It's the first day of CNY!

It was a VERY early day for everyone sleeping in our room. Why? Because you woke up early. And like yesterday, you decided to call everyone's name. How to sleep? Sigh.. boy.. it was only 6.30am! And you slept late yesterday too!

Anyway, since you were already up, we managed to get you to lie around bed until almost 7.00am before heading to the bathroom to brush our teeth. That was when we got the shock of our lives. You had 5 mosquito bites on your left cheeks. And it was one big swollen cheek! Sigh.. I wonder who removed the mosquito repellent.

Anyway, nothing much can be done, so we went down for breakfast. Your chim poh's were already up and getting ready to pray and for the lion dance troupe. We had our breakfast and quickly went to use the bathroom. Otherwise, there would be a long queue of people waiting to use the bathroom.

Before anyone was ready (Ah Kong and Ah Ma who woke up early too and all ready) gave you the first ang pow for the CNY. They couldn't wait, I think. Ashley Kor Kor was still in bed half awake!

Finally everyone was up and the lion dance troupe came. By then daddy and Ah Kong had already put up the lettuce and ang pow from the stick through the upstairs window. While waiting for the troupe to get ready, we stood around outside taking pictures. Su Kor Kor even let you take pictures using her camera. Look what you took: Daddy taking a picture of you

Er.. partial picture of mummy.. your finger got in the way!After that, it was time to give out ang pows and to receive ang pow. Ah Tai was waiting to give you an ang pow. Daddy tried to get you to take it from Ah Tai, but in the end, we only took it when mummy carried you.

After lunch of the usual yummy mee suah, we took some time to take pictures. Daddy had brought back his tripod and so we managed to take some family pictures:

Soon, it was time for you to nap. You were already cranky the whole morning from the lack of sleep. And yet, when mummy took you up to the room, you refused to go to sleep. In the end (again!) Ah Ma had to intervene and you slept almost immediately. Sigh..

Mummy cooked your dinner for you while your many kor kor's kept you entertained. Soon, it was dinnertime. And again, your Chin Pohs and Kor Poh cooked so many different dishes for dinner. After your first round of moi moi, you also joined them to have some rice and the pork ball that is daddy's favourite dish. And you loved too. Daddy's boy...

This time you slept earlier. I guess from the long long day, despite your afternoon nap. And this time, daddy warned our other "room-mates" not to be too loud the next morning, so that you get to sleep in a little more.
