CNY UPDATES...
03.02.11 ~ 大年初一
Started our 'early' day with supper with HC and his friend for roti prata! Was feeling hungry as we had early dinner. So asked HC if he is hungry too. So after the CNY variety show, we drove off for our yummy prata.. Ryan went along with us too.. First time that he stayed up so late... by the time we reached home.. it's almost 230am... shower and changed him and he feel asleep.. Both HC and i spend some couple time watching tv show before sleeping.
Woke up at 9am to prepare and freshen up. 10am, our 1st vistor came. HC's youngest uncle and family. they sat for 15 mins before moving off.. For us @ 1130am, we set off to Hc's eldest aunt place @ Bedok Res before moving to his 5th uncle place @ Pasir Ris. There after, mil chasing us to go home cos she was feeling bored.. (she didnt like to stay there cos no one bother to talk to her).
SO we send her home and let Ryan take his afternoon nap before we proceed to my grandma place then my mum place for dinner. Each year, mum will invite my aunts and grandma to my place for dinner; this year with no exception. After dinner, i changed Ryan into another clothes before moving off to meet HC's sis to go visiting to his other relatives. Went to a few of HC's relatives and by the time we got home, it's about 10pm. Rest time!

Rise and shine for prayers then relatives coming for visting. By 12plus we all got ready to go. As usually, 2nd day of CNY is a gathering day on my dad's side. Each year my uncle and aunts will do rotation on their CNY open house for us. Pot luck sessions as they are pretty good cook.. :)
Glad that HC can blend in well with them and my cousins too.. hahaha.. Stayed for almost 2.5hrs before going home cos we had a cruise ship to catch!
Yup.. This CNY, we had booked to go for a short getaway. We reached Harbourfront at around 5pm. Queued for the exchange of tickets before we can board on the cruise ship. After we settled the necessary stuff, we went on to board the ship... Bye Singapore for now..
Our 1st holiday as a family. Up on board, we checked into our room, 5553 and changed into our comfortable wear before we proceed to our buffet dinner. Ryan was very excited... He ate and enjoyed the scenery. Then we walked around the ship and took some pics... By the time almost about 10plus, we went back to our room as Ryan felt sleepy. Gave him a small milk and there he eventually knocked off. Then HC went for his fun!!! Yup, the casino.. Won $2k and beaming with joy when he came back and woke pester me for supper. Ryan was asleep so he went up to see if the good is good anot. He came down saying got burger, century egg porridge etc.. ok lah, woke Ryan up and had to carry him and we went for supper. HC certainly had his fill. Then we went back to our room before HC went for his 2nd round to try his luck again. By the time 5am plus, he was still not back yet.. began to worry and left Ryan sleeping and went to casino to look for him. He was just making his way out and beaming again.. hahaha.. ok, some winnings.. and he nap awhile before we go and enjoy our sun rise view!

Day started as early as 7am. Wash up and went to view the early sun rise.. very beautiful and cold. Took some pics and proceed to go for breakfast. Ryan had cornflaks and fruit punch while HC and i had each of everything... Lots of people and they are pretty "yao kwee"hahah.. scare like never eat. Then we went back to our room and rest. HC and Ryan both fell asleep while it's my turn to go and try luck. Won small cos i pretty stingy on this.. haha but after that return all to them. Haiz.. no luck!
Woke the both of them up for lunch and brought Ryan to the indoor playground. They had this childcare centre where the kids are left inside with lots of activities for them to play. Amazingly, Ryan wanted to stay there so we paid for an hour fee and left him there to play as parents are not allowed inside. So we went for casino again. This time round, i just roam around and watch people play. An hour later, we went to pick Ryan and headed for ice cream and fries before going back to our room for some rest then dinner at the chinese restaurant. The food sucks a big time... then we headed back to level 12 for buffet to fill up our stomach.

Rise and shine again for sun rise view... Our last day @ cruise. Nothing much to do. Just went for breakfast, let Ryan walk around before heading back to our room to pack up and check out. Went to the reception to settle our bills and collected our passport and waited for the ship to dock.. By the time we reached Singapore, it's already 11plus coming to 12noon. Had to queue to go thru customs etc and when we were finally out, we took a cab home and father and son had their shower and nap immediately while i had to settle the laundry before i nap.
Well... that's all about my CNY...
