It's the Year of the Tiger, but instead of a roaring CNY, ours has been more like a kitten's mew. Very very low key and laid back so far, only had to visit his grandma yesterday. His aunts and uncles came over and we don't really need to visit their houses.
Nick made Nat offer him oranges in the morning, before he gave her a token angpow. She wore a pink cheongsam I bought in Guilin last Dec, only cost me $5! Colour suited her and size was just nice too.
I had a red and white striped maternity halter dress that was new too, never got to wear it the year Nat was born when she arrived before CNY!
We got to Amah's at 9.15 am to catch Ben & Wendy before they left, and thereafter went to Christ the King for mass before returning to Amah's house. Had lunch there, Mildred had ordered some Eurasian dishes from a friend, food was not too bad and there was plenty left for us to bring home. Swana, Kevin, Ma and Gigi came over for dinner, along with Pops, Aunty Sarda, Baba and Aunty Irene.
Today we swung by Amah's in the morning to collect some bak kwa before bringing Nat to St Anne's to visit Isaac. He would have turned 6 yesterday. Sigh...
Thereafter Nat wanted to see aeroplanes so off we went to Changi Beach but there were hardly any planes taking off or landing so we left after 2 or 3 flights.
Tapau-ed food and headed to Kavi's place where the Dopes joined us. Spent the afternoon there before we left in the evening to pick up Nat's dinner and we reconvened at Labrador Park. There was a pretty sunset and we even saw a man catch a fish, before proceeding to Anchorpoint for dinner. And that about sums up of CNY this year!
