Day 2 of CNY

It was a tiring day for me yesterday as I went around Serangoon North & Sengkang visiting my relatives.

We set off at about 12 noon to my first uncle’s ( 大舅）place at Serangoon North. I always liked going to their place as my uncle’s 5 children are very lively people. We had a sumptuous lunch there before we played some card games.

Soon my second aunt (二姨）came. She said she wanted to pay a visit to my place, so my brother and I packed up and went home. My aunt helped us with the cutting of the dried barbecue pork that my mum’s boss has given to us as a gift.

After that, we followed her to my 3rd uncle’s (三舅）place, whose block is next to my block. It was always good to catch up with him as even though he stays next to my block, we meet up only during family occasions as we are always busy with our own stuff.

After that, we went home, with the thought of taking a bath, but I received a call from my ex-client that he wanted to give me hongbao, so I had to entertain him for a while.

After that, we went to our 3rd aunt’s (三姨）place. The reason why we headed to her place first before she came to our place is she is working at the airport, and she is working throughout the CNY period. We had a delicious steamboat dinner and an interesting “捞鱼生”session as besides tossing to a good year ahead, we also picked 4 numbers to buy for the next 4D draw on Wednesday.

It was a good catch up session too with my 2 married cousins and their 3 children. Cousin Meiling’s eldest daughter is so shy. She refused to answer my questions when I asked her, while Cousin Meiqing’s only daughter, Yuanxuan, who is a year old is more at ease with the camera.

After that, all of us walked to Sengkang Interchange and headed back home together.
