Hey Merry Rabbit or Bunny Year everyone! *goshhh, you're late* No I am not! It's still not over yet, the last day of Chinese New Year, Chap Goh Meh is on the 17th this month. ;) and and I will be celebrating that day in Aussie!
Had our CNY eve reunion dinner with paternal family in Cheras three days (31st Jan) earlier cause of the school holidays before CNY. I talked a lot this year, I mean compared to previous years, I think it's cause I grew up! Didn't get to capture any photos of our meal, everyone was busy eating, hungryyy!

Headed to Kuala Rompin, mom's hometown the next morning. I woke up at 4.30am and that explained my heavy eye bags.. =|
Lepak around uncle's shop, no not lepak, I was looking after the shop. Yeahh I am a great helper since I was young, I guess that's why I am so good with numbers ;) But something I don't like is 99% of my sales are cigarettes! Heeeez, hey people, why do you like to smoke that much!?!?!? Younger cousins came and gave me company, they danced, sang and we laughed! <3
Okay, I had 3 reunion dinner this year? First was in Cheras, second & third were both in Rompin.
Reunion dinner in Rompin is kinda of standard. We have steamboat every year! We have the best fish and prawns! That's actually why I don't really eat fish & prawns outside, cause they aren't as sweet as my hometown's !
So on the 1st Feb, had reunion dinner before youngest aunt & family & youngest uncle & family head to Kuantan & Malacca the next day. We had home cooked shark fins soup! Grandma is the best! But we didn't have salty vege duck soup this year! Sad! But it's okayyyy, see the faces of joy having shark fins soup!

During the steamboat session, if you're someone who slows people few beats, you won't get any food to eat, you have to wait for the next round. I just realise no one ever captured that moment, I guess everyone was busy snatching food! hahahha! But this year I was so kind that I captured down this scene =)
Eat, Drink, Laugh. Routine during the dinner! <3
My title explains all. When you're not married, you get angpows, and yeah you will be happy! ;) Look at them!!!
After makan it's cleaning session. We used to have a maid to help us, but this time we had to do it ourselves. I am kinda excited, when all cousins come together get the mess cleaned up! <3

Nothing much happening on CNY eve & 1st day of CNY. weird much? ;) Cause we celebrated early, so it was kinda quiet that few days. My cousins and I were watching Secret Garden. They were telling me it's nice it's nice, so I was like okayyy, since I have nothing to do I will give it a try.Other than my cousin brother & I, the others watched the drama for more than twice! Basically I was watching drama the whole 2 days.. I felt so lifeless!
2nd day of CNY (4th Feb), was invited to my distanced relative's CNY open house in Kuantan. I am close with the relatives there, cause I always followed my youngest aunt there for a stay when I was young. This year's visit, most of them went " woah, so big girl already! " Ha, have not met them for like years!!
ps. I drove from Rompin to Kuantan!! =)

now I have to be his junior in college when I register in during March!

After the open house, we went to Teluk Cempedak Beach. Beach is something common to me, cause there's a beach in Rompin, but it's not as nice as those tourist beaches. What else can we do at the beach? Photo shooting yeah!
