Today is the 15th Day of the Chinese New Year, or better known as Chap Goh Meh. So what have I done over the CNY? Nothing much but eat and make merry. Baked a pineapple cake for my brother's get=together on the first day of the New Year. It was my second attempt at this cake, but using a different recipe which I found online. It was a great hit among the family. Ah, the caramelised pineapple was yummy!

The food at my brother's place was quite awesome, some traditional goodies mixed with the modern to tempt everyone's tastebuds.
It has been a good start to the new year - good atmosphere at home despite the worries about jobs and colleges. I am hopeful that the Year of the Dragon will bless the family and bring us much peace and joy.
There is so much to look forward to - a tragedy that befell a friend's family made me see how important it is that we live our lives with no regrets, no bitterness and most of all, no wishing for what might have been. Live each day as fully as you can and go to bed content at the end of fulfilling day.
May the new year bless us all!
