Chinese new year was superb, as everyone including myself had an enjoyable moment throughout the long week.
i am still getting myself out of the dark long tunnel of the festive mood
apart from all the late nights, which seriously made me kinda drained
and again, apart from the questioning from relatives: “why are you so dark?”
(i really explained till mouth dropped)
the 2010 new year experience is one of a kind
a memorable one; as i always like to indulge in family warmth

we went to the seventh mile river when we stepped onto hometown, tapah
reunion dinner was a simple one
first day of cny made the whole ambience reds and pinks, including some other colours
gambling for almost a couple of hours
slowly tasting the all time favourite, grandma’s cooked porridge.
lou shang during dinner at cousin’s restaurant (Hou Yi Lou)
second day with the wanton mee for breakkie
then went to big aunt’s house (the very kampung feel), gambled again of course
tea time at Tapah Rest House
went crazy with all the funny jumping shots during evening
fire crackers went bonkers at night
third day a buffet lunch at cousin/aunt’s new house at kampar
cuddled with kiddos
playing with cards
and sleeping on the massaging chair – a total life
not to miss out, those supper times with maggie tomyam, goreng, roti bom and teh tarik
obviously, the 2000 photos that we took -  an awesome new record for 2010!
- that defines why i love cny that much, with bunch of cousies and relatives, making warmth and memories in a familiar setting where we find comfort.

of course, its impossibly to upload all photos here.
refer to my facebook if you wanna take a look at them

and so.
i had a great week :)
the day that i have been looking forward to ends for 2010
- time to face back to reality.
