 Chinese New Year 2009

恭喜,恭喜!Wish everyone a prosperous & bountiful year ahead!
As usual, on the 1st day of CNY, we went to Mother/Father's house @ Jurong East... We left our house rather late this year... becoz' there was a huge smoke entering our house... from the dustbin... think there's a fire... causing my whole house so foggy... we still have to clean the floor before we leave coz' there's ashes everywhere!
But anyway, bcoz' its CNY! We didn't want anything to spoil our mood & so our plans followed... All aunties & uncles came to Mother's house for lunch... so many of them... & both Mother & Father are so busy preparing dishes... On top of the usual steamboat (plenty of good food already)... they still fry 水饺 & 五香! We had 海参鸭, pig trotters & curry too! Not forgetting the tapioca... they all loved it so much... when the dish is served, all the aunties couldn't wait to try that dish... Dear Dear also like this tapioca dish so much... been w/ him for so many years... been seeing this dish for so many years... but I haven't tried it before... don't know why... maybe it's bcoz' I have never tried tapioca before...
Afterwhich, we proceeded to Sengkang, my ma-ma's house... Sengkang very quiet this year coz' mum, dad & brothers are all in Hong Kong... so I stayed abit longer... CNY this year is as usual but the feeling is of some kind different... guess bcoz' they are all not around... so kinda missing something... That also explains why I hadn't had many photos this year! Had no time to take photos too... so busy in Jurong East then rush down to Sengkang then nobody in Sengkang... unlike previous years, Dylan can take photo w/ "Dua-gu & Kim-kim", "Sui-gu", & Grandma & Gong-gong... but this year =(
It was 5pm already when I reached Eunos... again so quiet... only met Veron Aunt & Granduncle family there... the rest has left... then proceeded to Jln Sultan another Granduncle's house w/ Popo & Priscillia... Last but not least, it is Ricky Uncle's house the last stop for the day! So finally remembered to take a photo...
Daddy w/ Dylan @ Ricky Uncle's house downstairs Happy Family (taken by Priscillia) I looked fat right?! Hehe =P of coz'! Bcoz' I'm pregnant... & how does Dylan look in his GAP outfit... both shirt & carpenter jeans from GAP... decided to patronise GAP this year instead of ZARA bcoz' they are having 50% discount for the 2nd piece!
2nd day was better... not so hectic... all we need to go is Jen & Doris Aunt's houses! Had plenty of time so could pose some photos before we step out of the house... Dylan is in his LifeBaby top w/ GAP jeans... Oops :p gotcha! Yeah... that's a jeans from last year CNY... bought by his 小姑姑 & 姑丈 for X'mas in 2007...

♥ Me, Myself & I ♥
…slave to KING Elvin, PRINCE Dylan & PRINCESS Dyllis
The girl's name Rachel \r(a)-chel is pronounced as RAY-chel. It is of Hebrew origin, & its meaning is "ewe, innocent lamb".
But after living in this realistic & political world, guess I could never be an innocent lamb anymore... protecting my loved ones at all cost & not conspiracing on others is my basis of life!
