Year of the Tigger - CNY Day 1

A very Gong Xi V-Day to everyone!!! Hee hee...

With each passing Chinese New Year, I get more and more aware of some of the customs that come with it. This year, as you probably know by now, di-di & I have been hooked on certain CNY songs! :P

And as with all CNY, it is a time of photos galore too... smile and smile and smile... at least we get angpows as rewards? With Optimus Prime on it no less! Hahaha...

And so, just sit back and enjoy the photos yah...

Then it was time to head out to our first stop of the day - Ye-ye's & Ma-ma's house.

Di-di & I took turns to serve them tea...

... before, you guessed it, MORE photo-taking!

After having our brunch, we then set off to Kong-kong's & Por-por's place for erm, some more eating... well, at least I had my little cousin, Alicia, to keep me company while the adults feasted.

Then time to head out to my paternal Tai-por's place, and this time it had an interesting activity that I can take part in.

No, not smiling for the camera lah.

But tossing the yusheng, or Chinese Salad, high up into the air!

You can't see me in the photo, but I was having too much fun flipping the bits of greens & carrots upwards. This may be the only chance of the year that I get to play with my food sans scolding. Hahaha...

And finally, our final pit-stop of the day - my maternal Tai-por's place. A place where di-di used up much of his brain juice - figuring which candies to stuff into his mouth! :P

Definitely one hectic and tiring day for di-di & me... but we did catch up on our sleep in the car in between the visiting places.

Now we're off to recharge in preparation for Day 2!!!
