It has been almost 3 years since we last saw Dax, my makeup artist for my wedding! He has been busy with his work, traveling for the past year. Well we are glad that he still remembers us and called us up to meet :)
We had a meal over at Bugis Junction, a Japanese cafe, the exact same spot where we met him almost 4 years back. He did not change much while we did hehe..
Hope to see you soon Dax!
After the dinner, Kyrell and I left for Marina Bay to meet my parents and sis, we were planning to go for the annual carnival set up for the Lunar New Year, sorry guys, dunno what it is called in English haha... anyway, there were stage put up for performances, mainly singing. Rolls of food stalls selling delicacies from both local and China. Hmm.. and what else is there? The 12 zodiac animals in brilliant lights, at the bottom, it is written the charactistic of that particular animal and the fortune of the coming year 2009. Thousands of people were there to grace the event, take photos, try the food out or just to hang out with families/friends.

1st Day of Lunar New Year
Lunar New Year is always a busy day for us because we have a few places to visit.
The 1st stop will be at my deceased Dua Pek's house, where all the families from my father's household will gather. My Dua Pek's place is just at opposite block of my parents (Hougang) so its really near my house. Usually we will stay for about 2 hours there, have our vegetarian lunch (prepared by my Dua Um and cousins), chit chat then leave for another place.
This year, its the same. We left to pay respect to hubby's deceased father (my FIL) and grandmother whom I have never met. The location is at Balestier and Mount Vernon.
Thereafter, we returned to my parents' place to pick up my parents and sis then went to my maternal grandma's place at Stirling Rd. Cousin Rene and family were also there. Its been awhile since I last saw them and bb Amelda has grown so big!
By the time its evening, we were leaving for another place (last stop!), my 2nd maternal grandma who stays at Ang Mo Kio. My bro and family did not come along because the last year we went, there will smokers in the house and they do not want to take the 'risk' of exposing Xu En in that. Well, it happened again this year so we only stayed for half hr there. My sis and I left for Kovan to buy some dinner (KFC yum yum) back home while my parents stayed on (mahjong).
Its really tiring rushing to so many different places, and with a kiddo in tow, its double the tiredness, carrying Kyrell since he cannot walk yet, not that I am complaining :)
With his fav Jiu Jiu, dancing again wahahaa....
The power of RED!!
With almost all of my cousins, sorry the pix is so blur!
The aunts and uncles
My parents with their baobei!
My sis with nephew Xu En
With my sis and 2 little baobei. Kyrell is so tired already wor~
