Day 4 CNY

On CNY Eve, we went over to Por Por's house in the afternoon and had our meal there. It was supposed to be our mini reunion but all of us ate at different time under the same roof. We spent few hours of the afternoon at Por Por's house before going over to mummy's granny house for a bigger family reunion steamboat dinner. This kind of reunion is an usual family affair we had since many years ago at mummy's granny's house. Our initial plan was to have coffee with Sherine Ee Ee and her family at nite but eventually they couldn't make it, so we headed home after the steamboat.

The next morning we woke up to the First Day of CNY, slightly late as we don't have much to do. After getting ready, we drove to Por Por's house and had a quick lunch before meeting mummy's relative of Por Por's side. All of us gathered there at about 1.30pm for the ang pow giving session and our yearly family shooting. We then went back to Por Por's house to wait for Sherine Ee Ee & her family to join us. Mummy then received a surprise call  from her aunty from Ipoh, saying that they are reaching Penang in 30mins. They caught all of us in surprise as we are not expecting any guest. We went out to the mamak for an early dinner before we drove home and Sherine Ee Ee & her family went for a movie. Mummy's aunty and her two cousin brothers went to Por Por's house for a quick refreshment. All of us gathered together at Coffee Arabica at about 9pm. It was mummy's first time meeting her cousin brother after more than 12years not seeing him. He has just came back from working at UK. It was a great catch up session as most of us are there except Toki Ee Ee and her hubby. We ended the coffee session at 11pm+ and we drove home. The rest of mummy's cousins went for supper while waiting for Toki Ee Ee to reach Penang. She and Uncle Lin Chun took a train from Segamat to Butterworth. That nite onwards Toki Ee Ee and her hubby, mummy's aunty and cousin brothers from Ipoh stayed with us. Mummy had a chat with her cousins and Toki Ee Ee past mid nite when they reached.

The next morning Emeryn went for a swim with Toki Ee Ee and Uncle Lin Chun before we headed out to Than Siang Temple to offer prayers for mummy's grandparents. After the prayers, we had our lunch at Sunshine Market before dropping by at Giant to get some goodies for the old folks at Bethel Home. We went to Theng's Ee Ee new home as it was the official date of her moving in. After visiting her new home we drove to Bethel Home to visit the old folks, bringing ang pow and some goodies to be distributed. It was our second year visiting old folks home during CNY. Next we headed to Kuan Yin Temple for prayers and proceeded to have our meal at Esplanade. Later in the evening, we went to mummy's aunty's house warming cum CNY gathering at Balik Pulau. Mummy's relative from the Mah's side went along with us to the house warming of the Chongs. We finally reached home at about 10.30pm after a long day out.

Mummy started working on CNY Day 3 while Emeryn tagged along with Toki Ee Ee. After Ee Ee's meeting with her insurance agent, she brought Emeryn for a quick swim before going down town to run her errand. Later in the afternoon, the whole family went to Gurney Paragon for a walk and a drink before having dinner at Gurney Drive hawker stall. Mummy joined them after her work. After finishing our dinner, we walked to towards the sea and enjoyed the sea breeze. To end the evening, we headed to Kek Lok Si. It was too jam that mummy dropped Ah Kong & Por Por at Ee Ee's friends house and we headed home instead. All of them then proceeded to walk to Kek Lok Si instead.

Mummy took half day leave in the afternoon on CNY Day 4 and we had our family reunion lunch at May Garden. We then headed to QBM after our lunch for our movie date, Let's Eat. Before the movie starts, we went to the centre court to snap some family photo. Our family totally adore taking selfie, wefie and anything just to do with photo. After the movie, we had our supper at Super Tanker together before parted on our own way. Mummy's aunty and both cousin brothers from Ipoh left after the dinner. Toki Ee Ee and Uncle Lin Chun stayed with us for another nite before Ee Ee left for Bangkok with Ah Kong & Por Por.
