Chinese New Year Abroad II

How did I spend my Chinese New Year?

Really, I'm only talking about Day II, which is the REAL highlight of my CNY every year.
So to rephrase my question: How did I spend my Day II of CNY, of the Dragon Year, in Cardiff, 14214km away from No.4 Desa Wangsa?

I Google-d that. Hahaa.
The POWER of GOOGLE!

What is the best way to stay in touch?
It's no big mystery, actually.

Yes, the answer is Skype!
Though it really is unreliable, it's my only means until I discover Google+ later, which is SO AWESOME.
Google did not pay me.

Moving on.

Initially I planned to sleep and wake up at 0500, where it would be lunch time back home and where the fun begins. But I was talking to another friend and it was already about 0200 to 0300, so there's no point going to bed. I stayed until 0500 and voila!
I am feeling guilty though (still!) because Yannie was sleeping the whole time I'm Skype-ing.
Sorry!

After several attempts, I managed to get through and I greeted everyone back home.

I have to admit, I was about to cry when I first saw them through the screen.
It suddenly hit me, that at that moment all I ever want to be is there.
But of course, that's not really something I can do. So, like I planned, make the best out of it!

They got me on Veron Jie Jie's Ipad and brought me all around the house!
It's so fun seeing everyone!

I'll let the photos do the talking.
Photos do not belong to me; I nabbed them from my sisters :P



FOOD!




This year, they created this little corner. Because there is simply too many of us!! So cute!

Cheeky, as always. I present to you: my lovely parents! And Handsome at the side. Hahaa!




Men of the house! Love my Dad's shirt!



This is how we did it. I look like some obituary ghost. CHOI! :p





Grandma! Heard she's better now. Isn't it great??



Of course, they HAVE to tag me photos of angpaos!!!!

The boys corner.
I would also normally spend some time here, with the dudes, playing video games.



Baby spamming time!





Apparently her signature pose. LOL!

Oh dear, I love JoLynn's dress!








Kai Kai! ♥ He called me "Kexin Jie Jie" through Skype and I'm moved to bits and tears!!!!!!!
He's at his cutest time now.

Everything else on the day.



Happy Chinese New Year, sweethearts
