25.01.2009 - Reunion dinner - 1st half for popo’s yu-sheng (Lo Hei) & steamboat and 2nd half for ah ma’s dinner. I am still having my milk feed and porridge as usual. 

First experience with CNY Lo hei - Popo's homemade!

The adults tossing up good fortune

No adult food yet for me as most of them are chemically processed. They are a potential choking hazard, may develop allergy and my little kidneys are not strong enough to handle too much salt. Too much salt not only cause damage, it has also been linked to diabetes later in life. No sweet stuff because sugar causes tooth decay and obesity and harmful in other ways too.
Mommy has the most tooth decay among the CHINs and somewhat cost her a bomb for many many years. It was all started when she was a baby, took a long time to finish her milk, long time to chew when she was a kid and used to hate brushing her teethes.
Lesson was learned and Mommy will avoid giving me extra sugar for as long as possible and Daddy, pls be more co-operative.

After the reunion dinners, we head to JB with the OKEs for firecrackers. Everyone have lots of fun. I may not know what's going on but I will definitely experience it again when I grow up.
It was 11.40pm when I returned Singapore. The CHINs' started giving out ang pows when the clock strike 12am and I was made to do my first pai nian in the middle of the nite. Summary of this CNY = Tired...


Sleeping looks

Finally get close up with Coco on CNY, look at her pink nails!

26.01.2009 – It’s 1st day of CNY and all OKEs gathered at Ah Tai’s place for CNY visiting and gambling.
I was nervous and cranky because of unfamiliar place, faces & noise. The Uncles & Aunties were very nice to me, carried me around, talk to me, feed me, play with me and eventually I got warmed up and started performing “Hello”, “gong xi”, “clap hands” & “Bye Bye”. =p

Spot-check... got to make sure Daddy bought all my CNY tools
Quick rehearsal at the void deck… "gongxi, gongxi"
I was satisfied with my act, so was Mommy.
