FollowWe went back to Ipoh for a short weekend stay yesterday. Within 24 hours, we managed to celebrate my 21st birthday and brought the girls to the graveyard for Tomb Sweeping day early this morning… and of course got roasted under the ferocious sun when we reached the third and last tomb to pay respect…

A Glimpse of Chinese New Year 2014
Chinese New Year 2014
We broke our tradition for CNY this year. Every year if the MIL is here, she would cook ‘jai’ (vegetarian food) on the first day of CNY.

Chinese New Year Shopping… Again
