First day of New Year

Peace and tranquility, he is enjoying the noise and laughter of the families gathered together......

My girls and me

This is the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, the girls(daughters) are sleeping and the grandchildren are less noisy. Sometime I wonder where they get their energy from. It makes me tired just to watch them play!

It has been a week of late nights. I am glad that Su and Ridha are here. Ridha is great in cleaning and Su is great in cooking, so this year I have time for my daughters, sisters and grandchildren (nothing new right?) and today I got up early and spent some bonding time with my computer. Not for long though, because i'm going to Morib in an hours time.

Let's see what happened in the last few days... We slept at 5am every morning and got up (only Prema and me) at 8am. What did we do the whole night? There are photos to show you later.
We had open house on the lst day. On the 2nd day I went out for breakfast with sisters number 2, 4 and 6 and their families. We had some visitors again in the late morning. Then, I went out for lunch and spent some bonding time with the girls (lots of heart to heart talk, laughter, tears and soul baring. We need this and we seem to do it quite well... it always ends with someone crying and our understanding and love for each other becoming stronger).

Today we are going to do our separate things and meet our separate friends (enough of the bonding for now, they may kill each other for too much of love and bonding) tonight we shall meet again.

That's all for now. See you
