Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快乐! 恭喜发财! May fortune always be on your side so you’ll never fail to bring home the bacon (or bak kwa)…oink oink!

2019 began rather slowly for us here, with January being most uneventful, but pleased to say things are now starting to sizzle…sorry, couldn’t resist!

My first post of the year (not counting New Year’s Eve since that was before the countdown) also highlights the first of many things – new growth from the leaf of a succulent that left us for heavenly pastures last year, hopefully a good sign of what’s to come…

…hubby’s first smart phone (finally getting rid of his Sony-Ericsson fossil because 2G and 3G will soon be turned off), tasting an energy drink for the first time (more on that later), and my very first stop-motion video (with a bit of help)!

Admittedly, this is not my first Triyit box, since I have matched with a previous campaign, but in the spirit of new discoveries, I thought I’d have a bit of fun and try something different.

Follow me on Instagram for a review of all the healthy 100% natural snacks and beverages I received. In the meantime, here’s a little close-up of what’s to come. 🙂
