Chinese New Year 2010 In Malacca & Happy Valentine's Day!!!

恭喜发财,万事如意!
Chinese New Year celebrations in Malacca this year...  We were all ready for our trip early in the morning as we drove up in 2 cars....

It is Amanda's first time celebrating CNY in Malacca, and she thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.... and when I asked her why she enjoyed, she told me she had so much fun playing with Samantha, Joshua and Brandon together with Darren....  :))
first stop, lunch at beizhan restaurant...  the restaurant now looks so posh in their new location...

dad & mum a.k.a. kongkong and mama.....
the sim family....
the wong family....
the couzzies.....
our yu sheng...  looks good, but doesn't taste as good as it looks....  still prefer the yu sheng mum makes...
prosperity new year dish....
herbal chicken with some auspicious meaning too...
love this dish... prawn with salad sauce and pork floss...  yums!  prawns symbolises laughter and happiness.....  笑哈哈
crispy duck which came with very delicious black pepper sauce.....
lawrence cutting up the duck....  oh yes, their homemade soya bean rawks!...  i had 2 cups of it during lunch....  best!
after checking into our hotel room...  we booked 3 rooms, but only dad & mum's room was ready, so all of us rested in their room whilst waiting for ours to be ready...  look at how happy the kids are!!!
we love the space of this room...  comes with hall, kitchenette and bedroom....
view from the room...  pool view and sea view...  how relaxing...
another photo before we move over to our own room...
back to nature....
amanda told me she enjoyed herself so much when ee teoh brought her out for a short field trip...  she told me "mummy, i enjoyed my exploration very much.  it was a very good experience which i have never experienced before".....
my young couzzies who arrived malacca a few hours before us....  i love the outfit she is wearing... must get the address from her and get a set tailored for myself too... heehee......

Though this trip was kinda rush, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, especially the family bonding session with all generations where everyone from all over the globe gathered to meet in Malacca... 

This trip could have been better if not for the fact that Daddy's car's air-con broke down (humph! should have driven my car instead of his)...  which explains why I wasn't wearing any of my CNY clothes in Malacca...  too HOT and no mood to dress up...
