CNY 2010

This year's CNY has been busier than previous years. The difference is of course with my Angel dearest. We went back on Friday, the weather was extremely hot, I took bath like 4-5 times a day. I officially took over the role of babysitting from my MIL as she is busy preparing for CNY eve and also to pray the ancestors.
This year is extra special as we experienced power failure on Sat and Sun evening. The weather is already extremely hot, yet we need to face such an incident. I was so worried for my little Angel. Hubby bring us to Giant hypermarket on Sat. And on Sun, I just brought the baby to the opposite house.
Angel received alot of ang pau this year....somehow our investment pays off. Ha ha ha, not too bad, can get back some right at the second year of CNY after marriage. Relatives surely did ask me when to have my second one, I just said, Oh no, not in the near future......must wait for Angel to stable down first.
Second day of CNY - We took the trip down Bidor before going back to Taiping. Visiting my foster parents in Bidor is a must-do task each CNY. My foster mum was so happy to welcome us especially Angel. She was not here when I delivered Angel. She gave us three ang pau and also bought Angel a set of Disney baby wear. Big thank you to her. The thing that amazed me was Angel laughed out loud while looking at her. And she kept on laughing non stop. Her signature smile often melted our hearts.
Because of some 'technical' problems which is not to be mentioned here, we managed to reach Taiping at 9.30pm. Theng and family already reached and had a round of steamboat with Mummy, Papa, Ywoon and Jason. Everyone smiling cheerfully to welcome my Angel back home. It is her first visit, I wasn't sure how will Angel reacts. It was ok gradually, they all took turn to carry her.
Third day of CNY - We made a trip up to Penang. Bro-in-law wanted to visit and makan makan before returning back to Bangkok. Everyone of us, with empty stomach drove up Penang, meet his friend and had our brunch at Penang Street. Each one of us had a bowl of Laksa and a bowl of Cendol. The Cendol was good, but the Laksa so-so only. The Fried Carrot Cake was not too bad also. It was only a short trip there, where we head to our next destination, Bukit Tambun. My cousin, Aunty Suan lives there. Uncle Patrick and family were there too, so it is another gathering for us there.

Aunty Suan and family live in a bungalow and her husband had made a KTV room where we shout our hearts out singing the karaoke songs while enjoying Chinese tea....For the first time, everyone including the three babies, mine and sis's little two enjoyed the day there. We took family photos there:-

I spent my fourth and fifth day in Taiping, at home most of the time. Angel was enjoying her days there and slept well, THANKS KUAN YIN MA! I left Taiping on Thurs afternoon, I do not know when is my next trip back to Taiping again. Miss home in fact.
Overall, my CNY this year is all about my family and my Angel. I know it is pretty much a quiet CNY in town, but to me, I value my days spent with my family and my little girl.
