大年初一

大年初一 didn't start off with the usual bang as previous new yrs.. Somehow this yr lacked the new year mood and I was really reluctant to get dressed and get involved in the usual 'act-friendly' time of the yr..

Maybe nxt yr I will 避年 with Cher and Loti.. :P



All dressed up...



First stop was ah ma's place followed by the old folk's home where my great grandmother, aged 92, resides.. There were alot alot alot of distant cousins when we arrived and I was feeling rather awkward so I ran around chasing rabbits instead..



Nxt stop was my grandfather's brother's home. More commonly known as the pistachio nut place. :D



Cousins Olivia and Angelica with Alisa..



Trix, me and Brian!
