CNY 2018 @ Tampin

This Chinese New Year is different. Instead of going to eldest sister house for reunion dinner on CNY eve, we went back to Tampin for the reunion dinner. After praying the Buddha and ancestors, we left home around 12.30pm. Surprisingly there was no traffic jam along the major highway. We arrive Tampin about 2pm. Was suppose to do last minute car polishing but ended up only waxing. After dinner, kids were the happiest ones as they can play fire works. 

Xuan is happily playing with the fireworks.

Happily playing with their cousins.

Could not stop the fun of holding the fireworks.



Han & Xuan slept quite late on CNY eve since they hardly had the chance to play fireworks with their cousin. I was like a pig, slept early....😀

On the 1st day of CNY morning, after breakfast, we went to a temple for praying.

A temple located nearby in-laws house and not many people since it's in a small town.

The winners from the school kids for drawing competition organized by this temple.

Both are wearing the same skirts bought by their grand-mother.

Photo with their mom and grand-mother before we say bye bye to the temple.

Found this stall opened at one of the shop lot, very good business since mostly all the Chinese shops and stalls were closed during CNY.

After lunch, we came to this temple. An annual event for me during CNY.

Free herbs water for the devotees, it was tasteless, just like a normal drinking water but help to reduce body's heat.

Kids were curious about something out there.

Fun time for the kids.

Let's see who can run faster.

Of course Han runs fastest but where is your water bottle ?

 This flower is beautiful but don't know what is the name.


After dinner, it's fireworks time and of course kids like it the most.

Mmmm....it's too close to the car.

Han was initially afraid to lights up the fireworks but after seeing her cousin did it for a few times, she braved herself to try and of course later it became a history. 😃

 

 They still like this the most.

 On 2nd day of CNY, we went to Malacca Qing Yun Ting temple. So many cars on the Jonker Street here. Weather was extremely hot though it was only about 10am.

People mountain people sea.

Many devotees are here waiting for the chanting session to begin.

Devotees are submitting the names to the master.

The oldest temple in Malaysia.

Xuan hardly could open her eyes when taking photo. 😁

After the temple visit, we went to Aeon in Malacca. CNY decoration still attract many to take photo.

 
Photo with a big Dog :)

 Lunch at The Garden Recipe Cafe. Han ordered her favorite food.

Where is Han ? Hiding or enjoying her food ? :)

Xuan finished her rice and chips ! 👍

Everyone is enjoying the food here.

Soba vege noddle soup

 Wife ordered a set of this.

Before going back to Shah Alam, kids still wanted to play the fireworks.

 See how enjoys Xuan is 😃

Han wanted to draw a pattern with this.

Pretty girls, almost time up to go home....

We left Tampin about 9.30pm. Using Waze, we saw there was heavy jam along the highway, we avoid that by taking the old road. But somehow still a minor jam at certain areas, we used a new road leading to Bandar Ainsdale new toll and exit back to Plus highway before Nilai. Traffic was smooth along the way and reached home about 11pm. Kids were already having sweet dreams in the car, they were too tired after having a great 2 days at Tampin.
