Aunt Shirley has been making our yusheng from scratch these passed years. Dehydrating the vegetables, candied some and the whole nine yard.

Aunt Cangy will makes rolls of loh bak prior to tonight. Steamed it before freezing it. When it is time to serve, you just need to lightly deep fried the tofu skin.

Everyone chips in for tonight's feast. From purchasing the produces to making it, from setting up to washing down.

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!

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...

Between the age of 7 to 12, I was one of the participant, arranged by me ma to partake as one of the flower girls ┗(-_-;)┛ Between the age of 13 to 17, I partook as a paramedic member for St. John. A big part of my childhood, with numerous fond and fun memories. Thereafter, I've only been to the parade, as a visitor, for less than 5 times in 18 years!
After about 148 years, Johor Chinese Old Temple's Annual Chingay is finally recognised as the National Heritage Event ★

With so many leftover 紅包 which was, literally, shafted to us annually during Chinese New Year shopping, I made these flower balls for decoration AND for my cats to play.
It is quite easy to make but can be a little time consuming (and addictive for me). Instruction on how to make it is all over the internet. YouTube, too.
This is the only few ways which I can ease up the amount of 紅包 my mum collected and refused to recycle them with other paper waste in the household!
Note: I used sticky tapes instead of staplers when I make the flower ball for my cats to play. Safety first ★♪.

Us Dragons need to appease Tai Sui this year. A general feng shui explaination in Cantonese is embedded in the video of my trip to the local temple.

My Neighbour's
Mom, sis and I watched as my neighbour set the hot air balloon into the sky with their written wishes. Surreal.
