13 February 2010 - Chinese New Year Reunion

This day was Chinese New Year Eve. It was the most happening and fun day for the whole Chinese New Year. Early on this morning, mummy followed Poh Poh to market for the final grocessary shopping as most stores would be closed on the Chinese New Year eve until 3rd day of Chinese New Year. So we had to buy more foods to keep for these few days.

On this morning, Chee Chee and daddy also woke up early and after bath, they came to Poh Poh's house for breakfast. Chee Chee also helped Poh Poh to decorate some fruits for praying ceremony. After breakfast at Poh Poh's house, we went back home before lunch time. We would had our reunion lunch at home. Grand God Mum (Ah Ji) had prepared a lot of dishes on this day. Grand God Mum and her sister actually started the preparation since morning 3am until the next day lunch time.

There were many dishes served on this reunion lunch. All the dishes were very yummmy and there were many choices. It was Grace's first time joining the reunion lunch. All of us had a great time together.

 

After lunch, we had our afternoon nap at home. In the evening, we woke up and got ourselves ready for the reunion dinner at Poh Poh's house. This year, we had our reunion dinner at Poh Poh's house. Poh Poh had prepared a very delicious steamboat on this night. It was the greatest reunion dinner.

 

After dinner, we also had some precious moment at the tea area. Jiu Jiu took out some fireworks. Chee Chee and Grace were very excited to play and look at the fireworks. It was real fun and the Chinese New year atmosphere was really great. The neighbourhood also came out and lighted up all the decorations.

 

After having a great moment, at around 10pm, we started the praying ceremony. As every year tranditional trend, we followed Gong Gong, Poh Poh, Yi Yi and Jiu Jiu for the temples visit. We went to several temples and started the praying from one temple to another temple. After rounding the town and visited several temples, we reached home at 12mid nite sharp and prayed at home. We also wished Grandpa and Grandma Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Chai!!!

Daddy and Mummy also gave Chee Chee a big ang pao on this night and hope that Chee Chee is growing up healthy and happy!!!

7 February 2010 - Sunday

It was a sunny Sunday morning, as usual, all of us woke up early for the music class. After the music class, we decided to have our breakfast at daddy's favourite restaurant, Nandos at Gurney Plaza. 3 of us had a great time eating and had fun together. It was a great morning.

After breakfast, we had some window shopping at Gurney Plaza and we went back home for a rest. On this night, as it was raining, therefore, we decided to have our dinner at a seafood restaurant at Gurney Drive. It is new seafood restaurant at Gurney Drive but the business was not so good. As Chinese New Year was around the corner, therefore, we had "Yu San" on this night during dinner.
