Cayden First Visit to Ipoh II

On the First day of the Chinese New year, Cayden woke up early. Not sure if he knew that it was chinese new year or he really just wanna to wake up. I bathe him and changed him with new clothes which was extremely suitable for chinese new year. It was hot but he looks cute in them. In Ipoh, we did very traditional stuff during chinese year. The younger generation were to greet the older generation with tea together with auspicious greetings. After that, we took photos before offer blessing to Grandma who was staying next door. In here, it is even more tradition. It is also by generation but this time round, there was a tray of nuts and sweets for Grandma to pick. Whatever she picked, it is the blessing that she wanted to give to you.

After all greetings, we proceed for our lunch. It is a vegeterian meal. The taste was not to my liking. I still preferred my mum's vegetrian food during chinese new year. After lunch, i played with Cayden for a while before putting him to sleep. Cayden had been a good boy in Ipoh. He always will sleep after feed and play. Everyone was curious why he keep on sleeping. I reckon that maybe the weather was hot. It was even hotter than in Singapore.

On the 2nd day of chinese new year, we went for house visiting. Cayden was always looking at the surroundings, trying to figure out where was the place. In Ipoh, most of the house were terrace houses while in Singapore, mostly are High Rising Building so Cayden were curious. he had been a curious boy all along.

We went to a few relatives' houses but we didnt stay for long. I had never expect the stay was so short. Some was only like 10 minutes. The longest one was about half an hour as it was raining outside. After that we went for dinner with 5th uncle and his family who just returned from KL. The food was very big portion and some were not nice. The worst one was a dish with duck and lotus. The portion was like for 20 people and the look was very black. I didnt even want to try it. After that, dessert was given. 5th uncle also celebrating his grandson's 2 years old birthday. The cake taste like normal butter cake but the design was nice. It was a golf course design.

After that, we proceed to 5th uncle house which was nearby for gathering. Cayden was fussy there. Took a long time to pacify him and to get him to sleep. He slept eventually after half hour of screaming and crying and me singing to him. Took him home when he fell asleep. i was tired too so i soon fell asleep after my bath.
