Self-cooked Meals

Well, I am the only one to cook for the family every Chinese New Year. As usual, I had prepared myself by marketing for foodstuffs especially the vegetables, chicken and pork. My husband bought fish and prawns for me.

I didn't go to work on the CNY eve as I needed to get ready for our reunion lunch. By the time my husband and kids came back from the shop, it was almost 4pm. I had already prepared the lunch.

CNY reunion lunch dishes

At 8pm, I just had reunion dinner with my kids as my husband was out.
After the dinner, we went for a late night movie.

On the first day of CNY, I prepared noodles for my family. 
It was already 11am.

At 3pm, we had lunch. Their father had gone out after breakfast.

At 8pm, we had our CNY dinner. Their father came back just on time.


Tomorrow is visiting time...

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Twin bananas

Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
