Like You Haven't Got Enough from Melbourne

This city is just driving me crazy.. In a good way obviously..
cause just when i started to feel like i know this city a little bit more, kapaw kapaw boom..!!
Here you go, the city decided to throw an all night long extravagant event for the first time ever..

White Night Melbourne - A night like no other
A night like no other it was indeed..
I kept on saying that this feels like New Years Eve all over again to G.. but not till 6am in the morning, after i got my 4 hours sleep only, that i realise this is nothing like New Years Eve.. this is bigger!
People are still cramming up everywhere.. they are all excited, energized and most of all - still up for this whole from dusk till dawn.. i have to say am impressed, i wish i can pull an all night long like those every weekend..
owh.. and i cant help but smiling when i walked pass a crowd in front of Flinders Station at 6.50am cheering a mini orchestra to play one last song after they finished playing their - supposed to be last performance to conclude the event..
This whole cheerfulness, happiness, and just crazy act everywhere is contagious..
Am loving it.. thank you Melbourne one more time, for proving to be a what so called Most Liveable City in the World..

Anyway, i know that Facebook, Light projection all across city - Flinders Station

A night like no other
Free jazz performances, all night long - aka bad night sleep for some ;)
White Night, ey?
Pretty light projection on the bridge across Yarra River
G's rocking the line and swing dance =)

The year of the water snake 2013 ~ and good luck food

Say goodbye to the dragon year..
as this will be year of the snake

We've been busy cleaning the house,
getting fruits, buying new sheets, clothes and even new sofa cover..
argh i couldnt be happier..

G was such a great help too..
On the night at CNY eve, we went to have a whole fish for dinner and some spring rolls for good luck..
We ate our new year cake.. and a lot and lot and lot of sweets..
Funny thing, with all of this CNY stuff going on, G took me to this Spanish festival at Fed Square on saturday with the others..

Anyway..
I found this list of food that the Chinese believe to bring a good luck..
How many out of those did you eat?
=)


"Dumplings (jiao zi) are shaped like golden ingots, or  yuan bao, which were used as money during the Ming Dynasty. Serving them brings the promise of wealth and prosperity. The more dumplings you eat, the more money you can make in the New Year.
Noodles/ misua—for long life
Hair seaweed (fat choy) with dried oysters (ho see)—they sound like the Chinese words for “wealth and good business.”
Lotus roots (lin ngau)—for abundance year after year
Lettuce, in Mandarin, sounds like “growing wealth.”
Lengua—when the pig’s tongue is served, it symbolizes “profit.”
Platter of five meats or vegetables—“Five Blessings of the New Year,” referring to longevity, riches, peace, wisdom, virtue
Fish—symbolizes a profitable year ahead.
Vegetables—freshness means lasting fortune.
Balls: Fish (yu-wan)/ meat  (jou-wan)—the round shape of meat and fish balls symbolizes “reunion” and “togetherness.”
Radish/ Turnip Cake—Chinese for radish is tsai tou, which means “good omen.”
Poon Choi/ Big Bowl Feast—dish made of pork, chicken, beef, duck, prawns, tofu, abalone, dried mushrooms, Chinese radish, layered on top of one another, usually braised and served in a wooden bowl. Food in the bowl is shared, a communal activity, so dish promotes family relations.
Whole chicken with head and feet—boosts family togetherness, happiness.
Egg and spring rolls—shaped like gold bars, which connote wealth
Oranges, bamboo shoots and black moss seaweed—promotes wealth
Dried bean curd—happiness
Eggs—fertility
Chinese garlic chives—promotes long life.
Lychee, nuts—promotes close family ties.
Peanuts—long life
Pomelo—promotes abundance, prosperity, fertility and having more children.
Seeds, e.g. lotus or watermelon seeds—having many children
Tangerine citrus food—related to the mandarin orange and promotes good luck
Oysters, seaweed, abalone, and sea cucumber are added to the feast as symbols of good fortune."

Impossible - James Arthur [Shontelle]

I remember years agoSomeone told me I should takeCaution when it comes to loveI did
And you were strong and I was notMy illusion, my mistakeI was careless, I forgotI did
And now when all is doneThere is nothing to sayYou have gone, and so effortlesslyYou have wonYou can go ahead tell them
Tell them all I know nowShout it from the roof topsWrite it on the sky lineAll we had is gone now
Tell them I was happyAnd my heart is brokenAll my scars are openTell them what I hoped would beImpossible, impossibleImpossible, impossible
Falling out of love is hardFalling for betrayal is worstBroken trust and broken heartsI know.. I knowThinking all you need is thereBuilding faith on love and wordsEmpty promises will wearI know.. I know
And now when all is goneThere is nothing to say
And if you’re done with embarrassing meOn your own you can go ahead tell them
Tell them all I know nowShout it from the roof topsWrite it on the sky lineAll we had is gone now
Tell them I was happyAnd my heart is brokenAll my scars are openTell them what I hoped would beImpossible, impossibleImpossible, impossible
I remember years agoSomeone told me I should takeCaution when it comes to loveI did
Tell them all I know nowShout it from the roof topsWrite it on the sky lineAll we had is gone now
Tell them I was happyAnd my heart is brokenAll my scars are openTell them what I hoped would beImpossible, impossibleImpossible, impossibleImpossible, impossible
