Gong Xi! Gong Xi!

Lunar New Year (初二)

Every year as usual, we will go to my tai ma's hse (mum's side) on the second day of Lunar New Year to 拜年. After that, we will go straight to my 三叔公 house together for dinner & sing karaoke without fail. This has been going on & on for the past 5 to 6 years and I only started to join them this year cos I'm only 3.5 months old last year, and for sure I'm not able to bear the karaoke noise. But this year is so different for me cos I enjoy most of the songs they sing and play, I even dance happily by myself when they play the Michael Jackson songs.

As I'm the youngest over there, therefore everybody likes to carry me and take pictures with me. Out of some pictures that I have taken here with are 四婶婆 & An Ting 姐姐.

Lunar New Year (大年初一)

First day of Chinese New Year, we went to gong gong's house at around 11am plus to 拜年.

After that, we headed together to tai ma's house to 拜年 too.

Upon reaching there, we get to see most of our relatives (father's side) there and I get to receive quite alot of angbaos too. As you can see, I was actually wearing a purple dress when taking family picture, and that is what I am suppose to wear for my 1st birthday party. But it was somehow abit big & loose for me during then and at last its now just nice for me. After that, daddy ask mummy to change me to my 'tiger' outfit so that it's much more cooler & easier for me to move about. And now do meet me with some of my relatives. Hours later, we headed to grandma's house in the evening and too bad daddy & mummy have forgotten to take pictures cos they are all too busy playing mahjong.

新年快乐 & Happy Valentine's Day

Here's wishing everybody a Happy Lunar New Year

& Happy Valentine's Day!

Reunion Dinner

Finally, CNY eve is here and it's time to gather around for reunion dinner. These are the steamboat stuffs that are prepared by my ah ma & da gu and there's also braised pork with sea cucumber & deer's tendon and it's yummy. More pictures of me taken by da-gu.

Chinese New Year Goodies & Decos

As Chinese New Year is coming soon, daddy & mummy have bought some CNY decos to decorate the house.

And also not forgetting some CNY goodies too. But of cos daddy & mummy did not bought the hampers themselves. The hamper on the right is given to mummy by her company and this is the 5th hamper that she has got as its a yearly affair so far. And time really flies cos she has been working in this company for the 5th year and so far this is also the only company that she has worked the longest.

As for the hamper on the left, daddy got it through draw lots from his company. And isn't he lucky cos there's only 5 hampers to be drawn among 16 staffs and this brand new year seems to be a lucky year for daddy too cos he has won $200 cash angbao (third prize) during his company D & D in Jan 10 for the first time, followed by striking 4D consolation prize in the same month and now this hamper. Daddy is quite pleased with himself too as he has never had this good luck before. And may the year of Tiger brings lots of luck, wealth, good health, happiness & prosperity to our family! Huat ah! =)

Walking Steadily By Myself

Video of me walking steadily by myself at about 16 months.

Watching Cartoons

Daddy & mummy have subscribe the cartoon network channel for me several months ago and that doesn't really interest me during then except for TV advertisement. And as I grow older, my interest in watching cartoon starts to grow. From few seconds of watching has now slowly increased to few minutes but mummy will also not allow me to watch tv for long too cos it's not good for my eyes. When mummy ask if I wanna watch cartoon, I will nod my head and say cartoon as 'car-ten' which I still can't pronounce it clearly yet but mummy is still able to make out what I'm saying. At times, I will even stand up and dance by swinging my body or imitate them by humming when I saw children singing and dancing.

Cheeze!!!

Saying 'cheeze' is one of my trademark now cos whenever I saw daddy or mummy taking out their camera, I will immediately pose & 'cheeze' for them to take pictures of me. Most of the time when my parents & relatives saw me 'cheezing', they will start to laugh cos I look SO ADORABLE when I do that. And mummy always can't help to give me a kiss or hug when she saw this super adorable ME!

Visiting my Tai-Ma

It has been quite sometime since I last visit my tai-ma, so daddy & mummy brought me there the previous Sunday to pay her a visit. Initially when I reached there, I'm abit shy and just sat quietly on the sofa observing the people around the house. But after few mins, I started to play and climb around. I even stand up and walk around by myself although I'm still not walking steadily yet.
