**Iris' Castle of Happiness ^_^: Chinese New Year 2008

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! Happy Chinese New Year!!! heehee... these few days of holidays had been a busy period for me. as Grandma is recovering from the Cataract Operation, i had to take over the responsibility to cook for the family for our reunion dinner and CNY Day 1 Lunch. CNY has always been a festival i always look forward to as i can meet up with many relatives and get together. normally all of us r busy with our own life so tis once a yr CNY hols can bring us together and update on each other abt our happenings. with me in Aussie for the past 1 year, missing out on many opportunities to meet up with my family and relatives, CNY hols bcame even more important to me.

Auntie Cindy & my lovely niece, Baby Lynnette...

Brother & Lynnette... haha.. brother trying to act cute la... hmm, so when is my brother going to give me another niece or nephew leh?

Lynnette & I.. last year when i saw her, she was still a little baby. now she is all grown up.. almost 2 years old. tis sweetie is my elder cousin's little princess.

heehee.. cute little sweetie... hyper active girl...

from left to rite: my eldest cousin, Seow Wai & her little princess, Lynnette.. my 2nd cousin, Seow Yin & her princess, Joyce & little cutie, Anthony. heehee...

tis CNY hols was especially busy for me. other than gathering with family, i met up with my frens.

1stly was the meeting up with Tess! yeahz!!! she came to Spore for holidays!!! woohoo~!!!! so on 2nd day of CNY, we arranged to meet up for supper @ Swensens. Together with Huiying, Huiying's BF (Zhiwei), Philip and myself, we had a great time catching up with Tess. it made us felt as if we are back in Aussie, having our favourite dessert @ Freestyle. hahaha...

@ Swensens Park Hotel, Orchard...

i really miss these 2 buddies... miss all the precious moments we spent in Aussie... the Warren Street Baobei-s... hahaha...

CNY Day 3 had always been a day to go for house visit to Teachers' house. in the morning, I went to 曾老师's house as per usual. met up with my pri sch frens and we went for our 8th CNY visit to her house. 曾老师 only permitted us to visit her house during CNY after our O levels. hence ever since then, tis is our 8th year to her house. i really really treasure tis kind of tradition almost us. rain or shine, we will all try to make it for tis once a year event & there will be more years to go ahead!

tis year CNY day 3 had been slightly busier. after lunch, i rushed down to meet Lin, Lian and Jas. it is suppose to be a visit to Ms Lock's house with my sec sch frens. however, many of them r unable to make it. but nevertheless, with juz few of us, we still had fun! hahaha.. hopefully next year, the attendance will be better!

Jas, Lin and Lian with Ms Lock's son, Jerald...

Jerald & I... 5 years old liao...

2 years ago when i saw him, he was very hyper active boy. now he is still as active. hahaha...

Sheba... one of Ms Lock's dogs...

Huilin & Snowie.. Snowie very dun give Lin face ah.. keep turning here and there.. finally willing to stay still for a min for a photo. hahaha... Lin's scarifice for her clothes to b covered by the fallen dog fur is worth while!!!

Snowie & Sheba... knew them since i was sec sch... as noisy as usual ah! hahaha...

before we left Ms Lock's house, Jerald put up a performance for us... so i had a deal with him tat next year, i shall go again to look at his Wushu performance after he attend Vincent Ng's Wushu School. hahaha...

suppose to take photo of Ms Lock but she said dun wan to, so dun have photos of her. but she has nv change. as usual, as pretty... as for her daughter, Jade, she is very shy. hopefully next year, she will be less shy and we can take a photo with her. heehee..

after Ms Lock's house, we went to meet up with Jun and had our dinner at airport. after a very FULL dinner, back to town for movie, Kungfu Dunk. heehee... the movie is really funny la, though some parts r quite lame, still it kept me laughing from beginning till end ah. hahaha... after the movie, is already past midnite. since there is no transport home, we decided to hang out a while more and catch nite rider home. hahaha... so we had our usual photo taking session...
