All About Your Child

This morning, the kids were in their Chinese New Year (CNY)’s clothes from previous 2 years.

Keatkeat was wearing his 2008’s and Binbin was wearing his brother’s 2007’s.

The kids were told to bring Mandarin Oranges to greet their teachers “Happy Chinese New Year”.

See how much they have grown… look at the pants. Allan and I were even joking about it, saying that their pants looked like Michael Jackson’s Pants. *laugh*

They had one hour of fun in school, singing Chinese New Year songs and eating all the goodies with Teachers and friends.

10mins before the hour of fun ended, Binbin’s teacher allowed the parents to join in the fun. Every parent were snapping away with their cameras. So did we. This was just one of the many shots….*wink*

And these were the goodies the boys brought home. Just look at how happy their cute little faces were….Mmmmm…. love them soooooo much!

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

This is what we went through before Chinese New Year arrives on Monday.

Make a lantern to add to the decorations in my Parents-in-law’s house

Enjoy the lovely sights everywhere

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

Decorating our house

(though this year is the Year of the Cow/Ox, we still prefer to stick to our Mickey-Minnie Decorations from last year : Rat-year)

Lots of Shopping

Glorious Food, food, food…

Mandarin Oranges

Barbeque Sliced Pork (my favourite)

Preparing the Hong Bao(s) (Red packets with $$$ in them)

Remembering our Promise : Lion Puppets for the kids

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*
