Lunar New Year Gathering at Winnie's Place

Winnie invited us to her place for a Lunar New Year Gathering 2 weeks ago. When we arrived, Winnie showed us her collection of jewelery which she had made herself! They were all intricately done and we were amazed by her handiwork!

Design and made by Winnie

We all made ourselves at home as we sat down to talk while waiting for the rest to come. Winnie had many New Year goodies and we couldn't resist helping ourselves the snacks!

Once everyone arrived, we started with the "Lo Hei" aka "Yusheng"! Also known as the Prosperity Toss in english, it is a Cantonese style raw fish salad comprising of shredded vegetables, raw fish (usually Salmon), pomelo, pickled ginger, crackers, and a variety of condiments. The Chinese believe that having this dish is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.

After eating the "Yusheng", we had Cedele for lunch! Winnie had generously ordered a variety of sandwiches and pastries for us! She also made ice jelly for dessert!

We all had a great time and enjoyed the fellowship together. Thank you Winnie for hosting us and we look forward to our next Teddy Bear group gathering!

Hugs,

Wayne

CNY Gathering with the Singapore Teddy Bear Lovers! 28 February 2015

Last month, we had a wonderful gathering with the Singapore Teddy Bear Lovers.

The event started at 3.30pm. As usual, we had a pot luck session and everyone bought along food to share. With the festive music on the background, everyone enthusiastically helped to display the variety of food and started taking pictures away! We had Mee Hoon, Chicken Wings, Chicken Pie, Pork Ribs, Peng Cai, Jelly, Spring Rolls and Salad! We also had Yu Sheng after having our lunch! There's always too much food for all of us!

Without hestitation, everyone took out their handmade bears and displayed them on the table and we had a group photo taken together!

This time, we had a very special gift for all! It was a bear specially created by our Russian bear artist friend, Anna Filatova! It's a pity that that Anna and her husband couldn't join us for this event as they no longer reside in Singapore. Nevertheless, we want to thank her for sending us a special bear and some chocolates from Russia.

Without further ado, we conducted the lucky draw to see who will be the lucky person to take the bear home. Evelyn drew the lucky winner ~ It was Paula the lucky star of the day!!!

Overall, it was a wonderful lunch together with all our friends namely - Evelyn, Esther, Marcia, Paula, Ivy, Suling, Chio, Val and Philip! We are looking forward to the next gathering in April!!!

Yang Er the Little Goat

In celebration of the Year of the Goat, we have created a new design - Yang Er the Little Goat!

Yang Er is just 6.5 inches tall, made from a combination of white and beige mohair. His horns are made from leather with wire armatures; you can bend the horns to the desired shape.
