CNY eve

This is first time I am exposing the kids to firecrackers and “pop pop” during CNY. We never thought of getting the kids all these thing until Angeline told me she’s looking for pop pop for Evan. I saw a stall selling all these CNY firecrackers nearby my house and I offered to get her some since she has hard time finding it. At the same time, I decided to get some for Kelvin and Kaitlyn.

On CNY eve, after reunion dinner, we rest for a while then went to the backyard and play with the kids. 2 of them a bit scared when we introduced pop pop to them. And they even more scared when we introduced fire crackers to them, LOL! But I keep asking them to hold on the firecrackers and have a feel of holding it, ** I am so bad huh** and after a while, since we see the 2 kids don’t seems enjoy the fire crackers, so we decided to circle the plants and light up the fire crackers.

Both kids enjoy playing the "pop pop" and they even try to step on it instead of throwing it on the floor. We have lots of fun and i enjoy seeing them playing and experiencing CNY atmosphere. This is what i usually will do when i was small, playing with cousins during CNY eve and stay late as old wives tales said, by doing so, your parents will have longevity life.

Let's Party!

We are being invited to attend Sean’s big one at Hardwick House - BBQ and buffet Restaurant. On the day, we let mei mei take a short morning nap and wake her up around 1130am and we all set to go for the party!

We arrived the restaurant close to 1230pm and mummy thought we are late, however, when daddy parked the car, I saw Aunty Angeline’s car coming in. Means, we are the only guests that are late.

Aunty Wooi Sin is so thoughtful. She had a special arrangement for parents with kids. We are being seated at first floors with bigger space for kids to run around. As soon as we step into the dining area, you were attracted by the balloons. We sat together with aunty Angeline, uncle Ben and Evan. Mummy quickly get you some food before you get carried away by the balloons. I saw spaghetti on the buffet line and quickly get some for you as you love spagetthi very very very very much. And to my surprise, mei mei also learn how to eat spaghetti on that day! Another milestone for her! Big clap, Kaitlyn!

All of us enjoyed our food. Aunty Wooi Sin also engaged with a clown for the party. We being told to be there early so that all kids being fully fed before the clown come. LOL! As soon as the clown step into the dining area, she’s the central of attention for all kids. All kids rushed to her asking for this and that balloons. You asked for sword and Kaitlyn has a flower balloon. You were half fed and you kept back and forth for your food. Well, as long as you are eating, then I am ok, because I know I can’t kept you seated on the chair with so many kids running around. And furthermore, you have your dear little sister to run around with you.

At last, it’s time for cake cutting. The poor little birthday boy cried for a while when aunty Wooi Sin want to carry him. Maybe he’s exhausted greeting so many aunties, uncles, k ekes, jie jies. But very fast, little Sean boy turn to smiling face and happily let aunty Wooi Sin carried him and enjoy the birthday song from all of us. So, after eating birthday cake, what’s next? Time to go home as it’s about nap time for both of you and mummy needs to go for aerobic class with aunty Angeline at 4pm. Need to work out after eating.
