This time for CNY, spend most of my time at my husband's hometown in Johor. Did not go back to Sabah coz not in a condition to fly (sniff, sniff.....8 months pregnant already). At first, we decided to drive back to Johor early in the morning on CNY eve, then my husband suddenly decided after arriving back from work that we should drive back to Johor ton that night itself (the night before CNY eve). Thank goodness there was no traffic jam, smooth sailing and arrived his hometown 10.30pm.
Chinese New Year Eve
Husband and his family all went to the temple to pay respect to their ancestor, I was not urged to go coz of my pregnancy condition. So, while waiting for them to come back, called my family back home and chit chat for a while. For lunch, went to hubby's eldest house to eat fried noodle and fried pork balls. After lunch, played Black Jack...hehe. Then evening time, collected cater food from a chinese restaurant and brought it to the eldest aunt house. Meet all of alex's family members where some came all the way from Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur. They were oohing and aahing my bulging tummy....and some even say i put on much weight and look so chubby. I receive the comment with a smile. After dinner, back to Black Jack!

Lunch time, back to eldest aunt;s house and play Black Jack. Later, it was time to visit the eldest uncle's house and later on back to alex's parents house where the relatives came over.

3rd Day Chinese New Year
This time, relatives came over to alex's parents house for lucnh where my mum in law prepared fried bi hun and fried rice and relatives brought over peking duck (yum yum). After lunch, played Black Jack. Dinner time, had something very different, the family ordered nasi briyani with mutton and chicken. Hmmm...had 2 big plates of nasi briyani (overeating guilt). After dinner, last round of Black Jack.....then before midnight, bid farewell to everyone.
In conclusion, had a great time....and baby in my tummy put on 1.2 kg from all the eating. Now have to go on a diet a bit :p
