2009 CNY Uni Gathering

03 February 2009

This is my first time going for uni (grp2) gathering. Couldn't make it for the past few rounds.

2009 CNY Day 7

DH's brother gave us a Raffles Hotels & Resorts card together with a meal for 2 some time back. Decided to use it before it expire, had our dinner at Plaza Market Cafe. They have more asian dishes compare to others which we feel is more suitable for us since both of us does not like the fresh stuff.

Headed to the Singapore River Hangbao for a walk after the heavy dinner.

2009 CNY Day 6

This year we are back at Cindy's house as it's more convenient for her as she doesn't have a car. The group enjoying the home-make jelly. Trice was happy playing with uncle Jason.

Diana, why did Trice kiss your hubby huh?
Jason, Trice has pick up a bad thing from you. The other day she placed her snack into her clothes.

2009 CNY Day 5

Warren on Trice's stroller.


Has always been wanting to bring Trice to the zoo or was it me that want to go? Can't remember the last time I step inside the zoo, probably during my poly time together with my cousins? Anyway, at last I make it to the zoo.

A nice short trip. Since it was with my parents, didn't want to make them walk too much so we bought the tickets for the tram. We were actually busy catching show after show, didn't really walk around at all. Make our way to the rainforest kidzworld for the water play after lunch. And that conclude the trip; 6 hour in the zoo.






Went home for a rest and headed to my boss place for dinner. This year it was Megan's house. She cooked peng cai, lu ya, kong ba bao etc for us. DH didn't get to enjoy as he only eats white meat, all he has for dinner was broccoli & prawn.

2009 CNY Day 4

My office is closed for a week. Wanna spend some time with Trice before she starts school next week, wanna bring her out for some fun. Brought Trice to Hort Park.

FL, this is the dress that you bought for Trice for her 1 year old. It has now becomes a top. :)

2009 CNY Day 3

JX & Dawn invited the CGs to their place for CNY. The children had great fun playing while the adults had a good time catching up.

In the early afternoon, we went to J8 to get some stuff. While walking around Popular bookstore, Trice kept saying, "I am a princess!" ~faint~

2009 CNY Day 2

Day 2 is usually a visit to my uncle's place and for the rest of the day, we'll just hang around at my mum's place waiting for the relatives to come.



Took this when we were resting after the cleaning up.

2009 CNY Day 1

This year our theme is Mickey & Minnie Mouse! ;-p

Bought these from Disney online store few months back. Quite a good buy I think, each top cost us less than S$10. Same as last year, visitation were packed back-to-back.


We were a little worry that Trice might open the hangbao given to her in front of the relatives. We had been reminding her few days ago that she cannot open the hangbao and she need to hand it to mummy to keep it for her. And she has been good. She will even ask "mummy, where are you?" if mummy is not within her sight. :)

Early morning, while we were busy trying to get out of the house for visitation, Trice was busy getting herself ready too. We were surprised she was wearing socks together with her shoes and she managed to find a pair of new socks. The norm practice is just put on her shoes and off she goes.

2009 Reunion Dinner with my In-Laws

The usual reunion dinner on eve on CNY. This year we went back to Qiang Xi for the dinner. Trice has the stage to her own when the dinner ended. DH bought this silk dress from Shanghai airport during his last business trip, cost him S$50 and last Trice for just a dinner! See the way Trice had fun on the stage, the side of the dress was torn at the end of it. :(

I noticed Trice likes to eat prawn, just like mummy.

After dinner, we went to Goodwood Florist to get a small pot of flower to brighten up the living room.

Chinatown on Eve CNY 2009

Early morning, we make our way to Chinatown for McDonald breakfast and wanting to bring Trice to look around at the stalls and decoration at chinatown.

Weight

I had shared previously that one of the goal in 2008 is to get back to shape. I didn't make it to my pre-wedding weight. 2008 has come to an end, I had lost 9kg in total. A yes & no disappointment. Yes, that I am 1 size down. No, that I didn't hit my goal, I was not diligent for the last 2 months.

Another round of trimming in 2009? Yes, will start after CNY. To trim to my healthy BMI unless you hear some news from me along the way.

2009 Reunion Lunch with My Family

Saturday was my brother's last off day before CNY. We had reunion lunch as I had my company dinner at night. Just a few photos cos Trice was tired. But we do have a big spread of food. Started with shark fin soup, follow by yusheng and an overflowing steamboat.




Bought this online for Trice for less than US$10.
