Easter Day

 

We were extremely busy during Easter this year. In the morning, we prepared a basket of blueberries crumble cupcake for the Elderly Sisters at Infant Sister Jesus Home Balik Pulau.

 

 

 

In the evening, we had an  Easter Party to celebrate the confirmation of FIL and baptism of two other church members. Coincidently, It was the birthday of another church member.

 

A cupcake tower made by mummy - strawberry cake on top and blueberries cupcake. 

 

 

 Gugu and another church member organized a treasure hunt for the children. Before the treasure hunt started, they coloured their bags. The kids really enjoyed themselves.

Second day of CNY

We went to Ah Cho's house on the second day of CNY, a family gathering with ah ma's brothers, sisters and all the cousins & relatives.

 

After the lunch gathering, we went to gong gong and popo's house. During Chinese New Year, it is a tradition in gong gong and popo's house that we wish them with new year greetings before receiving our and pau.
