2006 Chinese New Year Moments
7 Comments26 Jan: Late night packing. 27 Jan: Early morning drive back to KL, started the journey at 7am. Stop at Taiping for overpriced dim sum. It was pretty pathetic because there isn’t much selection and I was charged for RM1.40 per plate. I thought Taiping should be an affordable place to have food. Reached KL in the noon time. Later in the evening, Tim wanted to sit the train. Parked at MidValley and took train to KLCC. By the way MidValley charge only RM1 for parking per entry. KLCC charged by hour. We made a big mistake of doing that. Why? Because lots of people returning using Komuter. All the machines didn’t want to accept notes. There was an extremely long queue at the ticket counters. Fortunately, a good soul helped me to get tickets. The train came late. Worst of all, people didn’t want to move into the train. It was difficult to push a stroller into a crowd. The LRT was much better. KLCC night view of the fountain was beautiful.
CNY Eve: Started the morning with breakfast with my brother. We had dim sum again. It was far better than the one in Taiping. Later, went to Kidzports to meet some mothers and let the children have some fun. Forgetful mummy forgot to bring socks for them.
Later in the evening, our family had a scrumptious reunion dinner. After which my sister who loves gambling, played mahjong with mum and dad. Obviously she was the “Choy Sun Yeah” (Prosperity God) for that night. For me, I quit gambling long time ago. It is pretty hard being born into a family who gambles. Anyway, with God, nothing is impossible.1st Day: Had early breakfast in McDonalds that was the only place that opened near my house. Relatives came in the afternoon, very “lau juak” (happening). Lots of catching up with my relatives. As usual gambling started again. Mainly they played mahjong. Let’s hope, they don’t get caught, else will have new hair style. Dropped by my hubby’s aunty’s place to collect something for his mother. Aunty gave Emily angpow, she took it. Later aunty gave Emily chocolate, she gave her back the angpow and took the chocolate. :wall: With Emily, it is all about FOOD.
I took my family to the Curve & Ikano. Wow, that place sure has lots of good place to eat. I did a super fast 15 mins scroll in Ikea as my hubby watched over the children as they were playing with the play house outside Ikea. I got a blue curtain, a toilet roll rail and 2 red boxes in 15 minutes.
2nd Day: Early morning drive back to Penang to avoid traffic jams, we started the journey at 8am. There were lots of cars on the road but no traffic jams. Children slept all the way back, which was good so mummy can rest too. We reached home at 1pm, had lunch and unpacked. Daddy and Emily took a nap. Amazing that Emily still can sleep since she slept through the journey.
In the evening, we went to my parent in law place for dinner. PIL burned some light fire cracker, just to increase the CNY mood.
3rd Day: Morning, we went to my in laws relatives place for CNY visitations. It was customary to pay respect by visiting them. It was a quick visit as my son was anxious to watch lion dance in one of the mall. My nephew bought his own toy lion dance there. He performed with Tim in front of the actual lion dance performance, with drums et. al. At the end of the day, mummy went to buy one for Tim to play.
4th Day: Back To Work. 8th Day: Firecrackers heard all night. 10th Day: Prosperous Day!!! Published on February 7, 2006 · Filed under: Parenting;
