" Reminder : Don't forget to put cheese all around your house so that the rats will come. They are the Prosperity Rat, Good Health Rat, Happiness Rat, Lucky Rat and the Year Earth Rat. Gong Xi Fa Chai, and lets not shoo these rats"Dear Rat,
It's your year this year, and i bet it'll bring lots of joy and happiness. May you flood my family with everything good, but don't get me wrong- i'm not trying to be greedy. It's what we call 'share' and we'll share amongst ourselves, and may you bring more cheese to fill our stomachs!
To celebrate your arrival... this is what we did!
As early as 8, we were awaken by the sounds of the drums from my neighbours. We did some last minute clear-up to beautify the house, and await my uncles, aunties, and cousins. The casino soon began, and they started to gamble. I didn't gamble much as i don't really favour it., in fact, i only started to gamble later part of the evening.

The flowers in my house, and that's not all.About 12.30pm, the lunch buffet prepared by my mum opened, and soon we filled our stomach with the delicious food and thirst-quenching drink. My friends arrived on time, as they had said. Absent-minded, i forgot to take a picture with them. By 1 something, the lion dance troupe came and started their mind -blowing performance amplified by the fire red lion! Enjoy the photos...

Lion entering the house!
Make way for the lion in the house, in motion, praying
... on the 'climbing' performance, trying to retrieve the veg...
Ground performance...
Throwing the orange from one lion to the other
Observing the floor
One, doing business, while the other awaits and entertained the guests
This was the 'business' the lion did! Wonderfully shaped...
Photography session...
There won't be a CNY if there's no firecrackers!
Goodbye, lions. May we meet again next year, and years to come! You guys did a fabulous job, and no doubt for the thunderous claps after your fantastic performance. "The lion and the dance this year's nice," commented by my aunt!It was after that did i started to gamble. Time ticked, and soon it was night. Some guests stayed for dinner, and later made a move back home. Day 1, wonderful! And stay glued for more, as i soon post about the other days, piece by piece, and that's for you to check out. Ecstatic, wc08, to be continue, and chat with you soon too, Mr Rat!
