2nd day of CNY 2009

Woke around 8am and I went over to dear's place to bai nian around 11am and reached around 1230pm.
Greeted his family members then later went over to his mum's workplace to bai nian as she's working.

Had mac for lunch.. then later head back to my place.

Dear bai nian with my parents when back home then waited for relatives to make their way over. It's a yearly "ritual" that my house will host my paternal relatives lol.

There were around 3 families and dear and I helped mum to prepare steamboat dinner and entertain the relatives.
Quite a feat, with the amount of food we managed to do in that short time.
There's even "cold platter" and black pepper pork.

We played cards after dinner too and when I thought I had lost, the last round when I was the banker, I got double A LOL, triple payment from all the players and I managed to win a few bucks :P

Relatives left around 10pm and dear left shortly after too.
Tiring to be host family but as mum says "家里要有人气", like that then it's more like celebrating CHinese New Year :)

And I think I kinda put on weight le lar LOL with the many varieties of goodies mum had prepared.. like ten different containers sitting on my table now.



CNY Goodies~~
