Gong Xi Fa Cai! We wish all of you a prosperous new year!
Before CNY, mummy had already taught me how to Gong Xi Gong Xi and also said thank you when receiving red packets from elders:) Fyi, Qiqi can Gong Xi Gong Xi too when prompted. Basically for the first 3 days, we were busy with travelling around to pai nian.
For day 1, we went to my 太公&外太婆’s house for pai nian.
I was very friendly throughout the day cause I can interact well with everyone. I was like a 开新果to all! One of my uncle even asked me to pick up four lucky numbers for them but too bad, the luck isn’t there.. During the night, my cousin, Ziv and his family came to our house to pai nian and I was so shy and refused to play with him. It was a happy day for me because I received many red packets and also ate many CNY goodies :)
For day 2, we went to my 姨婆，another外太婆 (fyi, I have two 外太婆) and my 老姑婆’s house.
姨婆 prepared a sumptuous lunch for all of us but too bad, I wasn’t interested at all. Luckily mummy fed me some noodle soup before we headed to pai nian. Both me and Qiqi enjoyed playing with the hamster at 姨婆’s house and I even hold and kiss the hamster! As for Qiqi, she is willing to hold the hamster for merely two seconds before dropping the hamster and luckily mummy is quick enough to save the hamster!
As for day 3, mummy woke us earlier cause we are going to爷爷&婆婆’s house to pai nian! I was so happy and looking forward to play with all my cousins before the day. We left home at 8.45am and reached there around 11am and we have early lunch cause we will be heading to pai nian with all my cousins after that. Guess how many houses we visited in day 3? It was 10 houses, amazing right? We also need 3 MPVs to accomondate all of us:) Although we are super tired, but we are happy cause we received LOADS of red packets :)
On the evening on day 3, we have another re-union dinner (mummy’s family). According to mummy, they had steamboat for re-union dinner on the third day of CNY every year without changes. As for this year, in addition of steamboat, we also had bbq food such as slice pork, sotong etc which was specially grilled by 四姨丈&四姨。
On day 4, 舅舅invited his employees to 婆婆’s house for buffet dinner. It was another yearly event during CNY. Same as last year, we had a satay man specially grilled the satay and served to us while it was hot!
While the adults were busy with eating, I play mahjong with my cousins. Look at my face, do I look serious in gambling? As for this year, mummy had more free time to play mahjong as compared to last year where she needs to constantly express her breast milk for Qiqi.
These are the photos taken by mummy and she was quite pleased with the results. Looks like sooner or later mummy can become a pro photographer! lol
Some shots of both of us :)
We stayed at 婆婆’s house from 年初三till 年初八 and I missed my classes for 3 days. I even told mummy that long time I didn’t go to school! We were supposed to come back to S’pore in the morning of 初八 cause we were invited to Thaddeus 1st birthday party in the afternoon but due to over slept, thus we can’t make it on time. Sorry Thaddeus, mummy will pass u the red packet soon :)
Fyi, I lack of sleep badly during the CNY. Averagely I only sleep at around 1am everyday cause no one sleep earlier than me beside Qiqi! Luckily it was only for a few days and now my bedtime was back to usual.
We were invited to Aunty Sharon's house on the 2nd last day of CNY for a mini gathering.
