HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Hey!

So its the first day of the Lunar New Year and after hitting the snooze button about 3 times I decided it was time to roll out of bed and get ready.

I put on a nice bright red dress Alister bought for me from Tassie (LOVE IT!!), dolled up and we went for breakfast at a coffee shop nearby.



Uncle Soo Hay's house was our first destination of the day. Most of my extended relatives (Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nephews) were there already. Munching on all the CNY goodies!!

We then whipped out our respective cameras and the camwhoring commenced! Of course, after dutifully wishing everyone a very Keong Hee! (Gong Xi/Happy New Year) and heh...collecting our angpau.



This is the one day we all felt like supermodels...(mind u, i didn't say "LOOK LIKE" okay). Cameras flashing from all angles...amateur photographers going "Look here" and "my turn" hehe!!

The young ladies + boy

The Ladies

The next victim, whoops..i mean relative's house was our Grandaunt's place (Gu kor poh). Now, if there ever was a person who's personality was bigger than the person..it would be my Gu Kor poh. She's TOINY!! (about half my size) but extremely lively, jovial and robust! She must be about mid-80 and can still remember ALL our names (grand nephew and nieces). Not bad huh?

Oh, more snappy happy picture taking at her cute mini water feature garden (compulsary).



There's where my camera accidentally fell down and well...looks like thats the end of my trusty (free) Kodak digital camera (the er..."gear" is dislocated, so it needs to be sent for repair, or i might just get a new one, depending on how much the repair would cost me)

The last snap before my camera dieded

The last house we went to was our Or Cheem's house at Batu Ferringhi. There's where we properly sat down and munched on the goodies (kuih kapit with chicken floss filling, mini springrolls, almond cookies)...there was even Roti Jala (i didn't have any, coz my tummy was a bit dodgy when i woke up)




We adjourned home around noon. I haven't even open a single angpau yet....its not that important to me now. I tried to take a nap..didn't happen. So here I am now...blogging...uploading pics...

with my bros, David and Gary

OH, it wasn't too hot today! Thank goodness.

with my babies!
