Every year, I spend my CNY days in Malaysia, because that's my parents' hometown and I'm Malaysian anyway. Well, every year, it's the same old routine, but different in its own way. ;)
On New Year's Eve, everyone'll sit in the small 'courtyard' in my grandfather's house and have reunion dinner. Only starting from last year, my grandfather ordered catered food. All the previous years, I remember my aunts and mother busy cooking (in the really small kitchen)the dishes they cook best for the reunion dinner. :)
Well, this year, there was a new addition to the family - Baby Mia, my cousin's 2.5-month-old daughter. Oh she was so adorable! :D I played with her a lot, carried her around (my mum was not confident of me carrying babies but at least my cousin was, haha). And yes, my mum said I was so cool and composed when carrying the baby. -.- Like it's no big deal, I thought...
Then of course, we go to the Chinese church (I survived!) on the 1st day of CNY. And during the night, it becomes really noisy as all the neighbours are playing with firecrackers!
This year, it wasn't as noisy since it rained in the night and you know, people would run for shelter and leave the firecrackers... haha! It's always very fun to return to the small town where my grandparents live, and escape the bustling city life and homework in Singapore. It's also always wonderful to see my dear cousins! :D
Yay, now I'm off to my cousin's house for dinner!
Signing off,
