CNY'09

At last.. I have the opportunity to sit down, on the laptop and start to blog about my whole week of CNY events.
I am not sure why. I'm feeling rather perspiring and tiring for this year's CNY blastful celebration. My time was so packed until I truly feel that I have less energy to accommodate myself with too many activities at a time. I believe I'm getting older and older.....
Well. My daily schedules went like this.

1st day of CNY09
As usual, my house will become into a night market, crammed with lots of relatives and faraway kins too! The situation was like this; dad has to add extra 2 table fans, youngsters had to sit on the staircase, too noisy until we can't hear what's on the TV.. It was quite terrible on that morning. It was quite different this year. We had a short and small gathering with friends. Friends whom we do not see so often. It was a very soothing night, with the CNY ambience surrounding us...

2nd day
Off we went to grandma’s house in Seremban. It is a usual CNY trip for us every year. We reached there almost in the evening as we started to drive a bit late this year. And it’s a norm, grandma cooked a lot of sumptuous dishes for us! We ate until we can feel our stomachs bloated.. =)
But I’m feeling so happy to be able to eat grandma’s dishes… They were delicious!!

rs and our little cousin...

3rd day

We came back to Kluang in the evening. It was almost 7 something when we reached. I and my sis planned to have McD’s prosperity burgers as our dinner. And dad agreed. After we bathed, off we sped to McD in town and bought the burgers so that we can eat at home along with the chatting and watching tv..

4th day
Raymond reached my house in the afternoon. This year he said must buy a hamper for my parents. I told him not to waste money. So he wrapped one himself! So cute of him.. So he ate granny’s home-cooked dishes as lunch. At night, he joined me and friends for our dinner a.k.a gathering. A lot of long-lost friends attended the gathering and I was feeling quite excited that time.. We had 3 rounds of gathering. First, during dinner. Secondly, we went to –Wu Er Bu Zuo-. Third, we went to Kak Esah mamak stall. These are some of the photos snapped during that day. ^^

5th day
Our whole family went to Kluang RailCoffee for our breakfast around 9am. We spent for about an hour there. A total of 8 people and dad looked very happy that day. He wore the new CNY shirt I bought for him. Yippie!!
I went to Raymond’s house in the afternoon. It’s a tradition that I go ‘bai nian’ with his parents~ This is a picture of his family on day1.

6th day
I am back in Kluang in the afternoon!! It’s the first time I rode a train from Segamat. I do no want to trouble Raymond for driving me back to Kluang and rush back to Segamat on the same day. It was tiring for him. So, I chosed to take a train. It was just around 1 and 15 minutes ride.. It’s quite a short journey..
Chinese New Year 2009 – Loads of fun. Full of memories.
