2013 - The Year of Snake

Gong xi fa cai everyone!

 

WOAH!!! This year's CNY is like super hectic for us - Fully packed schedule, practically rushing from house to house to distribute angbaos since now we have 2 sides of the families to visit. I swear we even forgot to put on shoes for Elliot at one time! Kinda missed those days when I can just kiao kar on people's sofa, watch CNY shows on TV and eat their CNY goodies. WAHAHHAA!!!

 

Anyways, not much pictures taken with my relatives and cousins (SOBS!) I really hope to have the family picture kind but we were often the first few to leave cuz we need to get to the next house before the day ends. Don't even have ANY picture with my cousins on my mother's side lor! SAD x 1000.

 

 

 

Early reunion dinner @ inlaws place.

My MIL was busy arranging the food for the 盆菜

 

Layers and layers of haoliao stacked up.

Roast duck, roast pork, prawns etc...

 

 

Topped with generous servings of abalones and scallops.

 SLURP!

 

 

 

It's my first time eating a 盆菜 and I'm in love already.

 

Elliot's first angbao of the year!

 

After church service.

 

With YC!

Seriously haven't been seeing her for a long time since we go to different services now.

Oh yah, we finally derived to this sitting position after a few pictures because I look like a GIANT next to this petite girl! SO UNFAIR!!

Then we had lunch at Hong Kong café before heading to GW's grandmother's place.

Dasao's making him laugh so hard!

Hello, it's the year of Snake. Not mouse!

 

 

I totally adore this happy picture of him!

 

 

At my grandma's place!

 

 

Gosh!!! I'm having a bad hair day but didn't know I can look so good just by arranging my hair.

Yes yes, please kill me now.

 

A quick picture with my pretty cousins who were there, before we rushed to the next house.

 

So sad we didn't have our "THIRTEEN STRONG" picture!!!

 

And the males

 

 

This was on the second day of CNY. Went over to my mum's place for lunch before we go ah ma house together. Grabbed my sister for a picture before she leaves for BF's house to bai nian. And can you believe it, this was the only picture for that day!!! We left ah ma's house early and rushed back home because we are expecting guests :)

 

GW's relatives came over to our place for dinner on the second day.

All thanks to my MIl who came over to help prepare the food, if not I DIE arh I tell you!!!! 

 

Arranging the louhei with my MIL. YAY!

 

This was before it got destroyed.

So pretty!

 

Huat lah huat lah!!!

Seriously donno how we managed to fit in 30+ people in our apartment.

 

Find the abalone, find the abalone!!!!

 

My dad cooked dinner on the 3rd day.

GW was amazed that my dad could cook serious food.

Serious meaning like not just fried egg or Maggie mee kind but REAL FOOD.

 

 

My mummy and Elliot.

 

Elliot and his dayi.

And that's all our Happy CNY photos for the first three days!
