2nd day of CNY pics

So 2nd day of CNY brought more lo hei...more snacking and the traditional game of gin rummy. Usually the gambling begins the night before but this year all the kids were getting old and decided that playing through the night wasn't going to happen... so we tried to make up for lost time at Twa Kim's house before dinner... a couple of rounds of blackjack later and I figured we'd better progress to gin rummy cos the luck was not with us. heh.

The older generation was not out in full force for gin rummy. My dad and aunty angie are the king and queen of the game.. but he had to bail to get ready for their friends who were coming over and she was "ban-chan"ing us.. ie giving us a chance by playing without money. hah. Tis a pity. Hopefully we can get them all out for a game today. We're having them come over today so hopefully they can all be coaxed to sit down with a full deck. heh.

So after plenty of eating (dim sum with mamah at Da Dong at chinatown for lunch, snacking all afternoon and then dinner at my aunt's), the 2nd day drew to a close.. here are the pics...

Elodie and Vee - I have never seen a kid who likes the camera more.. Wesley likes the camera itself, Elodie likes having her picture taken!
