Normally 1st day of cny in the morning, we'll greet our parents with 2 mandarin oranges but since last year, this has been tasked to Jared cos he's the youngest in the family.
Good health & good business to Ah Gong!
Kiss from Ah Gong. :D
Of cos not forgetting Roy, if he wants a angpow from him.
J's face is not round liao.. Getting sharper like Roy's, don't you think?
Normally when mum is busy with the housework, J will also be busy with his own stuff like digging out containers and boxes..
He loves to stack the bowls and cups up and I'll make it a point to ask him to keep everything after play too. Really looks like playing our masak masak when we're young last time.
Dennis clearly misses J. He's left for Nepal for training and will be back in March.
Visiting Yeye at Yishun. Sarah is the singer while Jared is the dancer. She's singing a hokkien song by the way. Lol.
Went out for dinner that evening while visiting J's great-granny. Sarah's so sweet, we asked her to lookout for J and she really stuck by his side and chased after him when he ran around.

J's soooo happy to wear the Elmo tee from Yeeyee.
Visiting my eldest uncle (mum's brother) at punggol. I think it's a must to carry on visiting of the elders since my granny has moved on 2 years back.
Afterwhich we proceeded to my eldest aunt's place at yishun. They lived in this 4th storey hdb in a 3rm flat near to the station & it's quite a crowd. She has 4 sons and another 2 aunts (my dad is the youngest) and their families. I'm tired after manning J so didn't manage to get a group photo, so this was the best I can get.

It's became a annual cny gathering at Siang Hock's place, by default. Cos everybody has already know where he stays, so its just easier to meet up there. As usual, we got him & hobc to whip up something in the kitchen.
Waited till everybody's arrived before we start the luo hei.
Good luck & Good health to everybody!
This was the highlight of the night, the peng chai. Lotsa expensive ingredients, meat & vegetables inside, we counted roughly around 20 types. I've managed to chope the claypot. :P
The rest looked
Small size next to the
Large size claypot.
After dinner, Yoyo & Uncle T went out for a break so the rest of us prepped for a surprise for her. It's her birthday the next day.
You can see SHock holding on the bd cake (for quite some time!) and towel in hand.
Yeah, we locked up the door first and mad rush for SHock to lit up the candles before springing the surprise on Yoyo and he's dusting the chair just like the dian xiao er. So funny & noisy!
Leng's bd was the day before & Yoyo's the day after so they both cut the cake together.
Forgotten why the toilet roll is next to the cake liao..
The timer on my camera fired off even before we got ready!
That's better! But I'm lazy to crop for now..
David's heading to mumbai for duty trip so we all took turns to take picture with him.
Smiling in glee with us girls with him. :D
It's the guys' turn next and all swarmed up to him!
With tongue licking & hugging!
I think too much for David with all men around him. Lol.
Danny feeling his heart to make sure it's still pumping after that, hahahhaahhaaa!!
Tender loving gazing into each other's eyes moment.
Ok, gathered the girls for our shot in the kitchen.
Totally unglamourous shot! My masterpiece!
A kawaii one next.
Lindy must be happy that her face's the smallest here. :P
Country Food has taught Jacq well, she's so good at cutting up the watermelon now!

Other than my best friend Shimei, I've not met the rest of my classmates from high school for quite some time, so this gathering proved to be more memorable.
Piddles & J.
J&J met up with a handshake.
Followed by a hug.
Ok, this boy loves to take public transport so the ezlink card never leaves his sight (even when he sleeps, still holding tightly onto it). =_=
Mingjie set up his tripod stand with camera and asked around who wants to take family photos, haha!
After that we started gathering some of the kids for photos.
Cos we noticed that all are boys!
My gosh! All 8 of them!
Whatever happen to baby girls?? They will be hot in demand next time for sure!
I must watch out for my Lauren! Hahahaaaa!
JZ with his yoyo.
SM: JZ, you know how to play the yoyo?
JZ: I know!
SM: Show me how you play?
JZ: Y is for yoyo!
SM: . . . . . . . . . .
J's face looking smirky here cos he's munching love letters.
He loves pineapple tarts, love letters, bak kwa etc all the cny goodies.
High School Reunion.
Class of 1989!
With Roy in the picture. J and one of the wives in white have brown hair, her's was dyed though.. lol.
So nice to see everybody after so many years..
Headed back home to rest.

Andrew is really very hands on, just like Jason & Dennis. *Envy**
