Hi Everyone,
Just popping by here to give a quick Gong Xi Fa Cai to all of you. May you all have good wealth and health in the year of the Goat.
Let me give you a quick update on how New Year’s Eve was like for me yesterday. Lunch was with my in-laws (Shorty’s family). Our initial plan was to go to Tim Ho Wan for lunch but upon getting there we realized that they already closed for New Year. Everywhere else in MIdvalley was full. I couldn’t believe the lines. I guess we were wrong to assume that the malls would be empty by Chinese New Year Eve since most people would have gone back to their hometowns.
So we ended up in Thai Thai.
Here’s Fighter patiently waiting for me to feed him.
And here’s him being very happy with mommy.
This year is a quiet year for us because it’s the first Chinese New Year in a very long time (or maybe ever) that we’re not going back to Penang. We can’t go back this year because Shorty is on close observation for her pregnancy now… in case the pre-eclampsia comes back so we have to stay in KL where our doctor is.
Still the good thing is that a number of my Tiah relatives are based in KL and so is my grandma. So we could join them for a reunion dinner last night.
A reunion dinner in which Fighter was busy making phone calls with my grandma’s TV remotes. Heh.
Anyway I’ve gotta go visiting Shorty’s grandma now for the new year. I’m sure all of you guys must be busy doing the same. Visiting relatives and then friends.
Happy Chinese New Year guys!
Oh and Fighter says Gong Xi Fa Cai too.
I tried teaching him to do the “Gong Xi Gong Xi” hand gesture but every time I say the words “Gong Xi Gong Xi” he flips and laughs. Haha maybe next year.
