CNY IN DOHA,QATARFirst day of CNY was very interesting.Well,my parents didn't have any plans and did not plan this CNY dinner carefully,maybe because we didn't have the festive mood for CNY.We decided to just walk in and try our luck.Unfortunately,all the chinese restaurants were fully booked.So we had dinner at the international buffet,movenpick.
It was ok,just that most of the food was western and abit disappointing.
Anyway,mum decided to invite a few family friends over for dinner on saturday and sunday night.Sheen and her family came over on saturday night.Lishan and I had to help mum cook and prepare/set up the tables etc.We live in a small apartment so it was quite squishy but I was glad and happy by the end of it!!!On sunday night(jeng jeng jeng jeng), mum invited this qatari fella which was a bit weird.Anyway,on cny,he kept on talking bout his mum's death and how he buried her etc.I mean it's really not nice to mention about sad things on cny!Its bad luck!!i believe abit in all the hocus pocus chinese tradition so i didnt really like that.Su mei and family came so did gayathree and her bro.It was a good turnout and i had so much food!Family reunions are the best thing on cny!
I'm going back in 3 days time and I'm excited somehow not only coz i get to start studying again but also i get to settle all my other things like the exchange and the uni books etc.this experience has been awesome but i think its only nice to come here once and thats it...3 months is too long for me lol.i'll update on my next post bout the things ive done here so far...
