GONG XI FA CAI
Chinese New Year! The year of the Ox! We have the norms every year, reunion dinner, more dinners and house visiting, party and more parties. The happiest person has to be Chloe cos she gets to snack on all the keropoks, snacks and all sorts of cakes and cookies. Strange thing is she hates the 'ang pow' this year, so I pocket it all. Ha! :)
Raphael all dressed up and ready to go for his reunion dinner and since he is not getting any yummy Chinese food later, he shall make do by sucking his fingers this year.
'Trust me, this is better than your lo-hei and abalone.' 
Waiting for the lo-hei. Chloe looooves the lo-hei, tossing and throw, this is the one time you get to mess with your food, the messier, the better. She ate 3 plates minus the raw salmon.
Very happy with the lo-hei and waiting patiently for the next dish to be served.
Taking a break
All done with dinner! Yum!
Cheeky girl going 'Don't take my picture!'
Off to grandma's place, deck out in their Chinese 'dresses'. This pink cheongsam is from last year and it fits her better this time but the buttons are falling off due to her tugging. Raphael is the angel here who lets me dressed him up without any fuss, simply because he is still too young to protest. The pink cheongsam lasted only after this picture because she complained that 'it's itchy', the collar is too high. Ok, that is the beginning of my wardrobe nightmare.Red cheongsam? 'NO! I don't want to wear this.'
White dress? 'Nope!'
Spaghetti strap smocked dress? Oops too loose.
I was about to let her go out naked with she finally settled for the 5th piece. Gosh! She's 2 and I have to negotiate and raid the wardrobe to get her into something without her ripping it off the next minute. I need a shower by the time she is decently dressed.
The sundress that saves the day and my sanity
On the third day, we went over to Jenann and Ronnie's place. Raphael making himself at home on the couch while Chloe played with her friends.
