新年快乐 （2013）- CNY Day 2 初二 & CNY Day 3 初三

 

2nd day of CNY is traditionally a day for married daughters to visit their birth parents, relatives and close friends (for married daughters didn't have the opportunity to visit their families frequently). So, on this day, we headed back to Mummy dearest place first, then went to my granny's place for a get together with the married daughters. 

 

First lo-hei of the year. I normally eat just the crackers and salmon.

  

捞 for prosperity. 

 Then, we decided to take family portraits with our grandparents & I became the official photographer for the day.

 1st auntie, 2nd auntie and 1st uncle family. We have a big family, so all the relatives & uncles are supposed to be called according to their ranking. However, we normally call them by their last name + uncle/auntie. 

 

with my beloved family ~ no idea what mummy dearest is doing, lol! 

2nd uncle, 4th auntie, 5th auntie & 6th auntie.

 

with my 2 lil precious brothers, baby bro & lil bro.

 

And, the elder-sister-younger-brother pairing continued. We need to start a new trend next year. Maybe will be brother-brother pairing, haha!

 

with my "BFs" of the day :) Sorry, all attached. 

 

Taking pictures with the younger ones. Isaac holding onto his fave pikachu toy.

 

What's CNY without a bit of gambling? 

Ah Yen got the best luck this year. He spilt his card and got blackjack on both pairs, ended up $X richer. A good start for the new year!

 

On this day, we headed over to Ryan's place to pai nian. 

  

The must-have at every CNY gathering. 

 

Good idea to place a disposable plastic on the table - no fret of getting the table dirty. 

 

 Baby Raenee, Ryan's precious lil girl.

  She was sleeping, but opened her eyes when we told her that it was time to take pictures, so cute!
