(Share the Joy)
Happy Chinese New Year to ALL! Time flies. In the blink of an eye, the tiger year is here.(ROAR`) Once again, marking the arrival of Chinese New Year! As we share this festive season with our love ones, it brings us joy, excitement and happiness:)
i'm here to blog about my first and second day of bai nian!
(This was my first day's attire to my relatives house)
First day of cny was a tiring one for me. As usual, on every 初一, my family would go visit my father side's relatives. We always have to travel from house to house. Thankful for this year, daddy drove us around to visit our relatives. We paid visits to 6 houses in a day. You can imagine how tiring it is! To make it worst, the weather was humid, making one uncomfortable.
i captured a snapshot of my brother while we were still at home...This was taken before we set off to our relatives' houses... The first house that we paid visit was somewhere near cck, very near sok's house and i was smsing her that day, joking with her i'm coming to pay her a visit! haha... Both my relatives live there, somemore it's together in the same block. Upstairs and downstairs. How convenient!
Though i have a lot of relatives over at my father's side, but we seem like *strangers*. Nothing much to talk about except wishing one another happy chinese new year and the elderlys a good health. i guess the reason is because we rarely visit them, only occasionally on chinese new year. Most of my cousins there are much older than me, and some have gotten married and even have kids. Sometimes, i ended up playing with their kids instead of catching up with them...i don't really know how to broach up a topic with them, unlike with my friends. (guess perhaps it's age gap problem) Hence, usually my 初一 is a boring one. i just sit there, with my goodies and phone as companions.
This year, our bai nian also commenced later. By then when we got back home, it was late and i was feeling really lethargic after the whole day of visitings. i just knocked out after that...
Second Day of CNY
Definitely, the second day of my bai nian is the BEST of them all:) Love it! i cliqued well with my cousins here. Though we have slightly younger cousins with us, but we hang along well with one another 'cause we grew up together as playmates since young.
This was captured when they were busy *gambling* away. They didn't realise it except for the one who is looking into my camera. i took a secret shot of them. (You guys are caught in my camera!) Not illegal gambling, alright! They're just having some fun during chinese new year. This year, i don't really have the mood to gamble. After one or two games, i quitted.
And my cousin, wei liang laughing away... (i like this candid angle shot!)
A mini video clip filmed by me while they were busy playing away...
For the first time today, i saw my cousin's boyfriend. she brought him to ah ma's house to pay a visit during chinese new year. They're getting married this coming june! Excited and looking forward to it 'cause this is my family's side here first cousin's marriage!
Why this snapshot of a car out of nowhere?!? i finally laid my hands on the steering wheel once again earlier. Borrowed it from my eldest cousin and drove it around the vicinity. lt was a good drive. Awesome hot red car!
And this was my outfit for 初二! My top is a newly bought shirt and i simply just matched it with another short pants from my wardrobe since i'm only going downstairs for bai nian, haha...My ah ma and ah gong just live directly downstairs. The reason why i like 初二 best is also partly due to this reason, convenience. i stayed there almost for the whole day. lt was a memorable chit chattie session and short *gambling* session with them earlier. Though i quitted like halfway... Spent most of the time watching them play while i captured the different snapshots in the house! lt was a lively atmosphere! My cousin was on a winning steak earlier and after she went off, my mum became the one during the night; it all depends on your luck!
Finally, we managed to have a cousins' photo together, along with our ah ma! Oh my Goodness, my cousins are tall. Can you guess where am i? one of the shortest in there. i guess one day, even my youngest cousin, yiling (the one dressed in pink) will outreach my height! She's ONLY primary four this year, imagine her having this height now...In the next few years down the road, i will become the shortest of them all...
we had kfc delivery for early dinner. For once, we forgotten what's the number to dial for kfc delivery! i texted my friend, sok and managed to get the number from her. Now i know it, it's 6222 6111. Easy to remember! Speaking of kfc, the delivery man sent us the wrong order just now. we're a bit pissed. In the end, jianrong called back and they returned us with 8 pineapple pies which they've forgotten. But in actual fact, they gave us additional 10 small pieces crispy drumlets. i love KFC popcorn chickens! Finger-Lickin' Good!
Wishing all a happy chinese new year and my family blessed with good health! Always happy, always loving as one. May this tiger year be a good one for all! Let's strive hard together in 2010!
