After the buzz of the CNY celebrations in school, the long awaited CNY holidays came. As usual, before the new year started, my sis and I began decorating our home for the festival. There was some sort of a mini decorating competition amongst all the aunts. (they will all be excited to see who decorated the house best, who has the nicest / cheapest decorations etc, haha~) This year we decided to go for the "娃娃” theme. Look at the pictures and you will know what I mean. We even hand-made some of the lantarns at home.
New year would mean new clothes. This year luckily I started shopping early with my aunts, so I do have some new clothes to wear.... Bought a nice yellow top this year. Totally loved it.. dun care if ppl say I look like Tweety Bird.. haha! Decided to go retro for this set. Then there was this red top... decided to go simple for this one, just match with a pair of old grey jeans... Look at how 自恋 my family is, posing at home for photos hahah!
On New Yeat's eve, we had steamboat at my house. We called the Loh family and the Chiang family to join us this year. There were really a lot of food.... alot of Balls....soooo filling!
This year, as usual, for the 1st day we all gathered at Uncle Mia Yong's house to visit Ah Ma. Then we proceeded to Uncle Mia Kuang house for gambling. For the 2nd day, we visited Dad's family then at night we gathered at Aunt Kim's house for dinner. Uncle Ellil made roasted duck and I must say it tasted GREAT! Stayed up till 3 am for mahjiong session that night (haha... it's the first time playing with money... thou slow but it was pretty interesting) 3rd day was at home for the whole day as Dad's relatives came over for dinner... so of course being the host, we had to be at home preparing the food. 4th day we went over to Aunt Karen's home then Aunt Lili's house for new year goodies and gambling. Din really gamble this year but I guess it's alright. You have to really feel lucky "旺旺" to gamble.
Had taken many many photos... They are all great memories... Just happy and comforted to see all my relatives happy and healthy. Wishing all a Prosperous New Year, may it be a year of Wealth, Health and Bliss for all! 祝家人和朋友，鼠年行大运，身体健康，年年有余！恭喜！恭喜! HUAT AH!
