Report on CNY 2008

4 Feb 2008

Spent a whole day in JB with hubby's father-side relatives, it's my first time there. He has 5 uncles...and many many cousins. Some of his cousins already have 2 to 3 kids...a lot right? =) haha..so there were many kids running about in the whole house. Had a great time there...although it was a long day and we had to give out quite number of angbaos. The tricky part was, the kids were running here and there and we had to make sure we did not miss out any of them =) The males sat around a table for dinner..followed by the females who sat around another table. Interesting. Thank God I felt comfortable with all of them. It was a wonderful experience spending the eve of CNY with a whole family of believers.

Woke up late in the morning...visited parents-in-law in Sengkang and headed off to his maternal grandparents' place. Again, had to give out angbaos to his many cousins. The difference is that we are the oldest among his cousins...most of them are still in their teenage years. =) Shortly thereafter, we headed to my own parents' place where my relatives gathered. I had fun, but unfortunately hubby fell ill so he was sleeping quite a bit in the day.

After 2 longs days of visiting...finally we managed to catch some good rest. Woke up rather late, enjoyed some homemade breakfast...had our morning devotion together... (we felt such a great need to be quiet before God after 2 days of much celebration and fun). Headed off to IKEA..bought some stuff which we now realise might not be that suitable.. ARGH! =(..then parents-in-law and WJ came over for steamboat and we had some good family time together.

Well..it's been great..and thank God for sustaining us with strength and grace as we meet up with so many people. More activity to come in the next 2 days.. fun...but hopefully we will not forget He who made us =)
