I know it’s kinda late to be talking about a Chinese New Year that has passed for almost half a year. But I thought I’d share the pictures out, since I’m compiling all the pictures now anyway. Of course, no celebration is complete without the inclusion of my family members. So here again I show to you Yan Yan in her naughty mood again:

She loves to try new things. Have a look at her taking on high heel shoes from her mum!

My sister Cheng came over to “pai nian” on the first day of CNY! Yeah, tradition says that married girls should only return to their parent’s home only on the 2nd day of CNY. But traditions can change right? Even my wife goes back to Sagil on that day too! It was mentioned during my previous entry about Cheng’s new car on that day.

Back in sagil, Yan Yan had a great time playing with her cousins and her aunties!

On the second day of CNY, there was this lion dance troupe. It was not a free thing though. An angpow was necessary. We made Yan Yan touch the lion’s head so that she will not be scared by it when the dance starts.

My wife was pregnant with our second baby that time, so my mother-in-law forbids her from watching the lions. You won’t be able to see her among the lion dance pictures.

I have seen houses being blessed, but I have never seen cars being blessed before! Check this out, my brother-in-law’s car is being blessed by those lions!

Later that same night we all went to Melaka on his newly blessed car! Hehehe. We went to Jonker Street to take some pictures.

Surprise surprise, I met with Heng Yarly and Uncle Lee Yieng Wei there! Small world huh? Right after I took this picture in fact:

We didn’t go anywhere else special during this year’s Chinese New Year. But it was fun nonetheless. For more pictures, head on to my gallery.
