~C*N*Y*2013~

Hi readers, I kept my promise! I'm back :)
I had 10 days of off days for this year's Chinese New Year. It was the longest holiday ever after I started working.

Being at home & with your love ones are the best thing ever! 


As usual, CNY 2013 were about gathering of family & relatives, and of course, friends! 

These are the outfits that I wore for my CNY. Dresses that I barely wear in normal days. Looks different from the usual me, I have feminine side too. :P


As usual, the 1st day of CNY, My family & I took yearly group photos before heading to my grandma's place.




Meeting up with my grandma, aunts, uncles & most importantly, crazy cousins! We hugged, we hold hands tightly, we spent the day with continuous laughters. Miss them so much! 


Skype-ed with Sister at Russia & Uncle at Ireland. So far yet so near. :)






Not to be missed, I met up with my best friends on these special days as well! 

My sisters, CL & HL came to my place on the 2nd day of CNY. We had just 3 hours to gossip, catch up & cam-whore. Although it was short, we had a great time! Thank you babes! 





For my 3rd day of CNY, I finally got the chance to meet up with my best friend, Xin!  
We haven't met for 3 years due to we were overseas & didn't get the chance to meet up due to time constrains.

We visiting another friend, Yee Shuen's place. Thanks for her hospitality :)

It was another long catch-up with Xin as we had a private session that night.



As for my 4th day, went for a random movie session with Xin, Yee Shuen, & Lee Yoong. We watches "Parker". Love it!


That night itself, I went for dinner at Sakae Sushi, Auto-City with daddy, eldest brother & sis-in-law, with aunts & cousins. Yummey~!! 





After the dinner, I met up with secondary school classmates!

We played cards & stayed up till the next morning but didn't manage to stay till breakfast as everyone was damn tired.

Had a nice chat with Chai Ping too :)









For the 5th day, the next morning, I went Penang with my eldest brother & sis-in-law to fetch my mom from airport. She went KL on the 3rd day of CNY. After fetching mom, we went for solve our Penang food cravings! :D


We had cendols, char koey teow & Penang Laksa!! It was really crowded that day but we were satisfied.







That night itself, we had steamboat for our Valentine Dinner :) 












6th day was my last day at home. We visited grandma again!
This is my beloved grandma. 















My aunt cooked Thai Laksa & my favourite fried corn cakes! We made homemade taro ball desserts too! Ate much that day! :O


That night itself, mom cooked fried rice for supper. She smiled to us & said, " it's the last day to eat so much, tomorrow u all are going back."
I can feel the reluctance of her for tomorrow's arrival although she was hiding her emotions. Thank you, mom. 





The next morning, my uncle & his family came to fetch me back to Johor. Had my very first satay celup at Melaka while we were on the way back. Slurps!















I only went back Singapore on the next day. Xiao jiu & jiu mu, thanks for bringing me for great food, worrying that I have eaten enough. I sincerely thank you both for your love & care for me. 











I had to leave. Temporarily leaving my beloved family, back to working life without them to be physically there with me. I am used to be independent, thanks to many years of 'training':
2 years in Penang, 2 years in KL, 3 months in UK & almost a year in Singapore.

Thanks for my parents to make me a better person who can do everything on my own. I promise that I'll not let u all down, in fact, making u both to be proud of having me as your daughter!
