Chap Goh Meh

What is Chap Goh Meh?

Chap Goh Meh or Tzap Goh Mei (十五暝; pinyin:shí wǔ wěi; lit. "fifteen night") represents the fifteenth and final day of the Lunar New Year period as celebrated by Chinese migrant communities. The term is from the Hokkien dialect and refers to the fifteenth day of the first month, which is the occasion of the first full moon of the New Year.

The occasion is marked by feasting and various festivities, including the consumption of tangyuan.



Tāngyuán is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour.

In traditional Chinese culture, it is also celebrated as the Lantern Festival or the Shang Yuan Festival. In Southeast Asia, however, it coincides with the Chinese Valentine's Day. It is also when young unmarried women gather to toss tangerines into the sea, in a hope that their future spouse will pick it up – a custom that originated in Penang, Malaysia. In the past, this was also the only day that unmarried ladies could be seen with their partners.

Hygiene in the kitchen

Mummy always worry about the food safety implications of cooking my food. This is because almost everything i own have to be sterilised and so she became obsessed over the smallest details. Washing my bottles and accessories with 'BottleNipple & Vegetables Liquid Cleanser' is a must for her!

To ensure the food mummy prepare for me is safe, she...

* Always wash her hands before she start.
* Make sure the pots for boiling my food is wash in hot, soapy water. Then air-dry the pot, instead of using a tea towel.
* Wash the meat and vegetables with cold, running water.
* Uses plastic or glass cutting boards because wooden ones tend to harbour bacteria.
* Refrigerate my freshly cooked food within 2 hours. Bacteria can grow at room temperature after this time.

Anyways, what she should realise by now is that she can't possibly keep everything in my world sterile.. hehe..because i like putting my toys into my mouth and even grabbing the tv remote and start chewing on it!

But i guess its okay..because i remember the doctor saying "Let him play with dirt.. eat bugs" or is it "Play with bugs ... eat dirt" keh keh keh.. doctor orang putih tah banar...Suruh nya ku makan pasir..Cheh! Macam dalam movie. And eveytime i went to visit this particular doctor.. No shoes allowed! Yea that's right..Mr Doctor nda suruh pakai kasut..Why? Will it stop my feet from growing? Hmm.. i will look into that topic later.

"Let your child explore things" he said. So now im exploring things. I find myself loving the outdoors! I love watching the cars pass by my house. I love watching the flowers and the plants move.

"Peace Yo"



Sometimes i watched Daddy play RC (remote control). He is still learning to control that thing. He crashed into my stroller a couple of times. Bari Tekajut! Hehe..



I love the outdoor so much that mummy let me have my meal out in the balcony yesterday afternoon.




Which reminds me, somebody asked mummy the other day: "Syazwan makan sudah?"

I then realised i forgot to blog about it.. hehe

"Sudahh"

"Bila?"

"Seriatu sudah...on the 1st of February..Masa atu Syazwan almost 6 months"

"I see...Apa Syazwan makan?"

"Syazwan makan bubur ayam & carrot, bubur ikan & sawi, bubur daging & labu"

"All at once?!

"Haha...No lah..Different variety everyday"

"Oh i see...brapa kali sehari..? Atu saja makan nya? How about udang?"

"Well..he eats twice daily...Ohh..he love bananas. Must have one in between meals or after. Doctor advise jangan dulu makan udang pasal masa ani skin Syazwan sensitive"

"Ahh i see...menyusu ia jua?"

"Yes of course"

"Ahhh...padan tah bulat!"

Her husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business fell, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. When I think about it now. ....I think you bring me bad luck!"


A woman rushed home from work and exclaimed to her husband, "Pack your bags, I've won the lottery!"
The husband excitedly asks, "Should I pack clothes for cold or warm weather?"
She says, "Pack'em all, you're leaving!"


A man walks into a post office one day and sees a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.
His curiosity gets the better of him; he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says, "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'"
"But why?" asks the man.
"I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies.
