Happy Chinese New Year!

Today's the first day of the Lunar New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

This Chinese New Year has been extra special for G and me. It's our first time celebrating as husband and wife! This meant two new things for us. Firstly, I joined in the reunion dinner with the Pangs and we actually played mahjong till past midnight! Secondly, it was our first time giving out Ang baos! Thank goodness it wasn't that hard to plan and organize the red packets =D

G and I also did a bit of DIY decorating for this CNY. Not for our home, but for his boys at school haha. Inspired by what I saw at mum's, I helped G to make a few Snakes using red packets. It was so much fun to do!

Back to today, I was soo happy and glad to be back home for lunch! To see mama, mummy, daddy, boy, sis and all my aunts + uncles + cousins. And Sherie! Felt a great sense of familiarity and closeness that was so comforting. I guess this is what you call family bonds. Something that can never be taken away from you. I love my family soooo much! The lunch really felt like a reunion to me. I felt at home!

Dinner was at tampines home! G helped mum to cook veggies and prawns for dinner. I'm proud to say that my hubba succeeded in his attempts! The dishes turned out pretty awesome! Dad's side relatives visited so we were busy preparing food and entertaining.

It's been a tiring but festive day! Here are some snapshots!
