1st Day of CNY

Today is the 1st day of CNY. This year, it's kinda of special as Dawn is joining us for the 1st time.

I didn't sleep well last night as Dawn kept waking up. Thus, when she woke up at about 8am this morning, Kel brought her out to the living room so that I can sleep in. Isn't that very sweet of him? :p

When I finally woke up at about 10.30am, I went out to the living room to give Dawn her 1st ang paos from Kel & me.

















































Dawn was so fascinated with her ang paos that she kept playing with them & putting them in her mouth. She looks so happy that I decided to take some pics of her & Kel.













































































When Daryl woke up at about 12pm, we gave him his ang paos. However, he's not very cooperative. I think that he's still tired from all the activities for the past 2 days.























































































































































































































After the photo taking, we gave Daryl his brunch while we ate our lunch. Then it's time for Daryl's shower & Dawn's bath. I wanted to take a pic of them in their new clothes. However, Daryl refused to cooperate. Thus, I only got a pic of Dawn in her new clothes.

Then we are off the Kel's Gu Ma's place to bai nian. While waiting for the lift, I asked Asty to take a family pic for us. Pity that they are not very well taken. It seems that eversince she 'knows' that we are going to send her back, she got no mood to do anything already. I was actually very fed up with her. But since it's the 1st day of CNY, I held my mouth.















































































Daryl in his new Pumpkin Patch tee & jeans & Adidas shoes. We bought the tee which was on sale when we were in Australia last year while I got the jeans from a BP in the Singapore Motherhood forum. As for the shoes, we got it at 40% discount at Takashimaya. :p

Dawn & Me

When we reached Kel's Gu Ma's place, we waited for a very long time for the lift as 1 out of the 2 lifts were spoilt. There were only 2 lifts serving 25 storeys. Can you believe it? When the lift came, Kel, me & Dawn couldn't get into it as a very inconsiderate couple cut our queue & entered the lift. In the end, Kel's dad & Daryl went up to Gu Ma's place 1st. Kel's dad had told us that Gu Ma stayed on the 9th floor. However, we realised that we went to the wrong floor when we couldn't find the house. Kel then called his cousin to enquire which floor that they are staying on. It turns out that they were staying on the 8th floor! The best thing is, we couldn't find Kel's dad & Daryl when we reached Gu Ma's place! Kel then called his dad's hp to find out where they were. It was then we found out that Kel's dad went up to the 12th floor as he thought that Gu Ma was staying on that floor. We were speechless as he was the 1 who told us that Gu Ma was staying on the 9th floor. Then why did he went up to the 12th floor? *faint* Poor Daryl had to accompany him to walk down the stairs from the 12th floor to the 8th floor.

At Kel's Gu Ma's place, Kel took more pics of me & Dawn. He said that there wasn't any pics of me & Dawn today, thus he wants to take some pics of the 2 of us. However, I think the real reason was that he was afraid that I am bored. I didn't know his relatives well, thus I was not able to chat with them. I can't watch TV also coz his cousin was playing this DVD of oldies. The songs were so old that I wasn't even born when they were sung.

At about 6pm, I told Kel that I wanted to go home already. I was getting a migrane due to the heat & the very loud music. His cousin didn't on the aircon even though the whole house is installed with aircon. There was only 1 fan which was blowing at my father-in-law while the rest of us had to endure the heat. That's not all. Kel's cousin even went to close the main door as he said that the music was too loud, thus it might disturb his neighbours. *faint*

By then, Daryl was getting very restless & Dawn was getting very cranky. She was not able to nap due to the heat & the loud music. However, Kel's dad don't want to leave! He kept telling us to stay as he wanted to chat with the relatives. I was very annoyed when I heard that. We were there from 2.30pm till 6pm & had endured with the heat, the stuffiness, the loud music, Daryl's nottiness & Dawn's crankiness for the past few hours while he enjoyed himself. I gave Kel the 'look' which indicated that if his father is not leaving, we would! He got the hint & told his dad that. His dad still wouldn't give up & insisted that his relatives visited our house next. I couldn't be bothered to stay & listen to their conversations & went to open the main door & waited there with Daryl & Dawn. Kel joined me soon. His dad soon got the obvious hint & left together with us.

We were so glad to be home! What a day...
