CNY Day 3

Mummy was working half day on CNY Eve and Emeryn spent her morning at home. We had our lunch at home before going over to Por Por's house later in the afternoon. While we were at Por Por's place, mummy's aunty from Ipoh arrived together with both of her sons. We spent time chit-chatting and catching up as we only meet each other once a year. Later in the evening we headed to mummy's granny's house for a reunion dinner while her cousins and aunty went to another relative's place. Before going on separate ways, mummy's cousin bro brought Emeryn to the field and they played fireworks. It was probably Emeryn's first time playing such "adults" fireworks. Later at night mummy and her cousins meet up at Love Lane for a drinks. We haven't been to downtown at night for quite a very long time ago and were very surprised to see the happening ambience there. It was just a short street and filled with small bars and cafes. We had our drinks there and leave at about 11.30pm.

The next morning, mummy's aunty and her family from KL arrived at our place at about 10am. After some quick refreshment all of us headed out for a meal. It was very tough for us to find a place to eat as most of the places were closed. We finally settled down at Sunshine Market food court and only Malay food are available. After having our meal, we dropped by at Than Siang Temple to offer prayers to mummy's grandparents before going home. It was a lazy CNY Day 1 for all of us. We don't go from house to house visiting but instead napping at home. Later in the afternoon we went over to Por Por's house. It is still very tough for us to find eateries, so we ended up having some really simple home cooked at Por Por's house.  Later we went for coffee at Easy Brew where Carmen Ee Ee and her family joined us. Not long after that, Theng Ee Ee and Ah Kong & Por Por joined us too. It was an almost complete family gathering except for Toki Ee Ee and Uncle Lin Chun who has yet to arrived. After the long gathering, we headed to Gurney Drive for some hawker delights before ending the night.

On CNY Day 2, we went over to mummy's grandma's home at downtown and managed to catch a glimpse of the lion dance before it ended. We stayed awhile for ang pow giving-receiving session and took family photo before leaving for our very own family reunion lunch. This year we had our lunch at CRC Restaurant. The service is very poor as the waiting time for each course of meal took us at least 15mins. We spent at least 3hours in the restaurant itself. We then drove to Botanical Garden for a planned family photo session. We are lucky as we have an in-house professional photographer in the family. All of us were drenched in sweat under the hot sun and decided to end the photography session early. We then headed back to our home for a rest before the rest of the family members join us at our home. Some of them went swimming, while some choose to stay indoor for some games. The games ended at about 11pm + and we went for late supper at Nasi Beratur.

We started our CNY Day 3 a lil' late as well. We had our brunch at the food court opposite jetty. After the brunch we had another family photography session at Chew Jetty. This session was much shorter compare to the earlier one. We had a lot of fun photographing each other albeit being soaked under the hot sun. After the family photo session, we dropped by at Por Por's house and we started a short game before we left for a meal nearby. After having the meal, we bid farewell to mummy's KL & Ipoh relatives. They are heading home right after. In the evening we went to Queensbay for a walk before having late dinner at the nasi kandar store.

We visited the old folks home on CNY Day 4, a yearly affair we practise in our family. Mummy went to Tesco to buy the necessities before meeting the rest at the old folks home. 

Work and school resumes on CNY Day 5.
