Chinese New Year 2014

      It might be a little to late to post about my Chinese New Year, but posting something now is better than posting nothing right? I had a lot of fun this year celebrating Chinese New Year with the family and a day with my closest friends. 

      Last year, I didn't get to celebrate as much as I did this year because my grandfather and my aunt passed away on that year. But as for this year, two of my closest cousin sisters tagged along! :) THE MORE, THE MERRIER! 

     On Chinese New Year Eve, my family and I ate dinner at my grandmother's house with my two other cousin sisters. We had the first 'lou sang' of the year as it is the tradition for most of the Chinese (?). We also played some fire sizzling sticks (I'm not sure what is it called) and took a lot of Polaroid pictures as a memory! 

      On the first day of Chinese New Year, we ate breakfast at my grandmother's house and we visited our first house which was my grand aunt's house (grandfather's brother's wife). Their house was packed filled with people. We had so many second cousins we aren't close to, I don't even know some of their names. But we took a picture as a memory since it's the first time we all talked as we exchanged our facebook contacts two years ago. 

    

      I'm gonna go ahead and skip till the 8th of February because there was nothing interesting happening, just visiting relatives and going to their toilets a lot of times due to the amount of water I drank. 

      On the 8th of February, my mother organized a small open house for her and her friends at our house. I invited a few of my closest friends, so did my sister. I live in a condo which is not that spacious at all, but we did manage to squeeze everyone into the house! THE MORE, THE MERRIER! Here are some pictures of what happened during that fun day. (We forgot to take picture of the scrumptious food my mom cooked for the guests) 

      After most of the guests left, a few of the guests continued to house hop to my mom's colleagues' house as it is a tradition of ours. HOUSE HOPPING IS FUN FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE WE GET TO RECEIVE A LOT OF RED PACKETS! 

That Bieber phone cover though ;)

I SHIP. I SHIP IT.

      This year was one of the most memorable Chinese New Year in my 16 years celebrating Chinese New Year. So many happy moments were captured on that day! I hope you enjoy reading, tell me what do you think about my Chinese New Year. How was your Chinese New Year? Leave a comment down below, i'll see you guys next week! Good bye! :) x
