New Years

New Year's day came, marked our third wedding anniversary, went and then before long, it was Chinese New Year. As expected, it was a quiet celebration for us. If not for our families back home, we would have forgotten all about it! ;) Two days before Chinese New Year, Agnes impulsively made peanut cookies. When Jacynth woke from her nap and saw the peanuts, she started pinching them... not one, not two, but on and on and on... she just could not stop!

She even wanted to steal the whole container away!

All gobbled up in 2-3 days!

For the reunion dinner, Agnes made a simple meal of soya sauce prawn and the special vegetarian dish known as 'jai choy'. All the ingredients symbolise good fortune, long life and prosperity (like everything else Chinese New Year related) but what do we know of that! 

While Kevin and Agnes enjoyed 100plus and A&W root beer (they're special because they can only be found in Asian shops), Jacynth slurped away her first box of kiddy (so bland!) fruit juice. 

On the first day of Chinese New Year, we put on a Chinese suit for Jacynth. She did some stunts as usual... 

Ripped off a button... 

Was disgusted at the thought of pizza and strawberry at this time of the year... 

Then got ready to wish her grandparents 'gong xi, gong xi'!
