It’s Chinese New Year again and it’s our first one as a family of 5.
Festivities started off with our reunion dinner which was held at Overseas Restaurant Jaya 1. It was a terrible dinner. Our booking was for 8pm and fortunately for us, our table was ready at 8pm but 60% of those who booked for 8pm had to wait for at least 1/2 an hour before their tables were ready.
Why didn’t the restaurant shoo away those who started at 6:30pm? Because they know that the reason everyone is late is because the food was late! Oh yes, the Tiger Year starts off on a heated note.
Our food came fast and all of our surrounding tables gave us knife-edged stares as we tossed our yee sang while they drank away their hunger with some lukewarm Chinese tea. Most of them only started on their yee sang when we were already on the 4th course 
It was until our dessert that we had a taste of what our neighbours went through. We waited for more than an hour for our dessert to arrive. In the end, we did not bother and we left without ever seeing our dessert!
Incompetent restaurant manager. Must call the HQ to complain
Daddykhong & Aerynn trying very hard to smile
1st day of the New Year – visiting the relatives
Our 2 girls at their Ma-Ma’s (paternal grandmother) house
Do you like my pink shoes? They are softer than Crocs!
Sam Suk (daddykhong’s youngest brother) trying very hard to pass on his kuaci-loving tastebuds to the older 2 kids. He did a good job. Braedyn can now bite open soft kuaci
On the night of the first day, we left KL at 11:30pm and drove up to Tapah to visit more relatives (both daddykhong and myself have relatives there). We arrived at 1am the next morning and stayed for 4 days.
Singing Chinese karaoke at Gong-Gong’s (maternal grandfather) house. It was so bad, everyone left the room!
