Chinese New Year Eve, the day that my family and I ate the reunion diner .the dinner of this day was where we splurged the money on. Abalone, sharks’ fins, crab every good stuff came into the steamboat. Enjoying this great feast was one of the celebrations. The very next morning, my siblings and I greeted our parents and wished them a good year ahead. Upon wishing them, each of us would receive a red packet, also known as hongbao. All the festive cookies and goodies were all laid on the table. My father, who is a calligrapher and artists, would hang his works on the wall. Like every year, we took a family photograph before visiting my paternal grandparents.
We were greeted by the barking of Lucky, my grandfather’s pet dog. We greeted our relatives and said all kinds of wishes. In return, we received the red packets. We ate and chatted in the living room. After some time, we went out to the garden to take the big family photograph. I also used my hand phone to take a photograph of Lucky. Then, we waved our relatives goodbye and went to my maternal grandmother’s house.
My aunts, uncles and cousins were all inside the house when we reached there. Quickly, we rushed inside and greeted our elders, wishing them good luck at the same time. Later on , we went to the kitchen to eat the fabulous meal cooked by my grandmother ( she cooks the vegetable meal very well)
Over the next few days , we visited my aunties who lived in Tampinies as well. (My family lived in Tampinies) The “boys” of this big family( uncles, siblings, me and cousins ) hid in a room and played cards. 21 points.
With this, I wish every reader of this blog , a happy 牛year!
