around the house in 8 days

First lunar new year at the new house. 'New' because we haven't been staying there, and 'new' because it's actually already more than 5 years old.

Some pictures outside of the house.

bamboo that kept on growing and growing...

and it grew and grew till it touched the sky...
lotus and probably small fishes inside there

flower

mulberries, silkworms eats mulberry leaves.. but didn't see any worms though
creepy crawlies to shade the house, but probably will overgrow and takeover the house in a few years time!

It's new year, so gotta have some new year decor.

banner to welcome the new year.. hahaa

new year plant that needs ice cubes to cool it down

these are permanent fixtures.. regardless of season, it'll be there

some colours to brighten the house

putting up the decorations, that's my sis, brother and mom. Me? I worked behind the scenes
time for reunion dinner

Oooh, this year we didn't have steamboat for reunion dinner. Had '鱼生' but with jellyfish instead of raw fish slices. Got nice dishes like fish maw braised with prime ribs, stir fried leek with leftover roasted pork, blue tailed prawns with sauce and deep fried grouper with sweet and sour sauce.
