This year Chinese New Year celebration was the first for Daniel. It was also the “adventure” experience for me and Cyril as this was the first time we traveled with our little one. Just imagine the car was packed with Daniel’s stuffs. From formula milk to pampers, toys to clothes just for 4 days stay at my mom’s kampong – Tenom (3 hours journey from KK). But we took 4 hours to arrive our destination – baby on board!
We expected that Daniel will keep on crying and unable to sleep because of the new environment and new faces (He never met some of my cousins who are staying in Tenom and
Every year we will go back to Tenom to celebrate CNY. I can say that it is a big family gathering for us because my QQs and their family also will be there. We stayed under one roof – 6 families all together. We had our lunch and dinner together everyday during our stay.
This year celebration was much merrier as there were two additions in the family – Daniel and his one year old uncle. Both of them were born in 2008 two months apart. Oh..nephew and uncle…..next year there’ll be two naughty monkeys running here running there…
In Tenom, we wore only t-shirt and short, very simple as you can see in the pix. We never buy new clothes just to celebrate CNY. We’ll re-wear our Christmas attires. Why need to spend to get those fancy and expensive clothes. No one will even notice if you wear prada here. That’s one thing I love about kampong besides the clean and fresh weather.

Hi Natalia..Welcome back!
Such lovely photos u hv there back in kg.. I too missed my kg so much, but this yr didn't manage to go back as lots of kids are sick there - so they told me not to go back. :(
Looks like u hv an ez bb there ya... Daniel is such an obedient child, and not fussy either.... I think he loves the fresh air & weather there too ya!
I do agree with u, why wanna buy new clothes just for CNY.. What matters is we r comfortable with what we are wearing. Besides, if we r at home the whole day.. haha... I don't think I'm gonna wear fancy clothes... just my big Ts & shorts....
hi dear, welcome back!
wow 6 families under one roof! i am sure u had a warm and cosy CNY with ur loved ones.
Esmeralda - Don't be so sad. Nxt year sure you can balik kg. Where is your kg? From your blog, I know that your grandma, aunts & cousins did visit you. And you have baked very yummy muffins for them. Well done.
I'm lucky Daniel was well-behaved during the 4 days stay in kg. My QQ not so lucky because his 1 year old son was very very cranky. He didn't want to sleep even after midnight and keep on crying. Poor baby. He not used with the environment.
Agree with you Es, Big Ts & shorts more comfortable.
Kristie - Yes dear, I'm very happy celebrating my CNY with them.
nice celebration!~
