Revelling in the Year of the Rat

We ushered in the Year of the Rat in Penang. Reunion dinner was at my 4th maternal grandaunt's with a gathering of about 25 family members. There were lots of food and fun. Yee Yee was back from Australia and Aileen managed to get leave to be around for the New Year celebrations. Yay :-) !

The first day of Chinese New Year saw us in church before doing the traditional 'new year rounds'. In the afternoon, we went to Butterworth to spend time at home.

The second day of Chinese New Year saw us back home in Menglembu. We visited Thai Gu in Air Kuning and Chia Poh in Pusing on the third day.
