chinese new year eve 2010

just finished my reunion dinner...
:)
and took pictures too..took pictures of my house decorations
& the food for reunion.

later will be having yu sheng..
and my whole family do not know what to say when preparing it.
so i googled up on 'what to say during yu sheng?'
and i found this:

Step 1 - When dish is placed on the table. Say "Gong Xi Fa Cai", "Wan Shi Ru Yi" 
(Congratulation and may you be propersous)

Step 2 - While squeezing the lemon over the fish. Say "Da Ji Da Li" 
(Wishing you Good luck and blessings)

Step 3 - Place the fish over the shredded carrots and radish. Say "Nian Nian You Yu" 
(Wish you abundance in wealth every year)

Step 4 - While sprinkling Pepper over the dish. Say "Hong Yun Dang Tou" 
(May you have good luck at your doorstep)

Step 5 - While sprinkling Cinnamon Powder. Say "Qing Chun Chang Zu" 
(May you be young forever)

Step 6 - While pouring the Peanut Oil. Say "Rong Hua Fu Gui" 
(May you enjoy prosperity)

Step 7 - While pouring Plum Sauce. Say "Tian Tian Mi Mi" 
(May sweetness enters your life)

Step 8 - While pouring the crackers. Say "Man Di Huang Jin" 
(May gold falls at our feet)

Final Step - While tossing the Yu Sheng. Say "Yue Lao Yue Qi, Lao Dao Feng Shen Shui Qi" 
(Toss higher and higher till the wind and the oceans rise up for a good year ahead)
