CNY 2026 Round 2 and I Found my Glasses

Oh yes! I found my glasses! I lost it for a good week. Where was it? It probably dropped into the bag that I used to store the snorkelling masks after we bought them. It was sitting in the bag and in the storeroom for a week. I found it while packing for Cebu. Happy! 

I took a short 45 mins nap after settling all the laundry and vacuuming after home from Cebu. Then it was time to visit my brother’s place and Popo for CNY and lunch. Before that, we had to stop by NTUC to buy oranges. Ya, we are so ill prepared for CNY. I was looking forward to the good home cooked food, particularly Popo’s ngoh hiang. The 4 that Popo gifted us when we met for reunion dinner were gone in 2 days. 

A very excited lion greeted us at the door.

My brother had invited some uncles and aunties for lunch and to visit his new place. I see my extended family once a year during CNY, only if we are in Singapore and if our timing coincides. Our family have never hosted them. There is always a 1st!

I have not seen one of the uncles and wife for years! 

The elders were having lunch when we arrived. We (and the Fs) quietly stole ngoh hiangs from the kitchen and munched on CNY goodies. Hungry leh. We swamped the dining table once the elders were done. Chomp, chomp, yum, yum. Home cooked food. I was reminded of when I was a kid, having reunion dinner at my grandma’s place. Bcos there were so many people then, and a small dining table, we had to take turns. Usually the fathers and uncles 1st, before the kids, then finally the mothers and aunties. 

FB also reminded me of this.

Let’s do another one! 

Ferlin said that there was one taken just a year or 2 ago. Is it? She dug this out. Oh ya.. old people brain. 

Anyhow, they were gamed for another one.

Ferlin quickly put them together. 

Look how they have grown over the years! 

This morning, my SIL sent this over the family chat, by ChatGPT. Zaky, Nana and Ferlin totally don’t look like themselves. Lol.

Happy New Year! Huat ah!
