Its almost the end of CNY 2010. Time flies. Its almost the end of February as well. Come March is my birthday and also a month without any public holidays but no worries, I am so looking forward to March coz' Bangkok..Here I come!! Yipee!! Its time for some shopping spree and I've found some dear sponsors. *hiaks hiaks*. Putting aside my upcoming trip, CNY is 1 of my favourite festive season besides Christmas. Oh well, putting the Ang Pows aside (guess how much is my collection this year??) , I love CNY because I get to eat the 2 most favourite cookies-> Pineapple Tarts and the Mini Spring Rolls and of coz its also a time to catch up with my extended family (but then again, the cousins do meet up quite frequently). CNY 2010 is quite good this year because its a super long weekend + I also missed out on my ang pows collection last year due to my late ye-ye's death.
This year, I spent a quiet CNY eve. Decided to stay home instead of heading out and guess what..I ended up helping my parents dye their hair. :) On CNY day 1, we headed out quite late @ about 1130am. Yes, that's late, but we have the luxury of time coz on day 1, we only have 3 houses for visitation. As usual, our 2nd stop is my uncle's house and as usual, we are always the earliest. Waited for about 1/2 an hour before the rest arrived. After some of my cousins got married and have kids, it seems like all the attention during CNY goes to the babies. Unfortunately, this year, we only had 2 toddlers and 1 baby around while the rest of the toddlers are now residing in Hong Kong...So presenting Alayna who was the star @ my uncle's house.
The adults passing her around. No wonder this kind of expression
Everyone says she looks like my late grandma
On the 2nd day of CNY, got a last min invitation to J & J's house and subsequently the group went bowling @ Hougang. The reason why I didn't bowl that night.
Did this on the eve of CNY. This is just the feet. Don't ask me how much I spent.
Guess who is the 1st J & 2nd J? I was "made" to take this because it's once in a blue moon that the 1st J won the 2nd J in a bowling game
The reason why I love CNY
Before all the CNY holidays come to an end, with my UL, we went to my ex shepherd place to celebrate her bday for her. The candles tell you how young she is.
and she turns the Big 3...
