I had a great time this year as my Dad and sis were down to celebrate the Rat year with us. We had both families joining the reunion dinner over at my place. I will upload the pics once sis transfered the pics into her laptop.
This year celebration was different from the previous as we have Zachary to join in the celebration with us! Also, we did a few visiting to relatives which I guess we had never visited them for CNY like donkey years! Glad that the relationship between our families are still growing and I'll try to pay them more visits!
Day 1, we visited my father in law to celebrate the 1st day of the Lunar New Year. Had lunch and Dad and sis went off to Mustapha for shopping. Later in the afternoon, we went to pray my mother in law and then to Waterloo Street for more praying :) However, this time is to bring Dad to pray the God of Duke as this year his chinese astrology sign offended him. There're 4 animals which offended the God of Duke this year which are Rat, Rabbit, Horse and Rooster. Prayed for brother too which I believe he don't even know I did it for him :p (he doesn't know all this). Since, it's the 1st Day of CNY all shops are closed. We went back early for a good rest and of course another round of steamboat (from previous day left overs) and Mahjong!
Day 2, we visited my bro's in laws place, Mh's godmom and my great grand aunt. We didnt move around from house to house as we suggested a meeting point at one of my uncles' house. I guess it's a good move as it saves everyone from shuttling here and there. By Day 2, my energy level dips as well as Zach. Again, all shops are closed and we had dinner at home. And yes, I can't believe it.... we had 3rd ROUND OF STEAMBOAT and mahjong again! hahaha....
Day 3, is recuperating day for us :) Just laze around and we had enough of steamboat! So we decided to explore the eataries in Bedok and quite a fair bit of shops has kick off their business. However, my favourite chwee kueh stall is still closed for the New Year. I'll do a post for this chwee kueh.
Day 4, we had lunch at Singapore Island Country Club with my aunts and uncles. It was a nice club and of course for the rich. To join as a member, you have to fork out around 6 digits of nos. Of course, we don't have such luxury to spend this amount hence we can just ride on! We had our lunch and this was our first lou hei! Here's a photo we took outside the entrance of the club...
