weekend snapshot – 11

Posted On: Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at 3:00 pm


Join us for fun at:Weekend Snapshot

It’s Chinese New Year Holiday and it’s time to visit friends. My girl, visiting her Chinese friend. Mandarin orange – only available on Chinese New Year season. In Chinese culture, it is considered luck to give Honey Mandarin Orange especially on CNY holidays.
Have you ever heard/tried papaya wine? I had a taste of it when we visited my future sis-in-law for CNY. It was very sweet. I couldn’t drink much because I’m still nursing my girl. But I had a taste of it. I don’t mind having it next time when I no longer nurse my girl.

And if you’re up to having authentic thai silk scarf, you might wanna try joining My Giveaway. Entries are accepted before 5th of March. I’m picking up two winners by draw.

    I think I’m going to like papaya wine. I’ll just have to make it a little less sweet.

    I’ve eaten more mandarin oranges than I should, and then I’ll get tummy ache. Hehe.

    I’ve posted mine here. Have a great week ahead :)

    The papaya wine seems interesting. Would it not have some digestion reaction like what the fresh fruit does? Baka madisgrasya, lol!

    Have a great week!
