CNY 2008 Open House

7th Feb 2008. CNY celebration this year greeted the Year of the Mickey Mouse. Started my day in front of the TV set. The uncles dropped by our house @ around 10.00am on their way to the nearby houses. Told them the open house will only start around 11.00am and we invited them in for breakfast.

We left the house @ around 11.00am in 3 cars and took a short drive to the neighbour houses. There are 6 houses here belonging to 6 brothers and sisters of the Kah Huat family. Luckily, they have all agreed to celebrate together and have only one open house instead. Here, we were greeted by the so very friendly hosts, their spouses and children. The food was nice too. I was told that the caterer was a retired muslim teacher from Kg Penanjong.

Next destination was Kg Rimba. The house is located around the Rimba Housing Resettlement area. It is a very nice and cosy neighbourhood, and the host told me that the area is mostly occupied by Senior Government officers. I like the house, especially the backyard garden. The nice waterfall, which I have always dream of having something similar. The "koi" fish pond. The huts. Well, basically the whole garden lah. He he he. The foods here were also delicious. The host kept the last surprise towards the end, when he invited us to his "music room". It was a room dedicated for enjoying the art of audio visual. The walls have been redesigned to absorbed the sounds from interfereing into the other rooms. Great Hi fi sets. Brilliant speakers. Big projector and pull down screen. He even put up some disco lights to add to the soft ambience of the room. He told me that the room was designed for party and watching movies. I jokingly told the host that all I need now are some pop-corns and good DVDs. Hahaha.
