2nd day of Chinese New Year

Today is the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. As per previous years, we went back to my mum's place to bai nian & have lunch there. However, this year is slightly different as we got a new member who's joining us.

This is the 1st year which Daryl goes to my mum's place to bai nian, thus my mum is very excited about our visit. She cooked a very sumptuous lunch for us to partake. However, it's a pity that Daryl can't eat much of the food as he's still too young.

After our lunch, we went to my Gu Po's house for a visit. When we reached her house, Gu Po & Gu Jie were so excited to see him that they raised their voices when they saw us. They last saw him when he was just a month old. Now he's all grown up already. Their loud voices scared Daryl so much that he cried very loudly, thus I had to pacify him. He calmed down after a while. However, he wouldn't let anyone else carry him. It was only towards the end of our visit that he allowed Gu Po & Gu Jie to carry him, but only for a short while. We left after about 1 hour's time. Before we left, Gu Po & Gu Jie told us to visit them more often.

After that, we went to my Grandma's place. It's been a while since we visited. When I saw Grandma, I couldn't believe how much she had aged. She couldn't recognized us at all despite the fact that we are her fav grandkids. This is the result of the dementia which she's suffering from. Haiz... We took some pics with her for remembrance.

About 2 hours later, we went back to my mum's place. Mum told us to have our dinner there since we don't have any plans.

After dinner, we were sitting at the sofa watching TV when Daryl decided to use my finger as his teether.






Here's a vid of me playing with Daryl

We left my mum's place at about 9pm as Daryl is tired already. This spells the end of the 2nd day of CNY for us.
