Lunar New Year

The lunar new year holidays passed so quickly...

We were still cleaning away on the Eve. Lol... Went to NTUC to buy food in the morning, cooked our own lunch in the afternoon and went to Gu Chays' place for dinner at night. Offered prayers after midnight as thanks for the past lunar year and blessings for the new lunar year.

Had a simple 1st day... Went to Louye's place in the morning. Wore my Kua and offered him tea, offered incense to the ancesters and Lailai. Next stop at Gu Chays' where we had our lunch. Then we popped over Sansok's place, afterwhich they popped over our place. Their last stop at Louye's place and we went back to Gu Chays' place for dinner. Lol...

2nd day, we went to Tampines Giant to buy fish for Hanhan's porridge. Luckily, we still had fresh vegetables in the fridge, which we had bought on Eve morning. Though Giant was opened, they did not have much choices for vegetables and they were not fresh.

Was surprised that Ghimbo turned up with Mum, Alex, Dreamer and Kitty. Had a couple of rounds of mahjong before I had to help Dardar with cooking some of the dishes for dinner. Hehe... Asked Reca to take over eventually. Too much food, cannot finish.

3rd day, Louye came to pick Hanhan. Ghimbo, me and Dardar went to River Ang Bao. Guess who we met there? Lol... Though she was not formally introduced to the family yet, we had met her twice including today?

Dad didnt mention about going to his place for dinner that day. Hmm... We didnt know till he tried to call us in the afternoon but I guess it was too late. Learnt from Kitty that there was a lot of food. Yummy yummy?

4th day, went back to work. Supposed to be half day and we can return home after the CNY lunch but I had too much work to do. Returned to office after the lunch and stayed till 6pm. Tomorrow would be another long day with people having so many demands and deadlines. Already told the family that I will need to OT on friday.
