm here.
I make few calls back to my family.
When I call back to my daddy, he totally cannot recognize my voice.
He thought I am his friend in KL.
Maybe, my russian slang is too strong.
At another side in KL, my wife and my little Vanessa are waiting my call too.
I feel really good when my daughter greet to me:
新年快乐” and “恭喜发财

This year Chinese New Year is bit calm.
No fire cracker sound around.
No holiday, nobody celebrate it in Russia.
Am I alone here?

After finish my call,
I went to kitchen to prepare all the stuffs for dinner.
Suddenly, my fellows’ friends and 3 Russian translators greet to me:
恭喜发财
I feel shocked a bit! Wakakaka
Food we prepare for the dinner. 
 Curry Chicken Or Rendang Chicken?
 Rendang Chicken or Curry Chicken?

Look almost the same!
Honestly, I don’t know to cook Rendang Chicken.
Just throw the recipes inside the bowl and cook.
Anyhow, all the food is inside our stomach now.
It is a simple dish for my reunion dinner.
It is not easy for 3 Russian friends to finish the food. J
I still need to improve my skill a bit.

Friends with me – Chinese Re-union dinner.



P/s: I hope that next chapter is Snow fighting between 3 Russian with 3 Malaysian.
I need your wishes to win this game.

Surprised me you can cook bro haha..Whatever chicken or gai, curry or rendang does not matter as long as you are happy at that very moment is most important. Glad you spoke to Vanessa & wife and family members on the CNY eve.
