New Year Eve & New Year Day Gathering

We went to the church on the 31st Dec, 2011 for New Year Eve mass. After that, we went straight away to my parents' house for family gathering. We supposed to do a BBQ but seems the person in charge will arrive late, we decided to cook all the menus.

After dinner, we have some photo session. Unfortunately, my eldest sister and my 4th sister aren't in the photo with us. Below is the photo of my big family (My brothers, my parents, me & my beautiful sisters).

After that, it's karaoke time. We sang until late midnight and at the same time, waiting for the new year's countdown.

Mom's fav song, 'Oh! Carol'

What a surprised! My eldest sister and hubby arrived 30 minutes before new year. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Happy New Year 2012! I heard non-stop fire crackers in the air...fuyoooooo!

I'm so lazy to take my bath (I used to when I was a teenager), so I just washed my face, kissed & hugged everyone around me. Definitely I'm hoping for more good news this year, but the most important thing is....to get a driving license! Oh well :P

We went back home around 1.30 am. I'm very tired and ZZZzzz...

The next day, I'm just relaxing at home with hubby and kids. Later that night (1st Jan, 2012), we went to my parents' house again for another gathering and BBQ!

Chicken satay & prawns

Fishes & prawns

More prawns

I ate too much during Christmas and New Year...even though I didn't put on weight, but I feels fat until today! Oh well, how can I say no to BBQ? Prawns? Take a look on the photo below :P

1st round :P

Another karaoke session after dinner, but seems we are in housing area, not 'kampung (village) area', mom reminded us to stop singing by 11.00 pm :(

We continued with the story telling session. Talked about our childhood, our embarrassment moments...he...he...wedding moments and in the end, brain washed la...cuci telinga by our parents! LOL!

I really missed those moments as we really enjoyed our gathering + a karaoke session. Now, I'm counting the days to Chinese New Year holidays. We are planning for another family gathering, but I really hope my dad can join us again this time. Otherwise, I'm thinking about going back to my hometown and give him surprise :)
