Family and Chinese New Year 2017
The year 2017 is the year the 5 of us have been in Jakarta for a good FIVE years since we last moved from Singapore.
That means, we’ve spent the last 5 years seeing our bigger family (my side and Wilson’s) more frequently than we usually did when we lived away from Indonesia.
I’d like them to grow up knowing their grandparents, and extended familiesWhich btw is a good thing. Especially for the kids, because I’d like them to grow up knowing their grandparents, and extended families.
(Before we moved to Jakarta, they only got to see their grandparents for a total of may be, 15 – 20 days a year. Not enough.)
Anyway.
In this post, I’d like to share some photos of my side of the family.
Photos I don’t share often, I guess.
So here they are.
This is my side of the family.
My parents, my eldest sister, brother in law and his Dad, my grandmother (who is 92yo), my aunty (my mom’s older sister), my sister and her son.
And this is one of the things we always do every Chinese New Year.
Get together, over FOOD.
=)
And of course, on the 15th day after Chinese New Year day (Cap Go Meh), we do some ‘prosperity tossing’ of this ‘fish salad’, as pictured above (‘Yu Sheng’)
Anyway.
We wish you a wonderful new year spent with loved ones.
May every blessing is received with grateful hearts and shared with others joyfully.
