CHINESE NEW YEAR DAY 2♥ Yeah, spent it at home again. Actually come to think of it, I basically spent every day of my CNY at home. xD

Steamboat that night! So the uncles/brothers were setting up fire and making soup. Yes the men do the soup, or at least watch the fire. xD

Fire for the steamboat soup cooking! We don't use the gas wok cause it uses up too much gas. Charcoal's cheaper when you wanna boil the soup for the whole day.

Everyone chipping in to prepare lunch~

Ba kien! Pork rolls or something, I dunno. But its mouth wateringly good♥

Golden brown, crisp and all-round awesome!

Steamboat omnomnom! When we were younger, two tables could still fit everybody in the house. Now? Two tables isn't enough. xD We sorta stood up and ate now, and just let the elders and the youngest of the family sit at the seats.

This is what happens if you're unlucky enough to be standing at the washbasin while everyone decides to finish eating at the same time. You're stuck washing a mountain of utensils. But everyone has a turn, so its sorta fair. xD

Awesome sauce oreo cookies and cream Humble Beginnings cake my cousin bought for me. Soooo good♥


And in return, I brought this carrot cake from Subang's La Manila to Penang! xD

Breakfast food in grandmother's house. Its basically ginko and pandan tong sui, which is really good♥

Everyone started learning how to play mahjong on the third day. xD

The three super vain super lovely girl cousins with their blinged nails! xD

Look who paid us a visit on the third day! Guess who we be waiting for?

Still can't guess?

Lion dancers! They visit every year, but this year it was pretty early. Which is good I guess, cause CNY was short enough as it is, and everyone's returning home early and all. >.<>

Elder ones sorta settle down on the chairs behind. xD

We need the long red firecrackers for the atmosphere too!

Not to forget the altar and oranges!

With an angpau slide inside for payment for services of course! Go see my facebook for the video of the lion dance. xP

This is what happens to the oranges after the lions are done with it. They be peeling oranges for you. xD

Ended the lion dance leg with this. My favourite thing of all in Penang! ice blended sweetcorn! ♥

And that night we played fireworks~
