CNY Gatherings

Today is a busy visiting day as CNY is almost coming to a close. After mass today, we rushed to the first stop – Jessie’s place for luncheon. When we arrived, many of her relatives were already there and my two close buddies too.

It was one of the gathering venues for all of us yearly but this year, it was rather different as Jessie told us that there will be something special awaits us… after luncheon, while chilling out, she came to us and get us to stand by for the ‘God of Fortune’!

I was really excited to check it out and when I saw the ‘God of Fortune’, I was too afraid to be close to him… he has a very thick make-up and everyone had to make way for him as he blessed the house. After he blessed the house, he signalled the family members to gather round the dinning table for the tossing of Yu Sheng! The interesting part was… he did not even speak a word… only signal what to do. After that, he distributed ang pow with 4D numbers to everyone in the house… (not sure will strike or not!) However, it was indeed a good experience!



We set off to Mummy Florence’s place after the interesting party at Jessie’s place and when we arrived at mummy Flo’s place, some of my friends had already arrived and playing mahjong in the room.

While waiting for the late comers, I took some food for Faith to keep her settled as she was trying to grab all the CNY goodies from the coffee table. Though Yoshiko’s daughter was around and wanting to play with her, Faith was too shy to respond… Sighz…









Hubby went to join them for a game of mahjong while I took care of Faith which was quite a headache! The only few minutes that she was still was when she was drinking her milk! After hubby’s game, we left for home…

Thank you Jessie & Mummy Florence for having us today! Gong Xi Fa Cai again!
