First of all, ColinJong.com would like to wish you Happy Chinese New Year & Gong Xi Fa Cai.

We have been very busy since a week before CNY. I have decorated the garden for the vihara few days before the CNY. It took me 3 or 4 evenings. Finally, I have “completed” it before CNY, it’s not really 100% complete, but there will be some upgrade in the near future.

We went to a night wet market to buy many boxes of Mandarin Orange in one of the late evening at about 11:30 pm. We saw these Capsicum there. We seldom eat capsicum, but their colours attracted us. So we bought it.

Since we are vegeterian, different colours in food is very important to make sure we have sufficient nutrients. I have read from a book that says, if we take at least 5 colours in our meal, and change them frequently, we as vegeterians can actually get enough all of the different vitamins and minerals. I will do some research on what vitamins and minerals that were provided by capsicum.

We have bought a bottle of Vegeterian Salad as well. We have been searching for it from so many places and finally we found it. It’s a good idea to make the Capsicum salad.

This is a colourful post in a Chinese Year. ColinJong.com Wish you again to have a colourful and wonderful year and may the year of Rat brings you prosperity, health and longevity.
