What is Chinese New Year like?

Child, others

Buckled up! This is a super-photoSsss post….

I could have showed you a few more photos with my boys in them, but those photos were in Allan’s previous phone, which has been traded-in for his new Song Ericsson W902, few days ago, remember? I don’t have a memory-card reader to extract the photos kept in it. *sigh*

Or you can see more over on Uniquely Singapore

Enjoy lots of Dragon and Lion Dances

Getting New Clothes and Bed Sheets for kids and Shoes for me

(Didn’t ‘follow’ the tradition of getting a COMPLETELY New Outfit : from head to toe, this year. It is believed that ‘Everything’ that ‘touches’ or ‘worn’ on the body must be new : symbolizes a New Beginning ~ Fresh Start to everything)

Chinese New Year is just 3 days away… I’m glad we prepared the above much earlier this year…. it feels so relax to be free from last minute preparations and the ‘last-minute-crowds’…. just lazing around as we wait for the 15-days-long of celebration to come.

This year’s CNY post is so much shorter than last year’s. I guess I’m becoming lazier less ‘long-winded’…*laugh*

I Received A Surprise!

others, Special Moments

I wanted to post Keatkeat’s latest eating issues… but I received a present this morning and between something that brings down the mood and something that lifts the spirit, the choice is obvious!

I should post this on my personal blog, cos’ it appears as if this has NOTHING to do with Children. But hey, wrong wrong wrong…. if it wasn’t because of this blog, I wouldn’t have received this gift. *wink* So it would be an injustice to post this somewhere else….

This probably arrived yesterday but I didn’t open my letterbox till this morning…

For a Chocolate-Crazy person like me, this is like accepting a Million dollar lottery prize.

Go see this amazing Mommy whose son can COOK at the age of 4! Go see this wonderful lady whose heart is like gold!

I’m glad the box was still in good condition and the chocolates DIDN’T MELT! *LAUGH*

THANK YOU Rachel! I love the taste…. its amazing! *Muack*x1000
