During Lunar New Year, besides having the opportunity to meet up with friends and relatives... And who can forget the collection of Ang Baos...There is always a reason to feast and gorge on food... Tons of food coz for the Chinese, having excess leftover food is a sign of plentiful year...
Ye Ye and Nai Nai prepared tons of food for our reunion dinner at their home... And by the time we were stuffed up to our throats, there were still plenty of food on the table... This must really be a plentiful Cow Year!!!
It is a tradition that we have our 年初一 lunch at Ah Kheng Gim Ma's place... And this year is no exception... Especially since Gim Ma's cooking is really delicious...
This year, besides the traditional fare such as the "Heng Hua" noodles aka New Year noodles, shark's fin soup, braised duck etc, Gim Ma also cooked a white promfet with some homemade dried prawn and sambal paste... And it was so delicious that between Daddy and Uncle Dennis, they finished almost 80% of the fish!!!
See the mess created by us after such a short while? ;p
Another "tradtional" activity is for the kids to water Gim Ma's plants after lunch
Today was such a packed day for me... Early in the morning, I went to the airport to send Por Por and Ah Gong off... They are going on a 5 days 4 nights trip to Vietnam for LNY... And I am already starting to miss them... :(

Straight after that, Mummy and Daddy brought me to Chinatown and Kovan to do some last minute LNY shopping... Daddy even bought a nice pot of orange ball ball flowers for me!!! :)

And to round off the day, we met up with Ye Ye and Nai Nai for our reunion dinner at Changi Meridian Hotel... Where I provided entertainment for the Adults with my captivating dance after dinner!!!
Daddy flew back on Friday for Lunar 牛Year Celebrations... And since Por Por and Ah Gong will be flying off to Vietnam for a short holiday on Sunday, we decided to have our reunion dinner today...

It has been ages since I've updated my blog... Firstly, I was having too much fun when Daddy came back from Doha during the Christmas and New Year period...
Then the Internet connection died for almost 2 weeks...
And when the Internet was finally up, Mummy was too tired to update my blog as my baby sister in Mummy's tummy is super active during the night times... So on some days, Mummy only gets about 4 hours of sleep...
