CNY: 2nd Day

Today is the 2nd day and we have more things to do: Visit Papa's cousin at Choa Chu Kang, Joel Di Di visiting us at Gwendolyn's home and all of us visiting Joel Di Di's grandparents at Bedok! Dinner was at home, as Mama said it's a very important "Start of the Year" dinner...and after that, we went to Auntie Suzie's house!!!

In the morning, Lyn Lyn was pounding around the snack area next to the TV, with all the Chinese New Year goodies. Her eyes were set on the crackers and nut nut. All morning, she was asking for them and quietly took them and opened by herself! She was so happy after being able to open them by herself!

We set off for Choa Chu Kang at around 10:45am and arrived at Uncle Anthony's place at around 11:10am. Uncle Anthony's daughter loves playing with Gwendolyn, but her younger brother, who's 7 months younger than Lyn Lyn was rather agressive. When Lyn Lyn approached his chair, he went a teary and screamed! He even hit Lyn Lyn and Lyn Lyn just sat down there and grinned...when Uncle Anthony removed the Di Di and took another the chair for him, he kept staring at Lyn Lyn, as if she would snatch away the chair from him anytime! Lyn Lyn couldn't care less, sat on the floor and played with the baby doll, feeding and bathing it. So sweet! Auntie brought some lunch and we all ate there before heading home to wait for Joel Di Di!

Joel Di Di dressed up in all red chinese costumes with a hat on his head. But the hat was very small. Lyn Lyn took away from him and tried it on herself...

Look at how cheeky she is when removing Joel Di Di's hat!

Joel was carried away with the toys in Lyn Lyn's room, especially the kitchen set. He kept "cooking" and "stirring". Bao Bei Gu Gu even thought of buying a kitchen set for him, but it's kind of weird, as he's a boy...hm...

After all the baby play, we all set off for Joel Di Di's grandparent's place! There, both kids were very excited, especially when it's a maisonette, with a staircase! Lyn Lyn kept asking Auntie Karen, Gu Cheung's youngest sister, to bring her up and down the staircase. Poor Karen...

Joel Di Di's grandma has homemade "lo hei" every year, her kids will take turns to help shred the veggies. As it was Gu Cheung's turn, Lyn Lyn observed how he did it and asked to help. At some point, she asked: Gu Cheung, are you making a mess? What an innocent but to-the-point question. Everyone wanted to ask this burning question, but no one dared to really ask! So funny...

On the way home, Lyn Lyn finally fell asleep in the car! She endured for the whole day...had her nap and still remembered she's supposed to go to Auntie Suzie's house when being awaken from her nap...she had a great time playing with all the kids at Auntie Suzie's house! What a fun 2nd day!
