Chinese New Year Celebration at Austin China Town

The Chinese New Year celebration at Austin China Town was held the week after the first day of Chinese New Year. The crowd was so huge that we couldn't find a spot at the normally ample spaced parking lot! People of all races gathered to watch the lion and dragon dance. Good that i got the chance to experience the new year atmosphere here on the American soil.

Guan Yuan

Guan Yuan is Eng Yeow's eldest son. He likes to pose and keep asking me to take his photo. A natural model, a cute boy he is. Eng Yeow is contemplating whether to buy a SLR or not... i bet he needs one! :D

Chinese New Year Away from Home

This is my first time celebrating Chinese New Year away from home, abroad in Austin. Luckily my Penang colleagues were around. How I celebrated my Chinese New Year without my family around?

The celebration started with few of my Penang colleagues having our reunion dinner on Friday night at Ho Ho Restaurant. Eng Yeow's family and Chee Heng's family graciously invited me to had lunch and dinner respectively during Chinese New Year Eve and the first day of Chinese New Year together with them. The Penang team also gathered at Azian's house for Nasi Lemak and Laksa as dinner during Chinese New Year Eve. Eng Yeow and Chee Heng later proceed to my house for some drinking and chatting. My Chinese New Year is not that bad after all...

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy, Healthy and Harmonious Tiger Year!

Below are some photos taken during our dinner at Ho Ho...

Trail to Work

The apartment i am staying right now is just behind the place i work. Hence, most of the time, i walk to work. The trail to work cuts across a small woods and a stream. It was a short trail where it normally won't take me more than 10 minutes to reach office.
