Chinese New Year

We had 2 family funerals in January and are not supposed to "celebrate" CNY this year. We were told that we are "not supposed" to give any red packets as we are still mourning within the 49 days period. However, we can still accept red packets from others... Hmm... What a weird tradition! It must have been started from someone that just had a funeral...:p Can receive and cannot give...:)

Anyway, the mood for celebration is still here...:) Met friends for lunch at Imperial Treasure last Wednesday. I had my first "Lo Hei".

Debbie is performing in Pat's Schoolhouse's CNY Celebration on Feb 12 (Fri). We managed to dig a CNY outfit from Denise wardrobe. It fits Debbie like a glove! Decided to add a hair clip to make her look more girly...:)

Even though we are "not supposed" to celebrate CNY, I did my Mani-Pedi, got a new haircut, bought new clothes and went to a CNY bazaar with MIL...:) The only difference is that I do not have to prepare red packets this year.

This CNY will be a stay-at-home, swim and watch TV break for all of us!

So, from Denise and Debbie to you, Gongxi Gongxi (in advance).
