Lunar New Year’s Day

Dearest Skyler,

Today’s Lunar New Year’s Day! We went out visiting almost the whole day!

We woke up a bit late as we were all quite tired. Once we did though, we rushed to get dressed and headed off to Dai-Bat-Gong’s place. We met Popo, Bubu and Moh-moh there. Of course, Kor-kor Yuping was there too. :D You had some fun there playing with his toys and cars.

After that, we headed off to Grandma’s once more to visit. It is customary to visit all our elders to pay our respects and also receive blessings from them. Thus, though we were there only last night, we had to visit her again – of course Ah-Pek was still there. We stayed for a short while there and of course you had to ask for your milk again. And of course you had to jump on Grandma’s bed again.

We then headed off to visit Dai-Po’s place where all of Mama’s relatives were. Of course Popo, Bubu and Moh-moh were there too. There were so many people there. We had got there late but thankfully we managed to catch everyone. :D As you’re the youngest member of the family now, everyone wanted to play with you. :D You had some fun playing with everyone. Che-che Kexing also enjoyed playing with you. She kept on carrying you… she even helped you put on your socks and shoes when we left. :D

When we were leaving, you wanted to sit in Bubu’s car so Moh-moh put you in the back seat and strapped you in. :D

We then headed home after that to get a nap. After we got up, we headed off to the Point for dinner. It’s so strange that the food stores were open. Previously, when Mama and Papa were growing up, no stores were open at all during the first few days of the Lunar New Year. We always had problems getting food or anything. Now, most of the food stores are open and we don’t have such worries at all.

We ate at the Mos Burger restaurant and you ate some of their food. You especially enjoyed their corn soup. :D

After dinner, we headed home to rest.

Papa and Mama love you!
