My little girl showing off her new mini 'LeSportSac' bag bought by Daddy.
Dad and Mom was early too. This is what I get at the wet market today. 2/3 of it are from me and another 1/3 from Mom. Emmm.. Mom bought a lot of my and my sis favourites steamboat items.... pork liver and pork kidney and 'si hum' @ cockles.
Dad's 'Wantan' is 1st Class. He make one whole big bowl of minced pork to make wantan filling.My little KPC helping 'Popo' to wrap the wantan and look at her wantan is so UGLY and 'Popo' half way wrapping, half way nagging her cos she keep playing with the wantan skin.
Look at these 2 big babies ( my cousin ) and my ah girl, attack the cupcakes before the party start.
The steamboat party started at 2 pm and while taking pictures guess whose fingers is that ! Kacau me.
These 3 boys .... Do, Re, Mi.... 3 yrs old An-Son ( in orange shirt ), 2 yrs old my Ah Boy and 1 year old Ea-Son ( in red shirt ) playing in Ei-Faye's room and make a total mess in her room.
Clockwise from top let: The half gone cakes, 2 birthday girls with Dad enjoying their slice of cake, even Ea-Son also got his share of cake, Ea-Son with mommy.
What is this ? Dearie Suki came late to Ah Mah's house with a whole big box of roasted pig head and tail. He sponsored a whole roast pig for a temple today. I think they have a prayers at the temple. This is what he brought back. The 'Sifu' also gave him 2 angkus, 2 huat kueh, 1 apple, 1 orange and 2 red eggs. Luckily he is smart to bring it to Ah Mah's house if not how am I going to finish it. Thank god, Mom help me to allocate out the roast pork to my Aunts. Looks like we are going to have more 'Assam Chai' already.
Reach home and get my maid to clean the roast pork and you know what she did ? Already tell her to chop into 3 big pieces and she go and cut into small tiny pieces. Aiyar ... makes my flame burning. Thank god she is going back next month if not I will get HEART ATTACK !

Wah, those are the family gathering that I missed so much. What a happy family you have, Sue. Reading your post make me feel homesick and wanted to move back to Malaysia. :(
CatCat,
I come from a very big family and all my aunts and uncle are friendly and very close one. So when come to this type of gathering I LOVE to be involved. Can KEPOH mah.
Izzit so good to come back to Malaysia? I always wish I can be like you all staying overseas. Here cost of living is so high and work load is like a piece of shit only.
Sue,
I have a BIG family too.. Lots of uncles, aunties, cousins. My dad has 11 siblings and my mom has 16! :O
Most of my uncles and aunties have 4-5 children (my cousins), and they all most married now, so you can imagine all the small/young kids during CNY. We had to order over 10 tables for reunion dinner most of the time.
Pokai on angpows too.
But to me, the more the merrier.
Cost of living in my town is not too high but the only thing that kills me most of the time is missing my family back home.
Sorry for the long comment.
Sue, so 'lau luak'. One big happy family. Like Cat, I really missed those kind of gatherings where all relatives gather together for makan makan. Like Cat, I want to go home :( maybe this year for CNY. Who know we can meet up :)
