Happy Chinese New Year

The Ongies would like to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year to everyone.

May this Dragon year HUAT to everyone out there.


21 Jan (Saturday)

Before Chinese New Year, The Ongies decided to head down to Chinatown and take a stroll and view the goodies. This is the first time Clar is joining them, so hubby by hook or by crook will definitely bring them there and walk.

In order to prevent the congested human traffic, they went around noon time instead of evening. At least it is 30% less pack.

The sun is pretty good, not as hot and stuffy as they thought.

It had been a long time since they walked here. Although the items are more or less the same for every CNY, but the important thing will be the - mood.

There are quite a number of people on street even though the sun is hot. but that did not stop them from shopping at all!

Chinese New Year - Dragon Year (23rd Jan - Monday)

It is the brand new year for all Chinese this year, and a big one! Because of this is the year of dragon!

On this day, the Ongies decided to get up early in the morning, and prepare to head out for praying first. This had been going on for 3 years. They found that it is much efficient. At least, they can go home after that and get themselves clean up before going visiting.

From the first year till date, the timing had been dragged from 6.45am till 8am. Partly everyone was so shag out the day before and it is pretty hard to wake the two kids up.

It is starting to get crowded. But still relatively ok at that time.


So they went home after praying at three temples.

The last stop of the day - Grandma house.
This year, this house is getting crowded and noisier - more kids!

The attention are not on adults but the kids. Clar seem to get a lot of attention, even her cousin seem to dote her a lot!

Cait and Clar knew that they were outside and there are just too many people around; they will not sleep at all!

So, when they reached home, both of them put up white flag and dive into the dreamland since 5pm. But, Cait woke up at 7pm to eat, and finally gave in at 9pm again.

It seem so peaceful when they are sleeping. A lot quieter which they have not hear or feel for years. Now, they must train Cait and Clar to sleep by 9pm daily. So everyone are able to do their things efficiently - be it housework or work.
