Ox-picious Niu Year

This year we were in Menglembu for our reunion dinner. It was quieter than previous years and we actually didn't visit any relatives, although some relatives came to the house.

Our little outings included breakfast at the nearby coffee shops, a trip to Tesco, a short drive to an open area for Julian to play and see monkeys, and a trip to the fun fair.

It was Julian's first fun fair and he had a good time. He had three rides:

• the train with Gabriel and Chui Ying Sok Meh
  
• the ferries wheel with Gabriel and Daddy
  
• the rocket with Gabriel.

We were quite worried for him here because of his fear of the rides at shopping malls. But he was very relaxed and even waved at us. Cousin Gabriel was a really good Kor-kor, holding Julian's hand throughout the ride. I think that helped a lot :-)

The second day of Chinese New Year saw us back in Butterworth. Here, Julian enjoyed playing with and feeding the chickens. The whiteboard was also a favourite.

Aileen was back on the third day of Chinese New Year and it was good to have the whole family together. It's been quite a while since we gathered because of differing holiday schedules. Antonia was back a few days before the festivities.
