First Day of CNY

Today is the first day of CNY and finally I can break the tradition of not having to eat vegetarian on the morning as breakfast. Every year I want to do so, I'll get some weird look from my mum. SO I was super happy today. I had bacons, sausage, and scramble eggs for breakfast. This is the first time in so many years that I can have western food during the first day of CNY. I had a late breakfast today, around 11am. Why so late? Its because suddenly my mum told me that there will be lion dance around 10am in the house.


The start of the show


Fighting for the cabbage


Finders', keepers' :P


But I want some :(


Ok, I'll share with U


Hye, not fair...altleast share please


Nooooo....






And chaos came, drinks in the freezer, angpaos needed to be readied for the lion dance crew, and furniture need to be moved so that the lions can get in the house. That is why I only managed to have my breakfast after 11am.

After that, my relatives came to visit. It's actually my grandma's relatives....the whole family came...making my house look small :( and there are not enough space to move or sit in the house. Outside is just too hot so no one will want to sit outside. Nevermind, it's just for a while....not for long...hehe.....they stayed for about an hour here. After they left, we're supposed to go for prayers at a temple, so off we go for prayers. We made it a quick one...hehe never had such a quick one before....then we went for lunch at McD's. Yes, prosperity burger....hahaha....During lunch, dad received a call from Malacca's relative. They said they are on their way to our place now. So we rush our lunch and went home. Just as we reach home, my sister's god-parents came and so we have to entertain them. But just that we are quite sleepy after lunch...so its such a bad-timing....after entertaining them for about half an hour, the Malacca relatives arrived. Omg...five cars and all are such big cars....so you can start imagining the amount of people that are coming in the house. The whole place had not enough place to sit. But they luckily their children all sits on the floor....and did I mention that this group of relative are Malays?! Yes..they are all Malays. Their mother converted to Malay...they stayed for about 2 hours....

After they left, I went to the Siamese temple with my neighbor. Its the first time I go in after so many years. It changed a lot. Came back and had a short rest before heading for dinner with the whole family again. Its because my sister and uncle are leaving tomorrow morning so we have to bring forward our 2nd reunion dinner to today. Had vegetarian food for dinner...and boy...I was full to the limit. Can't put in anymore.....need to go on diet.....MUST DIET!!!!!

Chat with my sisters and brother for a while before each of us were immersed in our own world....computer time....haha....

I'll try to upload the video of the lion dance next time...till then...chao :)
