CNY, almost complete

It has been a great break, despite the fact that I had to rush for submission on the eve. Another festive about thanksgiving, and love. I totally love the times spent with my families, many many cousins, frm all over, some of whom I hadnt seen for over a year now. It's a blessing that all of us can come together again under one roof. Like Elaine said, it's great that the tradition is being upheld.

7 families frm my dad's side, 5 familes frm my mom's side, my godmummy's, babysitter's, and then friends, friends, friends.

I shall pen it down before my memories fail me ;p

I was welcomed back to Penang by the wonderful creation of God :) It's captured at about 7.20am by the Juru tol which I alighted frm the coach back to Penang. Almost forgot that Penang can be that beautiful ey.
My first get-together, it's with my ex-classmates back in high school. We get together once a year, and this year, we've broken the record with an amazing attendance of 26/30. Certainly hope that it'll be even greater for the years to come.7 girls got together for the first time after 3 years. I'm glad that we are back in touch with Ruying especially.
My brother and sister got back frm KL on the eve. It's been a while since we visited my dad's gravesite. Was gonna go during Christmas but didnt make it. So yea ;)My lovely little brother, the little rascal in the family
We always go watch a movie together with the cousins during Chinese New Year. We watched CJ 7 last year, and this year, we watched Red Cliff 2. It's a good movie, but it was a stressful movie for me. Because every scene in the movie reminds me of a project that I have to do for one of the modules that I'm taking, it's about special effects. Haha!
So this is my cousin (on the left) who looks so much like my elder brother! Both of them are of the same age, and we always thought that they were twins. Hehe ;p
I teach the 3 kids to have fun too :DMy little cousin whom I love a lot ;)We visited our babysitter's family too. I always get nagged for not visiting them more often. Hehe ;p They've got a new addition to the family - Miko. She's so cute!! Argh....This is the way Miko can sit, which in my opinion, this is stand. Isnt she adorable?! Haha. We have so much fun playing with her ;pApart frm visiting all other cousins, we get together on the 2nd day evening as we would do every year. Fat is nice enough to have us again this year. I was really upset initially because I was gonna head back to Singapore on the 2nd night, which means I would miss this reunion. But thank God the lecturers cancelled the classes on Wednesday, so I got to stay at home for one more day!
I havent seen Jason and Kammei for like 5 years now! It's incredible. We had a great time catching up and we learnt a fair bit about mahjong too. Hehe ;p How precious is this friendship ey, we came from different classes, and bodies. A few of us were frm the prefectorial board, some were monitors, etc. The one thing we have in common is, we are all great people ;p
It's always about the girls, lol.It's taken frm Mingming and Shushen's house. Yea, visited them before I left for Singapore. It's great seeing them even though I saw them not too long ago ;p We always look forward to seeing each other again, just too much to share with each other. Hehe ^^
Blessed Chinese New Year!
