No, it’s not about a video being shared by more than millions. That’s when the video gets trendy, or swag, in current terms.

Going viral is when everyone else in the world is replicating that ONE original video and mutating it as it goes along, adding all kinds of WTF elements that will make you want to share it even more, or even join in the fun!

And that’s exactly what happened with the “Do the Harlem Shake” video, for no seemingly apparent reason. For one, it’s not even a well edited video. Secondly, the music isn’t exactly Gangam-style-catchy (in fact, rather annoying!). Finally… it’s just plain stupid! Watch the original below to see what I mean, that got a whopping 6,271,971 views as of today!

Yeap, just wasted 5 minutes of your time didn’t you?

Now imagine…. hundreds and thousands of other people joining in the fun and making even more creative video, like the Harlem Shake Original Army Edition below, garnering a whopping 7,776,836 views! Check it out!

So I shan’t bother to share with you more videos since you can search for them yourself, but guess what… this Harlem Shake dance has even infected our own soil called Malaysia. Now everyone wants to take claim for being the first in Malaysia to start this stupidity, LOL! Check out one of the first ones below:

Harlem Shake (Malaysia Edition) 1915 views

That wasn’t all, it just gets better and better, with the Zainals joining in! Catch the vid below:

The Harlem Shake! (Zainals Style) 3,427 views

But the one that takes the cake is definitely @shawnleebeatbox’s edition. Super funny and awesome! Even better if he beatboxed it himself

Harlem Shake (SHAWN LEE EDITION) MALAYSIA! 2,801 views

Looks like the night of 17th was a night of crazy fun with all the fireworks going on, to the point where even WE got hooked into doing the Harlem Shake, Bai Ti Gong style!

If you like it, share it around and even create your own video, despite how stupid it may seem haha. I may even be tempted to do it myself! LOL I DID IT, thanks to Director Ah Eng & Videographer Wilson + all casts including the girlfriend @Jingy_Ron!. Remember to share it at the comment below so I can add it in the post ok?

Go check other Malaysian version of the viral video via this link and see how lame we can be XD

Most people don’t know that the songs played during Lion Dance has an important chorus that brings us all luck. I for one should know, seeing that I’ve performed Lion Dancing during my university days at Imperial College London (heck my team and I performed at Trafalgar Square in front of more than 10,000 people before!) so I really appreciate this age-old Chinese New Year tradition that has stuck around for so long, so much so that we should really keep it alive

Check out Grandpa’s version of it. You’ve really got to respect this one :p

I’m no Cantonese, but another tradition is that you have to wear a pair of Cheong Fu (long pants). The only issue is our grandparents usually want us to wear it up high, do you remember that?! Haha I’ll never get enough of it!

But Grandpa does! LOL

But hey I won’t judge you if you like that style up. Oppa-Grandpa Style, go faster record and post YOUR video up

Finally, since my ex is single (who ask her to diss CNY music?!) let Grandpa show you, oh might as well to all the single ladies also, on how to throw oranges and be more fruitful at finding love this Chap Goh Meh 

Seriously, I don’t know who comes up with these awesome videos but it really makes for a great laugh, and very appropriate too, since none of us actually spend time with our family more than with our own mobile phones, LOL, so why not show my blogpost to be your family entertainment this Chinese New Year?

Gong Hei Gong Hei, Gong Hei Fatt Choy, dear readers of mine! May you be blessed with prosperity and long life of many snakes to come

Best part of all is that we had an interesting mix of Malaysians across culture, race, gender and age!

Everyone came as one, to enjoy themselves in great company with great food. I cannot begin to describe the look of joy in their faces as they “toss” away

Ling here shows you how to  toss it super high. You know you didn’t do a good job if 1/5 of the Yee Sang didn’t make it out of the plate LOL!

Three tables altogether, and lots of old and new faces!

We couldn’t fit in so we had to takeover another long table LOL!

This Joanne took a photo of us dunno doing what lol!

Some of the food we ate… DELICIOUS!

It was a really great session and we ended up having a #postlousangtwtup at WIP, Bangsar, where some left to @redsheep house for gambling while others got back to their respective houses… Oh and we saw Dennis Lau too! Ok that was random lol.

Until then, Happy Chinese New Year peeps, have a great night and weekend!

Yin Yang Yee Sang (Tune Salmon Rotoulade) was obviously the number 1 to start with, beckoning wishes to be granted as we mixed the these ingredients together.

After the preparation is done by our dear waitresses,

the only thing left to do is to..

Share the joy while making wishes during the process of “Lou” which means to mix the Yee Sang! I don’t know what Esther is wishing for, but it must be great looking at her happy face!

As for me, this was my maiden Yee Sang session, and rightfully so since there’s no where else I want to break my Yee Sang virginity… I’ve really started to build a fondness for Prince Hotel, their ever lovely staff and of course, my beloved seasonal parking space for only RM110 a month!

Braised Pearl Shark Fin with Fish Maw in Supreme Golden Broth was next up in the menu and boy was it so darn tasty!

Here take a look at the Shark Fin.. it’s so refined and of course, ORIGINAL! I tell ya I couldn’t have enough of it even if I wanted to!

So what’s next? The Braised fried oysters with Fatt Choy, Mexican Soy Clams, Sea Cucumber and wok-fried greens of course, to signify green money!

My all time favourite though, was the Steamed Cod with Pickled Radish and Garlic in Supreme Soy Sauce! Utilizing the “Chai Poh”‘s (Pickled Radish) saltish sweet taste and combined with some spices with the fresh, yummy cod fish was probably one of the most fantastic experience ever!

Deep-fried Batter-dipped Prawns tossed with Fresh Lime Dressing was. the. bomb! At first I thought they tasted like Salted-Egg Prawns, before I realized that lingering tangy taste that sent explosions into my mouth!

Braised Duck with Dried Fish Maw and Dried Scallops. Well. At this stage, you know you can’t resist the calling to eat, and throw all signs of dietary plans. FML.

Last but not least, we had Fried Rice with Seafood and baby Abalone where you just can’t help but stare at those abalones. Surprisingly, though, they add value to the fried rice which I enjoyed very much

Finally, Hasmah with red dates and Glutinous Rice Dumplings to end the day. Looks heavenly, no?

Well, it is.

So that is, ladies and gentlemen, Prince Hotel’s famous Chinese New Year Fortune Set. For the kind of class and experience you would get in fine dining, this set is pretty reasonable with a price tag at RM1188 per 10 person. You’d probably want to bring only those who you really love though, money after all isn’t grown from trees.

As for me, I’d definitely bring my nucleus family, for everything they’ve done to get me where I am today. I shall pay them back in all exquisiteness, flowing with a first class charmed Chinese New Year!

Ok I lied. It’s cause this Tai Zi Heen serves one of the bestest Guo Ling Gou herbal jelly I’ve ever sinked my teeth into… Yummy pandan waft eminating from it, pieces of sago and sea coconut lending the sweetness to our firm jelly covered in light syrup… OMG I WANT ONE NAO!

Nicholas decided one day that he wanted to show off his father’s awesome cooking that he’s been telling us about, and fortunately for us the fateful day came. It was to be a small group gathering filled with food, mahjong and poker cards, just the way I like it

Huai Bin wasn’t sure where his house was in Desa Park City, and since I had the privilege to accompany Nicholas home once for some skiiing session (wtf) I offered to guide him there and so he came to my house to tailgate my car. It was pretty darn funny cause he turned on his emergency lights all the way while tailgating, making me look like the leading car wherelse he was the VIP being chauffered around. Guess HB always has his special way of doing things out of the ordinary eh?

Needless to say as soon as we arrived, Nick’s mom threw her best hospitability skills which were awesome and made us feel at home, which wasn’t hard cause all she had to do was to push them beautiful and aromatic dishes our way and made us melt. This Homemade Spring Roll was one of them, and I have to tell you it’s one of the tastiest springroll I’ve eaten for some time!

But the dish-of-the-day was actually the Chay’s Chicken Curry which was also made by Nick’s father! Apparently his pride and joy, the curry which was not so often made is tantalisingly delicious, and what’s more, it wasn’t made with santan so that those who face obesity issues or suffers from IBS will get to taste it! Unfortunately I couldn’t tell what he substituted it for, until I was told by Auntie that Uncle used evaporated milk and it all suddenly made sense

I think this was the Fried Prawns in Salted Egg Yolk, because that was how I remembered the dish. Needless to say every bite was crisp and done in all tastefulness, leaving you no other desire than to want more of it.

Of course the Golden Roasted Duck is a must, giving a variety of dishes to choose from. Nick’s parents really did so much for the bunch of us!

Finally came the Sesame Glutinous Rice, which came with a somewhat heavy aroma of sesame seed oil which I adore. Though admittedly it was a little hard, no thanks to taking them out of the steamer far too early so that the moisture dried up, we still had it because it went so very well with the curry. What a perfect combination!

Andrew was already there when Huai Bin and I arrived, so the first batch who had the scrumptious meal was the 3 of us plus Nick’s friend and mom! Auntie didn’t even allow us to be shy, telling us that there’s many more where it came from. How could we resist? Thumbs up from all to Auntie and Uncle Chay!

I repeat: H-o-w c-o-u-l-d w-e r-e-s-i-s-t!

Oh before I forget, there was this huuuuuuuge portion of Heavenly Fried Mee Hoon right smack in the middle of the table. How la, my diet routine has been destroyed forever!

I was so shy, my first session consisted of the following few dishes on my plate. I think my “shyness” left me when I found out Auntie had many more food at the back of the kitchen

And of course, how could I not bring Shitzoe to happy events like these? Say Hi to Shitzoe everyone!

After having our lunch of the century (I’m not exaggerating, I think the food could have lasted us THAT long lol) the bunch of us started playing cards, while the second batch of guests came, including KY, Cheesie, Suanie, Mellissa, Tzia, Yee Hou, Deb Fong (here’s her version!) and my darling Firdy.

All in all we had a blast of a gambling session with constant flow of drinks thanks to the Chay family, and eventually left in groups. Thank you Nicholas Chay, my ever loving shirt tuck-out, not-so-hamsap hensem guy who I admire a lot and one of the better badminton players I’ve met, for inviting me to your little party

Anyway Firdy and I were the last to leave and with that, it marked another end of the Chinese New Year of 2009

Happy chinese new year to all who celebrate

it, and a very good holidays to those who don’t!
 

To those who are even smarter and took

day offs on the 28th, 29th and 30th have a reason to celebrate with me for having a total of ELEVEN (11) days holiday! That’s the longest holiday for a non-out-station-trip event I’ve ever had since I started working on the 10th of March 2008, which is the very same day our market suffered a meltdown after the General Erections. Time has flown so much since and as everyday approaches, new journeys are built while old ones end to bring us an excitement that has never been thought possible at all. This, my friends, is a toast to a great start filled with luck, joy, prosperity and attractions!

Mugshot plug-of-the-day. Do you spot something here?
