Chinese New Year 2010

On the 5th day of the Chinese New Year (Feb 18), my friends and I met up for our so called "annual gathering" This year's was a little late....many of the gals have came and gone! Anyhow, we have a special guest this year...Mary Cheah.... flew in from Vancouver to attend her aunt's 80th birthday celebration.
We had an enjoyable lunch at the Indulgence Restaurant, Ipoh - a treat from Micheal Lee.

A day earlier, I met up with two members of NNC who happened to be visiting their families in Ipoh - Paul and Ann. Ann is a very new member and she is very enthusiastic about what we do in the group. Incidentally, Paul and Ann have signed up for the current 'blue' pincushion exchange co-ordinated by Usha and Paul has been assigned to send to Ann.....*grin*

oooOoooOooo

This Chinese New Year is one of the hottest I've experienced - the heat and humidity makes one want to stay indoors! There has not been any rain since the first day - 14th February - of the celebration!
This afternoon DD went back to campus as classes will resume on Monday and I have to go back to work on Monday, too.........:(

NNC 1st Annivesary Meet

We had our meet on 3rd November 2007 at Nik's house in Subang Jaya. I didn't take any photos, but you can view them here at the Group's photo page. Thank you to Nik and Margaret for organizing this meet which I enjoyed very much and thanks also to all those who brought all those lovely yummy foods...forgotten how many helpings I had!

Part of the food we had!

Yummy!

We had a gift a gift exchange too. I made a mini quilt called "Token of Friendship" to commemorate this event and crocheted 4 doilies. They were drawn by Faizon.
