The Piggy Year is here!

Reunion Nite
1st stop was MaMa's house of course, but before anything else, lets take a trip down memory lane!


CNY 2006



2007, what a difference a year makes!


Watching intently while MaMa mixed the ingredients for Lo Hei

Next stop was Grand Uncle Allan's house where it was Lo Hei part 2! This year i had my first real encounter with this particular tradition of tossing food up into the air cos i could finally hold my own, together with the adults at the dining table!


Hey why has everyone stopped tossing?
Just when i was getting the hang of it!!


It was great fun wielding chopsticks...


...and force feeding Por Por and Gong Gong!

Reunion nite is definitely not complete without the requisite round of mahjong back at Mama's house after all the eating is over. This year Xiang Gor Gor and me had a go at the table while the adults were taking their toilet break!


Wah...wat lousy tiles...sheesh...

CNY Day 1
Our family is pretty small so there weren't many places to visit today. 1st stop on the agenda was Grand Aunty Selina's place for lunch. I wasnt feeling too good as i was nursing a sniffle and Mummy had given me the head spinning flu medicine so it didnt take a genius to deduce that i wasnt in the best of spirits.



Drugged and sleepy...

Mummy didnt take any more fotos cos i was whining and screaming my head off so we proceeded to Mama's house. I perked up slightly when i was given a couple more ang pows to add to my megre collection.


I finally surrendered to the medicine and knocked out in Mummy's arms while the adults went visiting another distant relative. When i awoke, we were in Tai Por's house, where the whole clan gathered every chinese new year.

Feeling decidedly much better, i was raring to go! What better way to burn my energy than chasing YiYi all over the house? We had great fun playing hide and seek and snacking non stop while an uncle regaled Daddy, Mummy and all their cousins with countless spooky tales. Haha!



I love playing with YiYi!

CNY Day 2

Having seen everyone yesterday, we spent a lazy day at home today. Eventually at evening time, Mummy decided that she had had enough of inactivity and buggered Daddy to take us to the Esplanade to catch the cny fireworks. We managed to grab a choice spot at Glutton's bay where we had front row seats to the fireworks. I was over the moon as i sat atop daddy's shoulders watching the spectacle.

We braved the throngs of people at the Esplanade Park next, cos the river hongbao was there and there were stalls and performances and lanterns. It was such a treat; there were simply so many things for me to see! How exciting!


CNY Day 3

Daddy and Mummy met up with Uncle Boon, Aunty Wanling and Uncle Axl for lunch today. After stuffing ourselves at the HK cafe in siglap, we headed off to Aunty Jen's house to meet up with the ODAC gang.

As usual, Mummy was preoccupied with keeping an eye on me and Daddy was busy shoveling new year goodies into his mouth so minimal fotos were taken. What a pity! I was in my element, entertaining all the Aunties and Uncles by singing and dancing non stop!


Mummy's cronies, who climbed the highest mountains and swam the deepest seas with her

Cny wouldnt be complete if Mummy and Daddy's crazy hall friends didnt bring the house down together. And they did just that at Uncle Teng Chee's house this year!

Besides tossing food, i also learnt how to gamble proficiently

Mummy with her hall cronies while i was busy...

....peeing on daddy's pants! Muahaha!

Smile for the camera!

Kara i noe you're sleepy but let me make a monkey face to cheer you up!

Yeah that's the way!

Best buddies forever!

My best sour pickle faces!

And look at my bulging biceps!

And this is tribute to all Mummy and Daddy's Hall friends!

AYE YO BRUDDER SISTA!

Cousin Lendall's birthday party

It's Lendall's 2nd birthday today and we all trooped down to Gymboree at Serangoon Gardens to celebrate it with him.
I was fast asleep when we arrived and Mummy let me snooze away till the games were in full swing before waking me. She was apprehensive and Daddy was totally for letting the sleeping dog, aka me, lie; cos they were afraid that I would be off the charts of my cranky-o-meter if I was to be awoken prematurely.
Nevertheless brave Mummy ventured to wake me as she didnt want me to miss out on all the action.

Half hearted attempt to play while still groggy

Should i let it rip???

Okie Im awake now, the program better be good okie?

No one could get a decent picture of the 3 cousins!

Check out Lendall in his oh-so-cool Bob the Builder outfit!

And this is his sensational cake!

Lemme go Daddy! I want to have a piece of Bob the Builder!

Ahhh gratification!

And Daddy has to go for the spanner...Sigh...
