CNY 2011 ~ Year of Rabbit

This Chinese New Year (CNY) post is long overdue but I thought it would be nice to post something anyway.

To summarize, besides the two dinners with friends, we didn't do much for this year. Ian fell sick on the 4th day of CNY so basically the whole NY was spent taking care of him. And I was ill one week later so there gone our celebration. Check out some of our photos below to find out how we spent our new year.

Despite the unlucky start, let's hope that this rabbit year is going to be a great one, bringing joy and good luck to everybody.


Reunion dinner - vegetarian steamboat at friend's apartment


CNY 1st night - kailan beef, steamed fish, ginseng chicken soup, braised fish maw with pork ribs, butter prawn and roast duck. We had dinner at home with friends.

Little fellow spent half of his day in hospital after being diagnosed with bacteria infection which caused bronchitis. They undressed him because of the fever.
