Happy Bunny Year !

1st day of CNY.
The gals were in cheongsam...

.. & red nails ;)

Notice my dear 2nd SIL changed her outfit? She managed to do so since she lived there. Hehe.
I love my cheongsam. It's done by our church friend but altered by someone else (long story). Every1 who saw gave real good comments.. Hee.

In the evening, we didn't go for movie like any other year because FIL's siblings were late in visiting. So hubby's siblings visited us after dinner instead & we'd a happy & money-filled night together.

Gambling?

Nope! It's Monopoly! Haha.

The game ended at about 1am & we all adjourned to an indian muslim coffeeshop nearby for supper. So our 1st CNY night ended past 2am & we only slept at about 3am (yawn~).

Day 2, we'd reunion dinner at home. Mum cooked a very sumptuous lunch!

Generous serving of sharks fin soup prepared by mum... each one of us had, like, 3 bowls? Yummy!

In the afternoon, it's movie with the family @ J8 that's postponed from the previous day.

Day 3, we'd lunch at 5th aunt's in Yishun. Then to another aunt's who lives in Jalan Bukit Merah. There're more & more dropouts - sis, bro, cousins Ann & Candy... while hubby has been such a filial son-in-law & never thought of escaping :) Otherwise mum would have to go to aunts' all by herself.


In late afternoon, we visited my ex-colleague, Lee Lee, in Eunos. She & her husband, both Malaysian, been working in Singapore for the last 15 years & had ever emigrated from Singapore to Melbourne. But they returned to Singapore after some 2 years... just in time to attend our wedding. They've been real true friends... many years ago they came to our rescue when we needed most... She's someone who's very protective of herself, didn't trust people easily & was known to be aloof in the company. That's why it's really God's grace that we can be good friends. And when I approached her for help then, she agreed without hesitation... didn't even ask for reason. We'll always remember their kindness...

The 4 of us had a great catch up of 2 hours:) In the evening, it's movie in AMK Hub.

Day 4, after church, we went to bro's... In the afternoon, to Tampines Mall's Starhub to change our SCV boxes to interactive ones... also shopped a lil @ 1 Tampines.
Just like this, the 4-day CNY holiday ended swiftly...............

Day 5, which was also the first day of work, we're still visiting. After work, we'd Lo Hei @ sis'. And she prepared dinner too. Enjoyed it!
