2011 Chinese New Year (辛卯) - Get Together

CNY also a good time for people to get together.
Most of the relatives, friends, family members back to hometown for the re-union.
This is also the time mommy met up with some old friends.

This year, we managed to met up with Auntie Jestina. The last time I met her was Mar 2009.
At that time, 弟弟 was not born yet. Therefore, this is the 1st time 弟弟 meet her.
Auntie Jestina bought me a soft toy -- A Teddy Bear. Thank you so much.




During the met up, I played with Xin Yi jie jie and 弟弟 also 1st time meet Xin Ming 弟弟.




We also had a dinner together with 舅公 & 姨婆.
This dinner is to celebrate 五姨婆 birhtday. She is 60-year-old this year.
舅公 reserved a table at Federal Restaurant (forgot the correct name, previously was Federal cinema) but mommy complaint that the service is so poor.
The restaurant got lots of mosquitoes. See, they put a mosquito repellent under the dinning table. We heard the table next to us also complaint about mosquito and the waitress suggested to use the repellent.
However, when we request to light up the mosquito repellent, we have to wait for long time. They were busy with others stuff and looks like forgot about our request.

One of the mosquito dropped on our dish and 舅公 feedback to the waiter. However, he just keep quite and take away that dish. After that mommy heard that guy talked to his colleague about 舅公 complaint and laugh, they thought that we were funny as we complaint about mosquito.
See, this is another mosquito dropped into 舅母cup of drinks.



Part of the dishes we had.

The food is not bad, but with this kind of services, we will not revisit this restaurant.

2011 Chinese New Year (辛卯) - Visiting Relatives

What we did during CNY?
Visiting relatives!

From one to another, from here to there. Just busy went to relative's house. But this year, we just went for few relatives only.
We were ready with new clothes...waiting for papa, then we will start our journey.
As previous year, we visit to paternal relatives which we need to go to Parit Buntar on the 1st day.
However this year, a bit different. We visit to one of mommy's relatives first before we headed to Parit Buntar.


There is a puppy in the house! 弟弟 likes the puppy very much.
He can goes very close to the puppy, I think he never see this kind of puppy before. He is so curious on it.


After that, we went to Parit Buntar.
弟弟 & I having fun over there. I played with 叔叔 & 婶婶, while 弟弟 enjoyed walking here and there.




On the 2nd day, we visit to 大姑婆 house. Almost all of maternal relatives were there.
A big group...


We took photo with great-grandmother



Playing some games together with 姑婆. I managed to unlock the ring. What a surprise!

2011 Chinese New Year (辛卯) - Kek Lok Si Temple


As usual, we will visit to Kek Lok Si temple during CNY.
During CNY, the whole temple is lighten and it's really spectacular.


In fact, this year we went there twice. First on the CNY eve, after the reunion dinner, it's still early and papa suggest we went there since the traffic is not that heavy yet. Normally, heavy traffic jam happened on that area during CNY.
Our second trip was on 4th day of CNY. Don't know why, papa tried not to go to downtown to avoid traffic jammed, and end up we went to Kek Lok Si temple again. But this time, we went up to the 观音area.

Chinese New Year Theme

2 more days is Chinese New Year.
Today we all wear Chinese New Year's costume to school as part of the theme. All the teachers wear red color shirt also.
I wore this Cheong Sum which mommy bought a year ago. Oops...I don't like to wear it as the collar makes me feel uncomfortable. Finally I got chance to try it.



Teacher also helped us to do some craft for Chinese New Year decoration.
See the 'fire cracker' I hold? I cut the red packet and teacher helped to glue it as a cylinder.
When all put together, it's like a fire cracker.
