Another year of celebration, this year the children didn't have a week long holiday but the good thing is they didn't need to do Saturday school replacements. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Definitely like holidays but if need to have Saturday school replacement, might as well we don't have holiday for all the trouble it gives.
This year, 大姑 and family came to our home for CNY celebration. 爸爸 cooked a simple dinner for 除夕CNY eve dinner :)
After dinner, we had a celebration for the January kids in the family.

On the first day of CNY, it's the usual visiting relatives round for my side of the family. Then, it was dinner at Straits Quay and 拜拜 at 玄母殿.

See the beautiful lights at 玄母殿 floating temple during CNY :) Kek Lok Si Temple is always so crowded, so alternatively we came to 玄母殿 floating temple.

On the second day of CNY, 大姑 cooked a delicious lunch for us. We also had 捞生 at home, with a takeaway pack from Sakae Sushi.
School reopens on the 5th day of CNY. The children get to wear traditional costume or new clothes to school. They get an ang pao each from school PIBG. Before CNY holidays, they were given a mandarin orange each.
