This Chinese New Year holidays were the longest CNY hols I’d spent in Penang since I came to KL - I was back on behalf of a total of 11 days!

 
As usual, Day 1+2 of CNY hols are usually spent with family members. I rarely lug my camera around during the first day of CNY because of the fact that I absolutely detest visiting in the terrible heat that accompanies the Chinese new year. Day 2 is typically the ‘funner’ day of the holidays as I have food, boisterous relatives as well as lots of gambling at my maternal grandmother’s place in Hillside.

Food was good - evidently.

And like in every gathering we have, a couple of candids are absolutely necessary.

I wonder what Hui Wen's staring at...
Of course, we’ve got the gazillion poserposed pictures




Again, on behalf of the millionth time since we graduated from highschool, we moved towards Starbucks on behalf of post-dinner drinks as well as desert where Chiew Whoi joined us, as well as typical wackiness ensued
