15 days of Lunar New Year

We spent the rest of the CNY peacefully and happily..
On 初七, we had dinner and lo-hei at my dad's place. Entire family was there except for mum who needed to work, but it's alright, we saved some for her. :)

Yummy 鱼生 from Imperial Treasure..

Dad preparing.. He can really say all the nice words while adding the condiments!

Alvis' face looked really funny here, but he was definitely not crying. haha

It was a great night of family bonding, plus my first ever blackjack gambling session and lost all I've bet on. Haha.

On a random evening after dinner, brought Alvis baby to the playground for some fun. He's been cooped at home for the longest time.

I really enjoy spending time with him. <3

We also took train to get to town to wait for the daddy to finish work on some evenings..

On 初十一 Sunday, we gathered at Anne's house. :)
We all had a wonderful dinner prepared by Anne's mum including the kiddos and they had fun playing with one another.

Then there was the Valentine's Day. We didn't celebrate this year as Hubby needed to work on that day and honestly there is really no need to celebrate as everyday could be Valentine's Day. :)

I was alone with Alvis at home whole day and only got out to the nearest mall to try my luck to get a card. Grabbed a cake from Swensen's cuz I thought it looked really nice, and wanted to give hubby a surprise when he came home that night. He worked late and still went to packed back Boon Tong Kee supper. Upon him reaching home, I ushered him to shower so I could prepare the cake. Off all the lights, lit the candle and hid in the kitchen. Surprise succeeded. <3

We blew the candle out together, celebrating our 9th Valentine's Day together.

Photobucket

A simple Vday, but filled with lotsa love in the heart. So much you can even feel it and smile silly anytime! :P

****

After a long week at work because of all the lovebirds who had to buy gifts on Vday, Hubby took half day off from work on Tuesday to spend time with me and Alvis. We went to town to wait for him and had lunch at Ambush Taka. It was happy time spent together.

Photobucket

Went to Parkway to repair his damaged iPhone and had dinner at Pu-Tien. Our sorta "last expensive CNY meal" for this year. hur hur..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Very nice duck with yam.

oh, and one more addition to his collection:

Lamborgini Gallardo Superleggera.

I am becoming an expert in cars too. hahah! Ok, no la, still far from it. I think my son is better than me still.

Wednesday was hubby's off day (double yay!!!) and the boys went to have their haircut.

Photobucket

In case you're wondering why there's no picture of Hubby having his haircut, well, they both are picky when it comes to hair. They choose their hairstylists and hubby had his haircut at another salon round the neighborhood. Haha.

Oh ya, they dont patronize "attas" salon, they are happy (very happy indeed) with their neighborhood cuts. (yup, me like their neighborhood cuts too. :P )

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Happy after his haircut because the hairstylist gave him sweet. :D

And then the daddy went to the optical shop, Alvis had his eyes on a pair of sunglasses. -.-"

Photobucket

And there you have it, cool yeah? :P

Photobucket

Nobody taught him to place the shades on his head! haha..

More vain pictures of him and his new shades.

Happy 兔 Year

I have the least photos this CNY.
1. Lazy to use camera
2. Too engrossed with the actual happenings till no time to get my camera outta my bag
3. Alvis' fever came and go and came and go again - no extra energy and mood for camwhoring. (In the first place, I'm not even into camwhoring haha)

Anyway, we had a great Chinese New Year nonetheless.
We had our reunion dinner at my grandfather-in-law's place. Home-cooked food by Maria was yummy, even little Alvis loved the soup. We also had our first 鱼生right after our dinner. (Alvis had a few crackers, which could be one of the factors that triggered his fever)

CNY Day 1 was the usuals. We woke up slightly late, missed the lion dance at my dad's place (sad) and everyone was waiting for us to move on to my uncle's place in AMK. Love gathering with everyone at my uncle's place, they immediately started a gambling den of blackjack at lunchtime. It's always so happening, like how CNY should be.

Then it was steamboat dinner at my dad's place. Full attendance except for my bro & gf.

Photobucket

And that was when Alvis' fever came back. I suspect it was the crackers he had from the yusheng we had on CNY eve.

Photobucket

We went to my godma's place on the 2nd day of CNY.

Photobucket

Moody Alvis

Photobucket

No more photos for Day 2 because I was pretty tired checking his temperature and it was a rather sleepy day for us. hur hur..

He had lesser angbaos this year because of less visiting, but monetary value did not decrease much. :P

He enjoys opening red packets.

Photobucket

his pile

We stayed home on day 3 because hubby went back to work and went to his ex-boss place in the evening for a short while. Day 4 was spent mostly at home and brenda sis' house in the evening. :)
