Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Happy New Year to one and all! Wishing everyone a prosperous year ahead!

This is my 1st CNY as different role - A wife and a daughter-in-law! haha... Today was a busy and fun day. busy in helping here and there. Preparing the "gim zhem gu", sweeping b/f area and porch, bathing Xiaobai and trimming the fur around his mouth(the area there makes him look very dirty), driving my neighbour to do some last-minute shopping. haha... kinda kampong spirit! =P Doing some cleaning here and there.

Had a great reunion dinner at home! Ate lotsa abalone and fish (the 2 most prominent food that stuck in my mind). After sweeping the living room and kitchen area, it was 10pm! Time flies today! Took a bath and started preparing the angpows. Both Allan and I took out the crisp notes and started slotting in diligently. Abit like assembly line. He count notes, I slot into angpows. Well, it's pretty exciting giving angpows for the 1st year. It's a blessing to be able to give! =)

After that, we went out for a date. Hee... to East Coast Park. had some dessert by the beach. I told him 95% will be Malays and Indians. My prediction was true enough. haha....

Reached home at 12plus.. And guess what, MIL super-on. She was in her pyjamas and she was sleeping. Then she woke up, came over and jio jio us to Chinatown!!!! Since she's so ON, the four of us all went (Allan, me, 2nd BIL and MIL). Eu Tong Seng road was closed. Luckily, we managed to find a lot at Club Street. hehe... There were alot of pple although it was One plus. Oh My God! It was quite fun although I hate to jostle with the crowd. At some point in time, I was pushed around... I haven't been to Chinatown during CNY for a loooong time.

I feel it's great to go there like tonight. We bought some piggy cute stuff back! Shall take pics tomorrow. =) Time for me to go sleep liao.
