My mum always refers to the Lunar Calendar and insists that we are all older...hahaaa. Unlike our mathematical way of counting age based on birthday (eg. a child only grow by another year old upon reaching the next birthday), according to the Chinese' way of calculating age, the moment a baby is born into the world, he/she is automatically 1 year old, and at every next Lunar New Year, the child's age will increase by another year. Thus 15-month-old Raychelle suddenly "skips" to 3 years old... I find this rather amusing...just imagine the vast difference between a 15 month-old & a 36 month-old toddler! Well, since my mum says so, so be it! =)
Take a look at how "3-year-old" Raychelle celebrates her 2nd Chinese New Year...
Part 1: CNY Eve Reunion Dinner @Function Room of Compass Height
Raychelle already had her porridge dinner at home before going for the "4-Generations Reunion Dinner" with daddy's extended family, thus she just spent her time roaming about while the rest ate!
Part 2: CNY Day 1
Raychelle wearing new clothes, new socks, new shoes & carrying new bag on the 1st day of CNY
At my parents' house...notice that Raychelle had a change of outfit? The cheong sam was too hot for her, so I changed her into another new dress which was bought by her Ah Mah in Bangkok last year when she was only 3 month old.
At the house of Raymond's Grandma who is Raychelle's Great Grandma aka "Lao Mah"..
Part 3: CNY Day 2 (We visited Raymond's Gu Gu)
Part 4: CNY Day 4 (We visited Raymond's Maternal Grandpa, Da Yi, then we went to my mum-in-law's house)
On the 4th day of CNY when darling was sending me to work, I told him that ever since I've grown up to be an adult, it has been really a long time since I had so much fun & enjoyed CNY ... it's no doubt that a child can bring so much joy to the family!
Praise & thank the Lord for the gift of Raychelle!
