PRE CNY.
So as usual, I headed over to Damai Puri Spa & Resort before heading over to my grandfather's place in Sg. Apong. Gorgeous place with a beautiful scenery, albeit a tad overpriced.
Basically just relaxed by the pool with a good book in tow and allowed the breeze to blow my worries away.

Food at the hotel is horrible and expensive though, so I wouldn't recommend your eating there, but there's a place nearby called Dayang which has been a family favourite of mine for years. Try their sotongs, bidins etc, they're fresh and deliciously affordable ! :)

Played around a lot as you can see with my LomoLomo app in my iphone, and pretty happy with it.
I think the Kaftan was a tad too big though but the Bikini I got from tanks for five at rm25 was just amazingly comfy and awesome ! :)

CNY PREPARATIONS.
I come from a large family on both sides. My dad has 11 siblings - 12 including him. So you can pretty mush imagine how the size of the reunion dinner was. I had to was approximately 300+ plates - and thats only for the first meal ! :)
My fingers are callused and rough now, but nevertheless it's a must for the women to do so in my hometown.

CNY.
I had a lot of fun eating all the snacks and chinese dinners, dressing up and collecting angpaus.
My CNY is pretty much the typical one with lots of food and angpaus - and of course, my CNY indulgence - a little gambling.
fireworks were beautiful as usual and cousins as naughty as ever :)
