As promised, tonite we had our CNY dinner. A few days late, but heck, who's counting! As long as it involves eating, we love any kind of celebration..

But to start the day of, I foolishly insisted my other half to trim my hair. He told me he would stuff it up and guess what, he was right! I told him to cut it off at the shoulder level, but maybe english is not his mother tongue because obviously he doesn't know what shoulder level means! I'm so thankful that I wear scarves when I go out or else I would have to start wearing a beret everywhere now. The moral of the story is, no matter how expensive hairdressers are, it's more expensive and humiliating to fix it afterwards! Well, it's partly my fault because the last time he tried to trim my hair, he nearly took half my ear off. Obviously, I haven't learned from past mistake. Husbands...need I say more...

The kids wanted waffles for breakfast this morning. Since it's Saturday, I didn't mind taking out the waffle maker and making them a batch. At least, the waffle maker is getting used...

Back to tonite's lavish dinner..I started in the morning making the mango jellies and cooking the tapioca balls so they would have had time to set by dinner time. The spring rolls and wontons are already waiting in the freezer. I made them and froze them a long time ago, I just hope they are still ok. Even the kids were eagerly awaiting dinner! They must think that their mum can cook :-).
