大年初一
Daddy had to go bai bai, which is the usual practice for his family, at his ancestors. Jovann and I stayed at home this year while Daddy went, and he came back around noon time. We prepared to go out! As Ah Ma, Ah Gong not at home, we visited Gong Gong Ma Ma first! and Daddy Mommy had a nice yummy lunch there hehehee.
When we reached, you carried 2 huge mandarin oranges, walked to Ma Ma, and 拜年 to her with your hands moving up and down in the gong xi gong xi action. Ma Ma was so proud and so pleased with you she told everyone of what you did later that day.
We left soon after, to go Mommy's Hia Ma Ma's house, where we joined Ah Gong, Ah Ma. It was a long time since she saw you (since your full month), and there were amazed at how tall you are now. You amused them throughout the visit by playing music with the containers and covers and urging us all to clap to your performance with a cheeky grin on your face. you were not shy or reserved at all, and went around "talking" to both Hia Ma Ma and grand cousin, but refused Hia Ma Ma to carry you. Surprisingly, you let Grand Cousin carry you.
Next, we sent Ah Gong, Ah Ma back home, and went to Holland to visit Zhou Zhou. We had yummy snacks and the traditional deep fried "nian gao". YOu also had your dinner of mee sua soup there. It was the first time we tried feeding you on a proper adult dining chair (coz there's no high chair at Zhou Zhou's place), and you actually stayed in your chair throughout your meal! Very proud of you. You played on the sofa, with Gong Gong, and kept hugging your cousin Kieira who's 1 mth older than you.
When Gong Gong carried Kieira, you insisted he carries you too.
Kissing Zhou Zhou

Finally, we went to Ah Gong Ah Ma's house to to them.
大年初二
Our family had a nice breakfast at Long John's Silver at Bukit Panjang Plaza, then set off for our first stop of the day.
We went upstairs to fetch Ah Gong Ah Ma to visit Gu Gu's house. You were napping in the car, so Daddy stayed with you downstairs while we made our way up. When Daddy came up with you still napping, we prepared a bed for you in Grand cousin's room, and in there you slept for another 45mins with Daddy and a fan (they insisted on pulling on into the room for you) accompany you! Not bad!
We had a yummy lunch cooked by Gu Gu, Ah Soh, Hia Ma Ma, and help from their maid. It was yummy, with spaghetti, cabbage fish maw soup, teochew roast duck, mixed vege, steamed fish, sambal sotong, slices abalone. When you woke up, we had nearly finished, and Daddy ate his lunch while Ah Gong and Mommy took turns to feed you your porridge that Ah Gong cooked from home. you were quite distracted, but managed to finish almost all of it.
At one point of time, you refused to eat and Gu Gu pretended to be angry with you. She pretended to hit Ah Gong, "blaming" him for you not eating. You immediately pouted, with tears threatening in your eyes, coz she hit your beloved Ah Gong. You kept staring at her, pouting and holding back your tears, then turned towards Ah Gong and sayanged him with your hand. All of us burst out laughing, it was super cute! hehehe!
After lunch, the malaysian relatives arrived and there were some chit chatting by the adults and hugging by the kids (namely you and the big girl cousin). No idea why but you kept hugging her. she is prob 2 years older then you but as she is a girl and she just woke up, she seemed very shy and hesitant of why this little boy kept advancing. its so farnie watching hehehee.
After this, we went to visit your great grandfather. Wish to remind you here, that you also have a great grandmother on the maternal side who will love you very much had she not been lying in hospital. Due to some evil and heartless person, your great grandmother had been lying in hospital for the past 2-3 years. She did not even know I was pregnant with you. It's very very sad because she has always been eager to hear news of me being pregnancy when she was well. Everytime she met Ah Ma, she will ask after me and if I am expecting. As it happens, I got pregnant with you months after her accident. And now, she will not have the fortune of having you call her Ah Zhou. But please remember that she loves you with all her heart, for you are her first great grand son.
After the visit to Great grandfather, we brought Ah Gong Ah Ma to Great World City to have a cuppa, because Gong Gong Ma Ma were not ready to be visited. We had a nice time there, Ah Gong exclaiming incessantly over paying $5 for a cup of English Tea, and Ah Ma quietly enjoying her favourite Iced Caramel Frappucino. Mommy had Passionfruit tea and Daddy English Breakfast. You had a go at the car ride downstairs and was in high spirits.
Next, visit to Gong Gong Ma Ma. Ah Gong Ah Ma marvelled at how familiar you are with their house, how you zoomed in straight at the cabinet containing all the model toy cars and bringing EACH of them out proudly to show Ah Gong. How you climbed the stairs with ease and practically bossed around the house and bossed around everybody.
大年初三
We visited Grand Uncle and Grand Auntie Michelle's house today. They have moved to another place, and your Auntie Chionh Lin (only 6-7 yrs old) has a SUPER PRETTY PINK ROOM that Mommy envy so much!!! you seemed to like her, and she likes you, and she brought you around her room, let you climb onto her pink bed, and showed you her toys.
Mommy also went through the nice Japan photos of their recent trip.

We had dinner at Bi Feng Tang with Ah Ma, and similar to the previous time you had dinner there, you were very naughty. Mommy tried ordering their fish porridge for you to try, as the porridge I cook has broccoli thats overcooked and I dun feel comfy feeding you that. you were hungry, ate about 6-7 soup spoons of the fish porridge, then you refused it. When I took out the Food Jar with your homemade porridge, your eyes opened wide in anticipated, and eagerly took the porridge for a small bowl full. Then you stopped and refused to eat. Nothing could make it. Sigh....
