Chinese New Year 2013

To sum up my Chinese New Year this year, here are the photos and videos!

My first attempt of gradient glitter nails using sponging technique

Our reunion dinner at gramps' and this year, less people. Sob-sob.

After dinner at gramps', it is time for our birthday boys to cut the cake!

After all the food and merry-making, it is time to head home and prepare to receive the brand new (Chinese) year. .. and God of Wealth, of course!

With the help of our neighbour, we got our set of firecracker lighted up too! Check out the amount of firecrackers he lighted that night. I lost count. They started way before us in the video, too!

First Day of Chinese New Year

Here is the first part of the day's event...

Don't forget our super annual family photo session! Here is the short videoclip of that event:-

Shortly after the photo session, I need to rushed for my other appointments in town. By then, the heavy rain has ceased a tad. I've stopped filming, too. Didn't take any photo because my decent camera phone is in KL for servicing. Will have to wait for Jamie and Helen to send me photos before sharing those here.

Second Day of Chinese New Year

Family lunch at gramps'. This time, Alison is here! She's such a cool and pretty baby. This is my first year attending a POST-CNY family lunch. I didn't know it was a rather official event. Didn't bring my camcorder out. Sigh. Have to shot a few photos on my lesser grade camera phone...
