CNY reunion dinner in my hands!

Its 2 more days to the CNY reunion dinner .... and i am online sitting on my PC chair , swinging it E-style ( u have to see me in action to know what that means Hehehehehe!) I have always looked fwd to this time of year when i get to "balik kampung" and taste those yummy CNY dishes that only appear once a year. Oh and of course i loved the feeling of togetherness with my family as well.
This year tho , things have changed with the demise of my beloved mum ( god bless her beautiful soul) . Its been decided right after her funeral that we will all be spending CNY in my house instead ( faint faint) . I guess we all feel that it will be sad and traumatic for all of us to be in Ipoh , having the reunion dinner but not being able to be with my mum . U see, CNY for us is somewhat synonymous to MY MUM! She makes CNY such a special time with her cooking skills and all the love she puts in it. She obliges us with the gambling sessions even tho she doesn't really approve of it!!! She makes us laugh with her silliness and her "grandma" stories..... oops, i am still using the present tense !! And i am still drifting back to my mum as the topic!!!
OK, anyway , this year its been dumped on my lap so to speak! The CNY reunion dinner is now in my hands!!!! My family very cleverly volunteered me!!!!!! GEEZ!!!!
So with 2 more days to go , i am not frantically preparing like my mum used to do. I am surprisingly very calm and collected, very cool and .......CARELESS!!!! ????? A week ago i was reminded that its just 7 more days and i was like , yeah i know! Hehehehe, so i went out and randomly bought some minced meat and pork ribs. Then the next day i bought some other stuff that i THINK were the essentials ! Hahahaha! And then came home and dumped all those in the fridge.

Last night i was chatting with my brother online and he showed me one of my mum's recipes and i was like HUH??? what is that radish powder? .... and i didn't know we have to put spring onions into "bak kian" (meat rolls) !!!!!???? My eyes went @@ ! And then 2 hours ago my sis called and she was teasing me with her " Are u busy cooking ?" I said no i am still relaxing!!!! My brother in law asked me if they are suppose to sit at the dining table on CNY eve and lay their own eggs to eat! Heyyyy, good idea! Wink!!!!
I have slightly more than 48 hrs to cook up the whole reunion dinner and i am still swinging on my PC chair , knowing full well i will be the Mad Hatter when Sunday comes !
Wish me luck , girls!
