Bye Chinese New Year 2009

By the time i am writing this post now, it is already one day past Chap Goh Meh, the 15th day of Chinese New Year. Well, this truly is the most exciting and loved Chinese New Year celebration in recent years (forgotten bout the celebration when i was small, hehe). Well, this years celebration is kinda different as I am back from Tasmania to celebrate with my family. Everyone seems to be happy bout it I guess. Haha.

30th Night

Well, the Chinese New Year has already started for me one night before the official Chinese New Year. We were having steamboat at home to eat with my aunts, and cousins. We were all quite enjoyed that night, although i need to help cleaning, I don't really mind. Haha. After steamboat, we soon cleaned up all and then went to Chinese New Year chanting at a temple. We arrived around 11 o'clock, which the chanting has already started awhile, we soon continued and the chanting ended around 1am. So, it's already Chinese New Year. Soon, we went home and then went to few temples and pray.

1st Day
Woke up around 8 something and already have to queue up to use the bathroom. Haha. Soon, uncles and relatives all arrived at my house. Then after awhile at my home, we soon go to my 4th Granduncle's house. Opposite Lam Wah Ee Hospital. After pai nee awhile, then we go to another relatives house, another granduncle and grandaunt. After that, we went to 1st aunt house. She's having some illness, so she can't go around to pai nee too much. So, we went to her house and eat all the stuff. Haha.

After that, in the afternoon, i went to my god-bro's house and eat steamboat. Get quite a big angpow from her mother. Hehe. After eating, we have several friends there too, so we chatted and drink. After awhile in the evening, i soon returned to home and then found out that kinda alot of ppl at my home. Haha. So, i have to help serve them, lol. Soon, at night we went back to aunt house and play some firecrackers.

After that, we went to play games & snookers and then gambling. Haha. Too bad, no pictures were taken during that time.

But never the less, we soon arrived in Jasmine's house and then pai nee with her mother. Haha. After awhile, we moved to another location and went Tze Hau's to pai nee and play mahjong. I lost quite badly, never won a game at all. And then, after Tze Hau's house, we went to eat some dinner before proceed to another friends house. It's a very big house. Even got big fish pond and Karaoke room. Haha. After that, we soon leave there around 10 something and then arrived at Penang around 11 something.
