First Day of CNY Part 2

After Grandmother's house we went to the temple, 3rd Uncle's house, then home for lunch, followed by aunt's house and  finally family dinner at home.

Boys praying in earnest

since we come here every year, we also take pictures at the same spot every year!

then we went to Seputeh to visit 3rd Uncle, and passed by Thean Hou temple

The cars jamming up to go to Thean Hou Temple was horrendous

Bye! Same time again next year! (but we made arrangement for a Japanese lunch in March!)

Then we went home for vegetarian lunch: fuchok, mushroom, tauhu

served with porridge

Then we went to visit Khee Sim or Uncle Khee's wife

Khee Sim has a passion for sewing, at her age, that is no mean feat

Her unique indoor garden which used to be a koi pond flowing under the staircase

Exquisite smocking on satin frock for her new arrival : great-grandchildren (twins)

she can still do patchwork

For dinner, I cooked the stuff left from the steamboat

Butter prawns, ginger and spring onion fish slices, mixed vegetable deluxe and spicy sotong were by me, chicken, tauhu, pork were by the maids

Same crowd for dinner....and that wraps up our hectic first day!!!
