There. The plant that my mum grows every chinese new year, only this time 2 sprouted shoots and leaves fast enough. The rest are still taking their time.

Happy chinese new year everyone :D

This cny was not much different from the previous years. Reunion dinner at a restaurant, gathering at my auntie's house on the 1st, gathering at po po's house on 2nd morn, spending the whole day together, this year all of us cousins finally visited my gu po's house (normally only the adults go), then dinner at my 5th aunt's house!

All the cousins with our gu po. I love the colours in this photo cos everyone's in some shade of red/pink/purple (:

The small ones are so cute.

We discovered photos! Thats my grandparents, and my aunties. My mum's the tallest.

Nice hair cut mummy!

Cny was great, the meetups, lots of really good food and ang pows (: At least I had a reason to stuff down all the pineapple tarts, bah kwas and chocolates! But now that cny is over, and i'm still popping pineapple tarts into my mouth, I think I should stop soon.. Can no longer tell myself I'm just putting back the calories I lost while running on sunday!

Yes, I ran about 13km on sunday. The ambitious me did so without building up distance before that and not running for more than a month. Furthermore, with delle and xiaoting! who are so so fit and run so fast. I was really dying hahaha... But running and completing a distance (not during the run though) is rather addictive, as delle said. Still completing a marathon is a whole different story!!!
