CNY day 3

as usual, since my uni days, most of my CNY is not complete without a trip to Kuala Selangor(KS) for house visiting & seafood lunch with a few good frens.....

and now from my new home at Setia Alam plus with the smooth road all along the way & no traffic jam, we managed to reach KS in about 30 minutes.... not bad huh.....

this time around, we went in two cars (hubby, me, mr yeoh, mrs yeoh, ms yeoh joo yee- one year old bb girl...... hehehe, jian yee & li sun).......... our usual local KS tour guide , boo guan's house was the 1st stop....

then... what else but the lovely seafood lunch at Sungai Yu Restaurant .....7 adults and one bb girl...... the meal cost us about RM 140.00 ++ (just about RM 20.00 per person)........ thanks hubby for the treat!

Cai Shen Dao

It's the first day of CNY today... no "balik kampung" since my in-laws hv been celebrating CNY in KL for such a long time...

first time in 28 years that i'm celebrating CNY away from my parents though my hubby & i will be visiting them tomolo...

this mean that for the first time, no gambling sessions with my family, uncles, aunties & cousins on the eve or first day of CNY or shall i say, the 15 days of CNY? hopefully not... still look forward to catch up with them...

there's so many first time... first time of no house visiting on first day of CNY which means i get to watch an "entire TV programme"... tomolo will also be the first time for hubby & i to give "ang pow" to all our "single" uncle, auntie & cousins... hopefully it will bring luck to all of them!

and two more days, hubby will leave for his business trip to utsunomiya, japan... he'll be coming back only on the 14th day of CNY... sigh... going to miss him again...

as i browse the net for some CNY songs, i found this which suits my CAI SHEN cross-stitch. here it is:

财神到 财神到
财神到我家大门口
迎财神接财神
把财神接到我家里头
从今我交好运
财源滚滚来
做生意它一本万利
买马票它得心应手
万事都东成西就
财神到财神到
大家迎接财神到
