Chinese New Year


In the early morning of new year eve, I woke up continuing cleaning the house while my brother help out in the Reunion dinner preparation. After cleaning the house fully, went back to sleep again before fetching my uncle from the airport. The traffic was so smooth that I sped all the way from my house to the airport ignoring the speed limits shown by the roadsides. Well, the speed i drove did scared my grandma for a while.

As the peaceful night approach...

My relatives start to coming to my house. And as usual my uncle will bring his dogs to let me kacau but it has its ultimate protection from the owner.

Cute dogs

Start to set up the tables and getting ready to EAT.... I sat at the table for two hours non-stop eating and listening to nonsense joke. Not long after that here comes the free firework display for me =)

Fireworks

After dinner, following the tradition of my families, the whole family have to go to 9 temples and pray. Beautiful decorations and lighting are put up and the lanterns are the most nicest among all. Not forgetting pretty girls everywhere also

Nicely lit up lantern

The Ong Lai candles

Anyway, each temple I enter, I cried

On the New Year Day itself, wishes can be heard and red packets can be seen =)
We went to watch movie in Queensbay as my uncle said very bored leh stay at home, so we decided go watch the "Little Big Soldier"

The movie is extremely hilarious. It doesn't look like an action movie as shown in the above pic. Even the most serious moment can turn into laughter except the last moment.

Till last Tuesday, I went to Kek Lok Si temple with the usual college buddies and their partners.

Walk round there till they closed all the lights, which is around 1am :|

Before I end this post, I would like to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year.
