18 Feb 2015 ~ 'Twas The Night Before The Lunar New Year

With our busy and hectic lives, we gathered at our home for a simple Reunion dinner. Due to work commitments, Sam wasn't able to join us. With the flurry of excitement, planning and running back and forth, I didn't have time to take many pictures.
 
Loh Hei. A tradition in my home. Here we are putting it together. It's no mean feat.
 
 
 
It's like a little show-and-tell as well. This is Alex wishing us "Da ji Da li!" which according to the internet, means "good luck and good sailing".
 
Cliff wishing everyone "Cai Yuan Guan Ching" which means "numerous sources of wealth"
 
After a gazillion good wishes later, it was time to toss the prosperity salad.
 
 
 

 
The after math. 
For the next 2 hours, electronic gadgets were forgotten, we all sat, ate, chatted about everything under the sun (and moon) and just enjoyed each other's company.
I'd like to thank Angie, Sam and little Iesha, Philina, Randall and Denise, Alex, Cliff and Josh and my family for being part of our get-together.
I wish you all
