CNY 2013

10.2.13 - Today is the first day of CNY and I had a great day together with my family.  In the morning, we went over to parents in law house to serve tea to the elderly at home and had a simple brunch.  Then we spent an hour there before we headed home.  We had tea in the patio together with Lassie and TH lit up the firecracker to scare away bad omens and welcome good fortune. That was the belief.  Towards the evening, we went over to CC house.  The kids went across the playground while the rest and myself  had a game of mahjong.  TH was left alone most of the time watching TV and dozed off in between.  I am grateful for his patience.  I was enjoying myself at the mahjong table while the kids too were enjoying themselves at the playground.  In fact, bro and ML did a pretty good job in decorating the house.  It was in the mood for CNY. I am grateful to my brother for inviting us to his lovely house.   He also bought some firework and firecracker and lit it up for the kids after dinner.  At that moment, I felt dad's presence and he was smiling at us. We ordered pizza for a quick dinner before we continued with our mahjong.  It was about 10pm, we made a move.  Back home, we packed for our Hatyai trip tomorrow and also booked our tickets online fro a CNY blockbuster at TGV Kepong tomorrow afternoon.  Well, we will drive to Hatyai tomorrow night about 10pm.  After the show, TH and I plan to take a good nap before we hit the road.  I hope we will have a good holiday together. I love my family and I thanks GOD for every moments with them in my life. That includes my sis and bro too, they are wonderful people.
