Chinese New Year 2015

What's the best for CNY? The food! The cookies and pastries! The gambling! The ang paussss!The friends and family reunion.

As we grow older CNY is just an reason for everyone to come home, to meet up. And this festive season grows duller and duller year by year. When I was a kid, I would be ecstatic for CNY. Mum will buy me lots of new clothes. We stayed up all night on the CNY eve to "守岁" and then wished our parents Happy Chinese New Year. In the morning of the first day of CNY, we will go back to my grandma's house and eat breakfast together (rice and various dishes). Grandma says if we eat fully on the first meal, we will eat fully for the rest of the year.
The rest of the day, we will be gambling, playing fireworks, pop-pop, taking ang paus and going here and there visiting relatives.

The second day is always my favourite because it's the day for us to go to the mum's side. Aunties and uncles from the mum's side will come home, along with my favourite cousins.

My house will organise the annual open-house on the second day. Mum and dad will cook many good food and everyone are welcome to eat!

This year, 2015.

Many relatives didn't come back, I don't know why. And my favourite cousin, she never came back since he left and I can barely see her once a year.



But then, my OGG friends all came back. It's a consolation. =)


Gambling time!!! 
It's a lucky night for me =)
And gambling with them is the best. Everyone snicker and make fun of each other. 


The complimentary group shot. 
Yi Tong have a secret technique to hold the phone for selfies. >.<


 Our favourite yumcha place. Haji Gani. 
We can sit here for hours with just a glass of teh-o-ais.


The reunion lunch photo!
This is the fourth annual reunion meal. 
(We make it alternates, dinner or lunch, see which one suits us better).

This year, the lunch was held at Tong Hoi Restaurant. Not bad, we upgraded our meals to RM800+ (with baby abalones). From the first meal RM300+, we now can afford RM800+ ones, means most of our OGG members are doing good. =)


 All of us, except Yang Jie. 

The dishes we ordered (taken from Mr Wong).
Mr Wong is our organizer =) 
His changed his name to Yik Him from Jun Kit. I still cannot get used to it so I just call him Mr Wong.

Ji Muis.

Me and Wai Kei. 
We used to be inseparable. We sat next to each other throughout out secondary school. We went to tuition at the same place. We share our secrets and support each other in no matter what.
But now, we only meet once or twice a year and barely chat in phone. =(
Still, no matter what, you are still my precious friend. 


My boss. This is the 6th CNY we celebrated together. He said he will reach Kampar on the 3rd day of CNY and then suddenly he came back on the 2nd. ^__________^


And lastly, show you the pic of my beloved cousin. My mum baby sits him when he was a baby so my whole family adores him. He is super cute and super sweet.

A bit thin but still cute!


\Thats all!!! So long~
