Happy Lunar New Year!

I know! I’m very very late.
but it’s still within the 15 days of Chinese New Year!
and further more.
today is everyone’s birthday! (:
so maybe it’s not too late. haha
(Excuses.. Sorry!)

Chinese New Year has always been about family gatherings and bondings
meeting up with friends and catching up with people we see once a year! haha
this year is no different!

the first day : visiting relatives !

but before setting off to anywhere
we took heaps of photos! haha

first the two people shots. haha
then the family shots!

all the cousins! (:(but missing Qirong. sad. next year!)

after the visiting
we come back and have dinner at my grandma’s place!
and boy was there alot of food.
mouth-watering food i must add!

PLUS "lou hei" hehe
and not forgetting the ban luck session!
which my ah ma looks forward to every year!

the second day : open house !

we open our home to friends and family
for lunch and catching up!
with heaps of food, wine and beer! haha

and because we jus renovated our place
Auntie Elsie wanted to play a game with my Dad
just for the fun of it

she bought a bottle of ice wine
and stuck 4 word phrases in chinese one it
and made my dad translate them to engish! haha
i think he was quite shy that day.

plus two money bags (for money of cos) and turtles for longevity!

this was followed by "lou hei" with everyone!
and we ordered a super HUGE one! haha

Val, Zhiquan and Lynn came too! (:

 

so here’s wishing everyone a very happy new year
and may this year of the ox be a blessed one for all of you!
Best of health and may love and happiness be of abundance to everyone!
