CNY Day 6: CNY Cultural Heritage Celebration

girls's sleepover

2nd day of CNY: We woke up early on the 2nd day and got ourselves ready for PSY performance at the CNY Open House @ Han Chiang School. It was Emeryn, the eager one who desperately wanted to watch the infamous Oppa Gangnam Style. We left home at about 10.15am and surprisingly the road was very smooth. There was lil' jam and slightly better than the peak hours. We parked at Jalan P Ramlee along the housing area and waited for Toki Ee Ee and mummy's aunty who came on motorbike. We then marched together to the Han Chiang school compound, all readied with our Yellow (Bersih) attires match with mummy's company umbrella in yellow too. We walked into the hustle bustle field with crowded crowd. Slowly we made our way nearer and nearer to the stage. We finally settled at the right side of the stage and stay put there until Psy appeared. We were all happily sun-bathing under the fierce sun while "enjoying" the not-so-fun speeches. The highlight of the event was Psy, Psy and Psy. It was a good experience to witness. The crowd dispersed right after the performance by Psy at about 12.30pm and we made our way to the car by foot. Emeryn fell down while walking and as expected she cried like mad. That's my "fragile" princess. We dropped by at the hawker stall and bought some food home to fill our empty stomach. After a short rest at home, we headed over to Por Por's house for our CNY steamboat. It was fun having everyone surrounding the two hot pots and "fighting" over food. Later we decided to go for a family heritage photo shooting at Georgetown Heritage site. It was the first time having a huge family members to join us for some crazy activities. We posed like mad but nevertheless we had fun laughing at each other. Our last destination was at the Chew Jetty but unfortunately we were unable to snap any nice photo since the skies are falling on us. We then headed to New Lane for dinner before going home.

3rd day of CNY: We started our day much later. At about noon, we got ourselves ready as mummy is meeting her primary school mate for a gathering at egate. Before the gathering we join the rest of the family members for lunch at Esplanade. We had the infamous mee goreng and coconut shake. Mummy left Emeryn with Por Por and she proceeded with her gathering. They went for a temple visit. At about 5.30pm, we gathered at Chew Jetty again to continue with what we failed to accomplish a day before. The weather wasn't very kind to us either. It was raining cats and dogs and we spent about an hour trying to shed from the rain. Before the skies getting darker, we went out to the rain and snapped some photo. We had so much fun again despite the rain. We then had our dinner at the hawker stand in front of Chew Jetty before heading home.

4th day of CNY: Mummy started work on the 4th day and Emeryn spent her day with Ah Ma at Pekaka. At about 5.45pm mummy picked Emeryn from Pekaka and we went home a quick shower before going out. We had our dinner at Chulia Street savoring the infamous wan than mee and curry mee before we headed over to our 3rd movie, Journey to the West.

5th day of CNY: Mummy sent Emeryn to Pekaka before going to office. During lunch, mummy went to Pekaka and picked Emeryn out for lunch. We went to Mc Donalds and then mummy dropped her at a relative's place before Ah Ma picked her again back to Pekaka. Mummy went home for a quick shower after work before she picked Emeryn from Beena Kor Kor's home. We went for the so-called famous Bahtera Santai ikan bakar near Queensbay. It was our first time there but it wasn't as delicious as recommended by most Penangites. After our dinner, we went to QBM for a walk and hang out at Station One later on. We left at about 11pm  and the rest proceeded on.

6th day of CNY: Art Class is still off last week and we went out for brunch with mummy's friend. After our brunch, Emeryn came home for a shower before tagging along with Toki Ee Ee and Uncle Lin Chun for their facial appointment. Emeryn wanted to meet Tutu, the doggie at the salon but unfortunately Tutu wasn't there. At about 5.30pm we went downtown for the CNY Cultural Heritage Celebration, organized by the Penang State Govenment along the Armenian Street. Before the heritage tour, we hopped over to Cozy in the Rocket for a drinks but we were ultimately disappointed with the service rendered. We left without ordering and proceeded with the festival. It showcased the rich culture of the various clans in George Town and other activities including lion dance, handicraft demonstrations, calligraphy and Chinese martial arts. Due to the traffic congestion, we parked about 15mins far away from the actual scene. It was an eye-opener for all of us to learn the Chinese Cultural and it has the truly Chinese feel. We ended our day with a late dinner together before heading home.

7th day of CNY: It was Sun, a day before we crawl back to reality and continue with our daily routines. We spent our lazy Sun at home until evening. We went out for dinner at about 7pm before Toki Ee Ee and Uncle Lin Chun left for Singapore. That night Florence stayed over night at our place as aunty Mei needs to stay late for the mid-nite prayers. It was the girl's first sleepover. They started playing as soon as they met from 9.30pm to 10.30pm. They even refused to sleep after having their milk. Mummy has to show them the cane before they finally listened. Both lil' cheeky had long conversation before we fall asleep.

Update from FB: When I woke up at 10am, lil' cheeky was at the living room doing her revision. That was a fantastic sight coz I did not ask for it. I'm loving her pro-activeness :)
