Last Lunar Luau

On the first Friday of February, YB Teresa Kok threw a big Lunar Chinese New Year party for her Seputeh Constituents at the Taman Desa community center. Once again, mum's association was invited to provide traditional snacks for the public. Mum was the person in charge for preparing tang yuan and ginger soup. Hard work started days before the event. And on that day, we had to lug pots, stoves, ingredients, and clean water to the event space. Other than our tang yuan, there were other stalls preparing satay, apam balik, cendol, rojak, curry noodles, and halal siew mai. That was just the snacks, dinner was a buffet line provided by Restoran Talipon. 

While mum and her crew were busy preparing and cooking, I went gallivanting and taking photos. Since they were so busy, I brought the food to them, so that they didn't need to step away from the stall. Many people started turning up at 7 PM, and that was also when the performances started, song, and dance, and wushu. YB Teresa Kok arrived later in the evening to officiate the acrobatic lion dance, and hand out red packets. In the end, there was a fireworks display. 

Think this was the last major community event by YB Teresa Kok as the Minister of Primary Industries. No more "Sayangi Sawitku".
