with just enough time to drive from KL international airport to my grandma's for the reunion dinner, i then spent the majority of CNY in australia - basically melting in sydney and riding the heatwave in melbourne.

the thing i miss the most about this season is the yee sang / lo hei.
indeed, it is a truly chinese malaysian dish, enjoyed by families only during the 15-day period and some have called this the "chinese salad".

after 2 weeks of sweltering under the burning sun, i was greeted back in europe with the snowstorm that has swept all across the region. the quiet scene at the airport was almost creepy.

talk about two ends of a spectrum.
well, the snow have melted and the sun is showing its face again -- i'm so glad it's almost spring!!
