I love this season because friends and family are able to come together with great fellowship and GOOD FOOD. Like for reeaalllll!! It was fun catching up with cousins you haven't seen in awhile, especially when they come back from overseas. Also, the amount of food to prepare and eat was like.....WOW. I really salute my mum for preparing all the food! I helped out here and there with the set up and walking around, helping with whatever she needs. Even before the lunch started, I could see we were all getting tired already..haha!
This year, my family had the opportunity to open our house on Day 2 of the CNY for our relatives to have our lunch! Here are some pictures from that day! I wasn't able to take a very nice shot of the food because everyone was crowding that area and it was impossible to slip in HAHA! (our uncle and his family were late so everyone had to wait for him before we can start eating :p)!
'Food brings people together.' I couldn't agree more to that! More than just food, CNY is really the season where families come together. Usually, for those who are able, children or families would fly back to their hometown and have a reunion dinner together.
I wish I could tell you all more! There really is more to CNY but I'll save that for next time! This season has been pretty busy too...haha! And what's the downside? Getting sick on the 2nd day of CNY AARRGGHHHH! Must be from all that food and cookies I ate! I hope I get better soon so I can eat more of those haha!
Anyways!! If you want to know more on Chinese New Year, I really, really recommend you all to check out this website hereeeeeee! Its a really pretty website and it covers a lot of things for CNY! For example, what to eat on CNY, Chinese zodiac signs and calenders, myths and taboos in CNY and more!! MUST GO CHECK IT OUT!
