The LU sisters came to say hi
Oh Sat night, another day of partying. mama's sisters and brother in laws came over!
san yi zhang loved the massage chair, so he was in it whenever there was an opportunity
the showy xun was always willing to perform on the piano for any guests
san yi loved the double decker bed. well, she slept in one for many years, er yi and xiao yi slept on the lower levels while san yi and I were on the upper levels. Orrr, i recalled all those bonding nights when we would talk in the dark...and er yi would always be the first one to drift off to sleep
san yi found it so comfy to be all snuggled up with xun and tong
er yi zhang always came up with funny games to entertain xun and tong
in this game, tong would put his head through the hole in the bottom curtain. Xun used that green flap to toss the ball to er yi zhang, who would aim the ball at tong. ha...hilarious.
tong loved little baby you you, always cooing to him when he saw him. Yay, you you could walk really well now, soon, he would learn to talk, before we knew it, you three would be wrecking havoc together.
xun commanded every one to come for her "happy happy CNY" song and dance item. She would slap the bendy ribbon onto the guest's wrist and only allowed two pax at one time.
food galore, where else, but from our trusty tian jia fu downstairs.
san yi was soooo sweet, prepared fruit choc fondue for us! Painstakingly, she would heat up and stir the chocolate bits using the small flame from the candle, very yummy chocolate indeed
did you know that eating marshmallows could help ameliorate your sore throats? ha...coz of some chemical compounds present in the marshmallows.
Wai gong and wai po left early. We started playing MJ as usual.
then the finale, celebrating er yi zhang's birthday! oh...but you you and er yi were already sound asleep in our bedrooms. hahaa
looked as if you were his children...well...I wished we would always remain so knitted, you and your cousins to be as united in hearts as siblings.
We dismissed rather early, like slightly past midnight? Ha, definitely not as energetic as before, when we could play through the night. You two little ones were exhausted but you could never resist staying up for a jolly party. oh well...part 2 tomorrow.
PAPA's colleagues from Sembcorp
so...papa hesitated inviting his colleagues as he was not too sure if our house could accommodate that many people, mama encouraged him to just do it, so...here they were, on a blistering Sunday.
auntie Jasmine played "Guess the criminal" with xun for quite a long while. She commended xun for speaking really eloquently and wondered which enrichment programmes she attended. ha.
oh ya, that day, Isabelle's mummy asked about jie's previous school. i told her that xun only started schooling this year. I thought Isabelle and Minxuan's mums could have discussed about Xun before, they commented how mature and sociable xun was.
ah....really a table laden with food. Aunt Jasmine got her maid to cook a big tub of noodles, someone brought a whole tray of sushi and yu sheng, papa bought the yummy food from tian jia fu again. The guests liked the salted yolk chicken. Hmmm I did not particularly love it, san yi did think it was great too.
ah, some guests came earlier to play MJ. after that, the rest started playing cards.
at one point, tong got restless and asked to go scootering. Hence, we sauntered to Plaza to buy a cup of Gong Cha.
When we came back, we espied this lalang patch and tong was so thrilled. He exclaimed that he needed to pick one for his darling jie jie.
meanwhile, besides playing poker...seemed like the adults started playing with tong's toys. ha
and mama came back just in time to help them take a pretty group photo. Ha, papa almost had to use the selfie stick, eh we received a few as christmas presents, but mama hardly thought it was useful.
wow....a most tiring day of celebration. mama went to church with jie while the boys went to snooze at Marzuki.
As I wrote this, CNY was officially over. I wondered if we would have another little one to celebrate CNY with us next year? mama wished for a meaningful year ahead for us, so inspired by the book "The conscious Parent", let us grow in knowing ourselves and the Lord more intimately this year. Love you loads.
