Visited my parents first. We still carry on the tradition of serving tea to my parents before receiving our angpows. I don't think many families hold on to this tradition any more, so it's kind of special.
This is the tea set that my parents used on their wedding day to serve tea.
Then we went with my parents and brother to my aunt's house in Subang Jaya for lunch. My aunt loves to cook and there was so much food leftover! Took home some of her lovely cake and roast chicken.
Next we visited my cousin and his family, also in Subang Jaya. Had a wonderful time catching up. This cousin and I are only 1 year apart in age and we used to play together when we were little. It was fun reminiscing about the naughty things we did during Chinese New Year!
Later in the evening we went to my mom-in-law's sister's place in Segambut for dinner. Ate a lot...I think my new clothes are going to get tight very, very soon...with the way I am eating and eating!
