CNY 2011

Chinese New Year is just another public holiday for us.  We didn't plan to go back to JB, my hometown.  After all, my sis n mom won't be around.  So, just stay put in Subang, together with my in laws.

2nd day of CNY, one of my in law's neighbour has invited a lion dance team to his house.  When I heard the drum rolling, my father in law and I brought Elyse to experience this traditional chinese culture.  To our surprised, she enjoys it!  I was a little worried that the drum may be too loud for her tiny ear, yet it turned out fine for my darling.

She stared in awe as she watched the 2 lions jumping up and down, moving from side to side.  After that, she went back and played with her toy lions, doing exactly what she just saw.  Since her toy drum is in our house but we were in our in law's house that morning, she used a box as her drum.  My father in law gave her a pair of chopstick and that becomes her drumstick.

Few days later we brought her to Subang Parade for dinner.  Coincidentally there was a lion dance performance there.  Elyse was excited!  She watched with undivided attention as the lion moved around.  She even took a photo with the lion!

Since then, she has been asking to watch lion dance.  But to her disappointment, I think that would be the last one before the next CNY.

Besides the lions, Elyse enjoys playing with the fireworks.  She holds it in his hands n waves it around.  Her beautiful eyes follow those sparkles and fire as she waves it in the air.

GongXi GongXi is the new vocabulary she learns this CNY.  She heard the songs all over the mall and she picks this one up all by herself.

Just before CNY, I brought her a new cheongsam.  It fits her well though it's a little bigger.  We hope to keep it till next CNY since the previous one only lasted for a few months.

A little set back is when our little princess fall sick.  She has slight running nose.  We brought her to see the doctor and she's now recovering.  This reminds me of her first CNY she was also down with flu.  First time in her life she fell sick.  That was also the time we've decided to brought her to our present doctor and are happy to be with him till now.

This is the story of our little princess.  She is the centre of our lives.
