Lunar New Year *dong dong chiang*

Hello hello... Hope all of you had a smashing lunar New year so far!

I got to say, this has been the most pleasant festive season so far, all thanks to the lovely breezy weather and the bub's good behaviour (his first Lunar New Year!).

And now for the photo bomb...


Reunion dinner with my in-laws' side 


Morning after mee sua 


So hard to keep him still... 


"C'mon sweetie, time to work for your college fund. Bring on that auntie-killer smile..."


Finally a decent shot 15 snaps later


Drummin' up a good time 


Fish skin crackers.... New addiction this year


Morning 5am ritual involves popping one of these to stay awake 


Hello, good bye... 


Kueh lapis from Holland Bakery and another delicious version with more than a thousand layers


This tub of pistachio cookies from Kedah Kue Kue was one of the many tubs of cookies we got for my in-laws this year. If you like emping belinjo (like me), you will love their savoury emping cookies.


My favorite goes to these green pea cookies from  Little Nonya Cookies. Can't stop at one... or ten 


Purdy purdy pots 


Hoping for mani happy returns 


Day #1 outfit - florals


Day #2 outfit - florals again 


Some of the best-looking red packets this year


Bub + pug


Hands down the best LNY weather ever


The family photo 


Red velvet cake - an ode to Valentine's Day too =)
