and as usual, tis is gonna be based on my pathetic memory AGAIN! =D
1st day: usual stop @ MIL's place.. the lil boy was sleeping while on the way so it was up to missy to melt the ladies' hearts.. and she did.. with her funny BUT NOTTI antics.. and MIL's sister actually declared "i love you!"... *brrrrrr* ^_<
and who can resist a photo with the mischievous one?
dear gambled abit (& lost!) and we headed to my FIL's place.. but i was trying my darn best not to let adri & ayden roam everywhere dat i missed out on photos!
as for the rest of the day, it was of course spent back @ mummy's place.. where else? missed this part of CNY last year as they were in Taiwan for holidays.. it was so different (& quiet!!!) without them.. and i definitely do not want them away for CNY again.. (which they totally agreed upon cos they missed the festivities too!).. however, i was too busy with the kiddos and trying to entertain everyone else (and catch a nap at the same time), that i had no chance (forgot!) to take pics.. hiaks!
2nd day: visited great-grandpa and the rest of the relatives (who are the same as those who visited us on the 1st day la...) and missy had a great time running all over.. talking about MY great-grandpa.. hmm.. he gave all os us a scare on the 1st day when i carried ayden boi to greet him happy CNY.. his face soured and he almost burst into tears!! gosh.. i was so worried if he was ok.. turns out he was soooooooooooo happy to see so many people around him.. =D
qi qi carrying ayden boi boi to "entertain" great-grandpa AND missy with her pretty 陈宝珠's era dress and retro staircase pose
oops! i guess ayden & i squashed dear's face up.. ha! too bad i am envious of him losing so much weight. hmpf!
missy continued on her act-pretty poses!
then we headed off to 舅舅's hse for gathering and some gambling (and dear lost again!)
can't resist squeezing my baby and making her take pics with me.. ha!
more pics of the notti monkeys!
with her pretty wanqiu ah yi...
then we headed to tunglok @ arena where i had my 1st & best yusheng this year.. the vege were so fresh and crunchy! as for the rest of the food, they were not too bad and i certainly had fun with my dear ayden boi boi as u can tell from the later pics!
camwhoring with the little one who is laughing so beautifully cos i was bouncing him! but.....
he got damn irritated with me cos i didn't realise my hair was poking into his eyes! OOPS!!! check out the funny face below.. ROFL!
3rd day: brought missy for her class while mum & granny were out to send 珮姨to the airport for her bangkok holiday.. *envoius!* came back to find little princess, Faith and Mary auntie and her mummy over at mum's place.. the girls seem to be able to play together better! yeah yeah.. and thanks to Faith who is more gentle, missy ACTS like she sayangs didi too.. (wat a good actress sia??)
u'd tink they get along fine huh? these NICE siblings moments happen only 50% (MAX!) of the time.. but well.. they have to start somewhere, dun they??
5th day: was spent @ NYNY with alice, jas, carol, ben & e 2 little boys!!! had a great time catching up and erm.. bitching.. and am now waiting for miss carol to post the pics of us somewhere! yoohoo!
6th day: back @ work with a reluctant spirit.. hiaks.. and to perk us up, we coerced our dear KT to buy us our 开工宴 @ Bosses @ Vivo.. the lau sar bao is still the best and i have missed it lots.. BUT the service sucks!!! would have complained if not for the fact that i m trying to save my soul from being cursed over the CNY period. i might as well be the one to curse the captain who served our table.. hahaha!
7th day (aka 人日): had lunch with the rest of the team @ Ban Heng @ harbourfront.. super old skool chinese restaurant but surprisingly, the food ain't too bad! and there's tis cute, old waitress by the name of HO who is superb!! she kept feeding us water that made us so full by the end of the 5th course.. LOL
8th day: we cannot curb our gambling desires anymore, especially with isaac away in Sabah over the coming weekend, we made an earlier date with him for our poker @ sabri's hse.. ha! to which, dear LOST again!! and so did I.. wah piangz.. tis year is not good for gambling for the both of us sia.. hurhur..
10th day: erm.. unsatisfied with our losses (and also cos KT wasn't ard on thurs), we had ANOTHER session @ sabri's hse again.. tis time with the kids.. dear decided not to gamble liao as it is obviously clear he is not out for gambling this year.. so he took care of the 2 monkeys while i played (and LOST!!!!!!!!!!!) *shakes head*..
and we headed to 好姨's house for a gathering and also to meet with doris & john.. =) the little monkey enjoying himself sans pants after waking up from his nap..
姨丈treated us to dinner @ Kimly Live Seafood @ Tradehub.. we weren't too impressed with the place initially as it was set in a foodcourt, but with restaurant prices.. however, the food that was served certainly lived up to the hype surrounding this Seafood Restaurant set in a food court.. hmmm.. Food portions were generous too!
11th day: as a CNY tradition every year, the family goes to this 斋堂 (datz wat we call it anyway.. hee) to pray and go through a ritual of 补运 & 点佛灯.. qiuu is so funny. she actually completed the ritual this year (we always dun cos we had to chope seats for the vegetarian meal thereafter!) and hopes to meet her other half this year.. *all the best to my dear cousin! u are such a sincere and pretty babe, i m sure that'll be of no issue at all!*
@ the makan table... mr notti ayden doing a series of funny faces..
missy having her turn at the swing.. i tot this swing was about my age cos i have seen it since young.. but NO!!!!! it is of my aunties' age.. cos 好姨 says itz been there since she was young! hurhurhur.. now that we know, should we be wary of the rivets?? hahaha
shoutout to qiuu: i tink u look sooooooooooo pretty & motherly, so full of love in these pics! awwww.. pity dat ayden boiboi kena motion sickness due to the swing's movements.. ha!
and........ 13th day: we had the lions visiting us in the office! HUAT ar!!!
with my dear gu-ma... she is a very very very lovely lady.. pity i dun see her often enough.. hmm...
