The Eve, The First And Second Day Of Chinese New Year 2016

CHINESE NEW YEAR CAME AND WENT... It is a time of celebration with my love ones again, this year is slightly different because Aaron is not with us for this festive season.  Anyway, for each gathering we went to, his name was always brought up one way or another... I guess his ear must be tingling even though he is thousands of miles away... hahahaa...

For Chinese New Year Eve dinner, this year we had our reunion with my own family and siblings...
Before we partake the food, we had a short worship of Thanksgiving....
We did not cook a lot this year...
But the food was more than enough...
A picture to comm
Our CNY Eve gathering.....
On the first day my kids and I went to my in-laws' relative side for reunion....
Endless replenishing of food... 
Second day of CNY, we had our meal at my in-laws....
I "contributed" one dish as usual... 
And I was so glad that it was all wiped out... 
hahahahaa... 
The Eve, First and Second Day of Chinese New Year comes and goes...
But the Family Bonding will continue to stay...
More Food Gathering continues....

    People asking about Aaron? Bet the question would be whether he has a girlfriend already or not, right? LOL!!!

    I always enjoy the family gathering during CNY. Your CNY looks very "lau juak" and there is so much good homely food.

    CNY is a time of family bonding and feasting. When the family is big, everything seems to be tastier and finish faster. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
