Just like any other years, we proceed to Ayer Hitam for lunch with the 2 kids. Although we lost Grandma and 2nd Uncle last year but the CNY gathering was still called for, the only thing is no Ang Bao giving. I guessed since we do not know long we can keep the old house, the uncles and aunties thus decided on continuing CNY gathering.
The atmosphere is definitely different since Grandma was not around. There is no one to keep urging me for lunch the moment i Stepped in, making sure that I get to eat the first round of steamboat, getting cold drinks for me knowing that I can't stand the heat, asking me about my Dad, etc. Everyone is trying very hard to look and behave normally but it is definitely not natural.
Zhiyi, Kelly and Kerryn.
Fifth Aunty and us.
Lihui + Aden, Mummy + Kerryn, Lijuan + Hibert.
Mummy and cutey Kerryn.
3 pretty cousins.
Kerryn fell asleep on Li Chin.
While Kerryn was soundly asleep, Kelly enjoyed herself by running in and out of the room, examined the wooden planks used as wall, wooden windows, wooden doors and the rusty lock curiously. Everything was just so old and rustic, making it worth to put each and every inch into pictures for keepsake.
Kelly and her curiousity!
