新年快乐everyone!!
Decided to blog out an entry, since its been so long.
I've waited 1 year for CNY, and finally its here!
CNY means all the redness, family, red packet and fooddd!!
CNY eve was great! All of us wore red, and all the grandkids wore our elmo shirt!
Had steamboat, cosy cosy~
First day of CNY was the same. Going to paternal side grandparents to 拜年, then to maternal side. But there's an extra activity this year.
All of us went to my uncle place. Its my grandfather sister son place.
And theres just sooo many of us! I think at least 14 families? And each family have so many people. it consisted of my grandfather brothers and sister family. So cool right. I think they will be so happy to know it.
The father and son was at the entrance to greet guests, while the daughters are inside. Like so traditional chinese right. Son will have to be the one to meet people and stuffs.
Then we went to another house, and i feel so happy and warmth feeling to see so many families and cars heading to the same place.
Then after that went back to grandparents place to play mahjong and spend the day there.
Oh. On the first day my sister and i wore traditional cheongsam, and while waiting for the lift, a stranger aunty compliement us! hoho! so happy!
I love the feeling of all of us being at the same place, talking and laughing.
Went to a super big house with lift in their house! 4 stories, 7 rooms, and its really awesome.
Listened to stories of the past..Heard inspiration stories too. Hope i'll rmb everything that happened.
So far, its been a great chinese new year. Especially since it started on Thursday, and theres Friday and Saturday to spend time tgt with everyone!
Got to wear new clothes, eat all the cny goodies(ba kwa, pineapple tarts, love letters, nuts, sugar gummy, sugee, cuttlefish, hei bi hiam etc) = happy!
Although now we have the ability and $$ to buy new clothes/shoes/bag as often as we want, but i still feel happy to wear new stuffs during cny!
And i dont know why, i got the mood to makeup during CNY, but im so lazy to do it during normal days. Plus i have to wake up early at 8 plus 9am on both day 1 and 2. Well, maybe because its the happy mood. :D
gong yi wa sai..
