CNY 2012

Unlike the past CNY, this year we are pretty occupied.

Eve of CNY
With the priviledge of having mom around, she cooked a simple meals for our reunion dinner.  Simple?  I thought CNY reunion dinner has to be a sumptuous meal?  Yup.  Problem is:  Shally's kitchen is not well equipped with the necessary utensils to prepare for a lavish dinner.  But we all enjoyed the meal, especially Shally.  The sad thing is, no Loh Bak, Jiu Hoo Char, Otak-otak and Bi Hoo Char - Penang cuisine that has always been the main dishes cooked during CNY by my MIL. 

1st Day of CNY
We went to Mdm Kwan in KLCC for lunch.  The food is delicious.  After the meal, we lingered around for awhile before proceeding to 2 church members' houses.  They have invited Andrew to visit them during this festive season.

A couple visited us and we have a wonderful time catching up.  My MIL enjoyed the pineapple tart that she baked it herself.  But we still preferred my MIL's pineapple tart.  Missed it so much!

2nd Day of CNY
Another shopping day at Mid Valley.  Mom and I bought a pair of jeans in Jusco as there was a sale up to 70% discount.  A pair of jeans with the original price RM100+ and now is selling only at RM30+.  Grab it before it is too late!  However, Je Ee couldn't find one that fits her well.  Instead, she got herself a pair of shoes!

Later in the evening, we went to Sushi King at Subang Parade for dinner.  Erwyn enjoyed the Japanese egg custard.  He finished half of it!  As for Elyse, she finally got to watch Lion Dance!  There was a lion dance performance at the concourse.  Elyse even received an orange from one of the lions!  How excited she was!

3rd Day of CNY
Tired and exhausted after a 2-day shopping.  Resting at home.  2 friends dropped by to visit my MIL.

4th Day of CNY
Australian Day.  But most importantly, it is Andrew's birthday!  Happy birthday, dear!
Poor Daddy, he has to go back to work today.  But Mummy was planning to surprise Daddy.  I brought Elyse to Swensen to buy an ice-cream cake for Andrew.  He enjoyed it so much the last time when we bought it for Elyse.  To our disppointment, no stock left due to CNY.  Sob.  Sob.

5th Day of CNY
My mom leaves for JB today.  Words can never describe how much she has helped us at this crucial time.  Even Elyse does not want grandma to leave.  Thank you, mom!


Well, that's about it.  We are not going to celebrate 15 days, aren't we?
