The Joy In Our Lives: GONGXI GONGXI!!!

This is my 1st CNY!!! Happy Lunar New Year to Everyone! Gongxi Fa Chai! :)

CNY Eve

Daddy was out early in the morning to help Ah Pak. Mummy and I woke up at 7 something and mummy started to get busy. She put me at the living room playing by myself while she vacumned the living room and dining room. However, as sticky as I am to mummy, i cried and crawled for her before she managed to finish mopping the floor. Out of no choice, she slinged me and continue her vacumning and mopping the floor and washing the clothes and bedsheets. It was a sunny day! And mummy managed to finish cleaning the house and her few loads of laundry before noon when daddy was back. In the afternoon, we went to nursery to buy ying liu, a kind of cny plant, and a vase to decorate house, before heading to popo's house for reunion dinner. Mummy dressed me in a pink chinese costume and they had an enjoyable reunion dinner at popo's place. We left popo's house b4 11pm, and i fast asleep in the car on the journey back until next day morning.

1st day of CNY

Today is CNY! Mummy and daddy gave me a red packet or ang pao and wish me good health. Then we went to popo's house. Everyone has already woke up and gougou jiejie had dressed in their new clothes! I was in good mood too and kept crawling to the coffee table as there are many bottles with sweet and candy. Mummy said i cannot eat these stuff yet so she only let me play with the bottle. Gugu then let me play a tricycle. She pushed the tricycle while i sat on it. It was fun and I loved to sit on it.

In the afternoon, we drove back to Pontian. To our surprise, there was no electricity at wai po's house and so hot. I was hot and cranky and won't let other ppl carry except for mummy and daddy. Anyway, i felt better after dinner. We left wai po's house 8 something as there was still no electricity.

My young cousins they all came to our house at night after we came back from Pontian.

I managed to climb the staircase all the way. Another headache to mummy...

2nd day of CNY

We went to popo's house in the morning for kai nian fan. Popo cooked many nice dishes but all i can't eat. We left for home at 1 plus to catch my beauty nap. Back at home, i refused to sleep and played in the living room. I was pushing a biscuit tin then knocked to the tin. My mouth so pain!!! And i felt salty as my mouth was bleeding due to knocking to my teeth. Daddy and mummy rushed to me. I was crying uncontrollably and mummy was carrying me to calm me. They got a shock too as first time i knocked myself until got blood and my mouth was swollen. I stopped crying after awhile but clinging tightly to mummy. To compensate their carelessness, mummy gave me some mandarin to suck. It taste good! That evening, we went to Mega Ria a seafood restaurant for dinner with gong gong, po po, Ah Pak family and Da gu family. Thereafter we went tesco megamart to shop. Daddy mummy bot a lot of drink for my birthday party in the coming saturday.

See my swollen lip after the knock. Sob sob...

3rd day of cny

Today we went back Pontian as going to celebrate Lao Ma (mummy's grandma) 88 birthday. I was still very clingy to mummy but managed to take a good nap at wai po's house. All mummy's family came for the birthday celebration and we have 5 tables at Shun Feng Lou. Mummy put me in a highchair and fed me with fish and toufu. We reached home at 10 plus. However, i didn't sleep well in the night and wake up a few times.

4th day of cny<
I caught a flu! My mucus and my saliva were dropping everywhere! I have been drooling a lot recently due to teething and got irritated by constant rubbing off the mucus and saliva by adults.

We didn't go anywhere today. Daddy felt very bored at home so after i woke up at 4pm, he drove me and mummy out to kai kai. He kept on driving for quite awhile until we reached "Nan Ya Kang", a scenic fishing village. They have a sumptuous and very cheap seafood dinner before we headed back to JB. We were caught in the jam on the way back as people are on their way back to JB for going back to work the next day.

Popo came to our house to stay at night. I was very cranky due mainly to the stuffy nose and kept on crying and refuse to sleep and wanted mummy to carry. Daddy mummy and popo tried all means to make me sleep - carrying, singing, playing baby songs and finally milk milk, but i just won't want to sleep and continue to cry. Finally finally, i slept past 2am out of exhaustion...

See what was I doing inside the car during the long car journey:
