Normally I kind of dread Chinese New Year.  The heat, the traffic, the obligations.  But this year I was quite looking forward to it because this year we have Fighter!

And no, not because Fighter can help us collect some angpaus in retaliation wtf.

I thought it would be fun to experience Chinese New Year with a family of my own (and in the eyes of a baby!).  Chinese New Year always seemed more fun as a kid with all the playing, angpau and new clothes hehe.

Plus this year I have my Sony Xperia Z1 and it’s key point is the awesome camera.  I especially like it cos when in low light the camera adjusts itself to brighten up and reduce the yellowness that tends to pop up (which I hate).  So I could take nicer photos of everything!  As always, the photos taken with the Z1 are watermarked.

New year red red!  Wah this picture damn ong hahaha.  This was reunion dinner with Fatty’s relatives.

Fighter’s wearing a samfu Mummy Ooi got him.  It’s the smallest she could find and it’s for 1-2 years I think hahaha.  Guess what he’ll be wearing again next year wtf.

Our reunion dinner was in KL because that’s where Fatty’s grandma lives.  The next morning we took a flight back to Penang.

I was quite nervous about Fighter’s first flight.  Horror stories of screaming infants and passengers giving us murderous looks were aplenty in my head wtf.  So I packed the baby sling, in case I needed to carry Fighter the whole time.

Fighter in the sling while waiting for the plane.  Pixelated photo from Fatty’s phone *snobbish

Fighter turned out to be an awesome plane baby!  We popped his pacifier in, and he promptly fell asleep lying on Fatty’s tummy for the entire ride. ^^

Got to Penang and finished preparing angpaus! #queenoflastminute

Who cares about my #ootds!!! Here’s Fighter’s CNY #ootds whoooo any baby brands wanna sponsor Fighter please contact his manager at fourfeetnine at gmail dot com wtf.

Here’s his Chor Yat #ootd.  Hipster or not!!!  Tshirt with bow and suspenders drawn from and tight leggings from Cotton On Baby.

ootd #2 – Checked shirt onesie from Baby Gap, anchor print socks from Cotton On Baby.

Hehe that’s my father in law carrying Fighter.

Oh this one is old Bugs Bunny pajamas.  But Fighter thinks he looks cute here so asked me to post.

Hey I’m in my jammies why you take picture!!!

Oh this is one day where Fatty and I decided we MUST drink Anglia Shandy.  What is CNY without Shandy (and nga ku)!!!

We were at my grandpa’s house and my auntie brought out the Shandy.  Then only we realized sacre bleu Fatty’s parents’ house no Shandy!  So we specially went to 7-11 and buy four cans back to drink wtf.

In this picture we are like “yo let’s get wasted tonight!” *clinks glasses*  We are so loser I cannot.  Hahahaha.

With a slightly grumpy Fighter who woke up for milk then wanted to come downstairs and join the party.  Ten minutes after this he passed out again.

Cute pictures of Fighter rolling around his grandma’s bed!

Second day went back to see my parents!  Who took this picture why so blur *growls

Oh ya it was Fat Her. Hahahaha.

Fighter’s #ootd is Baby Gap denim overalls and Cotton On red tshirt.

Mummy Ooi gave Fighter his angpau.  He gripped it briefly…before letting go.  See the angpau falling in midair hahaha.

Ooh my pastel yellow with white polka dots off shoulder top & skirt set is from Twenty3.  Best part is I can wear both together or wear separately in different outfits!

Went for a very un-CNY lunch at this Korean pasta place at Gurney Paragon.

Grandpa Ooi!  If Fat Her’s nose is anything to go by, my own nose will only get bigger as time passes fml.

One of the cutest moments in Fighter history!  Fatty was playing table tennis with his friend Gin so I brought Fighter down to watch.

He was extremely excited as you can tell.  Dunno what about hahaha cos Gin wasn’t even hitting the ball then.  He saw Gin and started laughing and kicking away.

Laugh until no eyes!

Took some videos of him too!  Him basically being very excited as usual hahaha.

A bit small cos I accidentally resized and don’t know how to reverse it. T________T

Then it was time to go home!

Super kuai on the way home as well.  He took a big dump immediately after we got to our seats on the plane wtf but didn’t make a peep.  He started getting fussy toward the end so I sang Hey Jude to him and he calmed down again.  I am sooooooooooooo lucky!

“Don’t forget I’m here Mommy.”

How was CNY overall with a baby in tow? Really fun!  It was nice bringing him around and showing the relatives who’d all exclaim over how big he is now.  And of course the grandparents all showered him with buckets of attention and care.  Also fun shopping and coordinating outfits for him.  Shopped for Fatty too this year cos I had a feeling he’d forget. (He did.)  A lot of people said their clothes were nice! (actually only one person, my sister in law WTF).  I could still be a personal shopper.

Last photo with Xperia Z1 tagged on it.  Happy Year of the Horse from us!   Fighter is finally looking at the camera and smiling so that pretty much makes this Photo of the Year.

Bonus picture:

Fighter collecting our Tesco groceries from the Tesco delivery guy yesterday.

I’ve been sick (because of him AHEM) so he felt guilty and worried I’m not eating properly.  Mommy not eating well = no milk for Fighter wtf.  So he helped me order from Tesco Online.  So easy a baby could do it. HAHAHAH.
