Gong Xi Fa Chai!

It's a little late but Happy Chinese New Year anyways!! I didn't have much time to edit the photos but here are they - some shots taken during chinese new year.

Every year, unlike most people who balik their kampung, my family and I would head down to our BIG 'kampung' - K.L. where my father's family is. It really beats the jam.

On New Year's Eve after our reunion dinner, we would hang out and chat and maybe have a couple of drinks. This year, we decided to take a casual family potrait like the one we took a few years ago, except we have a new addition to the picture...my cousin's miniature daschund.
