masterwordsmith-unplugged

As a result of my accident, it has been a challenging time to battle pain and to recover. I did not do much this CNY except to rest and rest. Day 1 of CNY saw my family at The China House in Penang where my son performed with his friend.




The only home I visited so far is Marcel's place. Marcel and I have been friends since 1978 and we worked together in a musical in 1987. Currently, he and his wife Elizabeth and son Asher reside in Auckland. Apart from eating the yummy stuff prepared by Elizabeth and Marcel's mom, we had a musical evening together....Marcel also composes and has released his own album...

Today, a group of former students visited me...something they always do each Chinese New Year since 1998 (with the exception of 2012 when I was away). Here's what I served....


I had a tough time preparing lunch as I woke up late...as a result of my medication and kept reheating/defrosting till my microwave oven was fused...and kabooooooom...

We had a great time and I am so proud of them. Each of them has carved a niche in their career and have beautiful kids. For fifteen years, we will take a pic here in my sitting room before we say adios...



Even my dog, Tiger, had a great time with them...and by the time everyone left, he was completely knackered.



So that's my simple Chinese New Year. I did not go out as I am still on painkillers and other medication. Am not able to drive yet...Life is so short....Carpe diem!
