" Ox-picious, 0x-perous, ox-piness new year!"
Dear Mr Ox,
It has been a pleasure to meet you! The Chinese new year is one of my many favourite times of the year. Yes, ang paw enters the pocket, good food enters the mouth, but what i like most about the spring is the spirit of the celebration itself. It's the time when i get to meet my relatives, to catch live lion dance performances, bet for a black- jack and hop house-to-house for visiting!
Reunion dinner- the most exciting part of welcoming the new year. It's the time my family reunite for a dinner before we usher in the new year. It has been a tradition for ladies to help one another in the kitchen to prepare dinner and the men to be doing last minute clearing of the house. But modernization has altered and we had dinner outside at a restaurant. Though so, the energy and the excitement did not lack a bit!
Goodbye Mr Rat, and Happy Ox New Year! First day and it's time for celebration. My aunties, my uncles, my granduncles, my grandaunties, my cousins, my childhood friends, my friend's friends, my cousin's friend and my high school friends arrived for lunch.
Food haven!Scheduled after lunch is the lion dance performance. I had to rush to get right spots to capture the actions of the lion.
Like last year, we have a red lion. Unlike last year, we have a gold one this time. Lions entertaining youngs.

My school friends! Rarely meet them these days.Mini-casino opens- black-jack, mahjong, poker... The first day is great and more to come, Mr Ox.
Second day- the day when daughters go back to their hometown. To go back to Melaka! Breakfast, hoi-lin, good food! Mini-casino opens again...
Place your bet!
