2011 CNY in Penang

2011 was the 1st time we didn't go back to our hometown for Chinese New Year. We missed home very very much. Luckily we had lovely friends who came to celebrate the CNY with us. Friends coming over on the 1st day of CNY for visiting, BBQ on the 5th day and pot luck on the 9th day.

David took a day leave on New Year Eve, but I did not. Luckily my boss is a very kind man who let me went home earlier as I told him I needed to go back early to cook the reunion dinner. :p I left office around 2:30pm and dropped by McD to get 2 prosperity burger sets as David told me he had not had his lunch. I reached home about 3pm and David told me Samuel had diarrhea the moment I stepped into the house. All the near by clinics already close so we just went to a pharmacy to get a medicine for Samuel. I only started cooking around 6pm and had our simple reunion dinner around 7:30pm. Since there're only David and me so I just fried a plate of bee hoon and a slice of salmon for our New Year Eve dinner.





Our poor Samuel had diarrhea on the 1st and 2nd day of CNY. When the diarrhea stopped on the 3rd day of CNY, he started coughing, fever and running nose.... (@_@) haiz...~ David and I worried sick as there was no clinic opened during CNY but luckily we still got some medicine from last visit to the paed. So we gave Samuel those medicine until the 4th day of CNY only we brought him to see the doctor. Samuel's nursery was still closed on 7th Feb so I had to take 1 day leave to baby sit him at home. Thank God Samuel got better after taking the medicine and had enough rest at home.

We didn't go for visiting during CNY. Just some of our colleagues came to our house on the 1st day of CNY. Sad that we didn't take any photos for that... :(  On the 5th day of CNY, David's colleague, Johaan who's living in the same condo with us suggested to have a BBQ by the pool side. He also invited other colleagues from their department to join the BBQ and we had a great time during the BBQ.







On the 9th day of CNY, we had pot luck at our house. :)











Time flies. Today already the 12th day of CNY and CNY will end in another 3 more days. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends a very Happy Rabbit Year and "huat" aaaahhhh!!!
