每年一旦农历年将近的时後，妈妈总是会很烦恼，抱怨不懂要买什么？那天打电话回家，妈妈的话题也一样：“我今天出去菜摊，那些女人争着买年菜，我真的不懂买什么好，就空手回来了？”但是妈妈很伟大神奇的，最后一分钟她就可以变出很多patern patern的菜肴迎接回来团圆的家人。我想在着靠年的这一个星期，大家应该也很忙的赶搬年货。很多朋友也会投诉说不懂要怎样扮年货，简单就好，但是到头来大家看你买我也买的心态也总是难免的啦！
我在这里反而清闲得多了。爱美的我如果在家乡，一定会做足准备工夫不停的买过年衣，去洗脸，把头发还个新形像等等的。但是想起来这也好像是很久以前的事了。那天还打电话问妹妹要穿什么过年huh？她说，穿jeans，tshirt短裤就好了。都老了那里还有人看我们？哈哈，说得也对啦，于是我就丢了一堆的tshirt和短裤进去我的行李箱，就这样吧！
有一样东西我是很坚持的，过年一定要吃黄梨糕才像。 每年不管身在那里，有没有家人和我一起过年我都要吃这个糕点。就算不是自己做，去华人店买来吃过瘾也爽 。过年嘛，吃个有象征性的糕点是必要的。 在Azlita的blog里看到这个可爱的花型黄梨糕，决定做一些回家孝敬爸妈。
