We went for another round of Chinese New Year visiting today. It's the 4th day of CNY ("chu shi") today so this would probably be the final Chinese New Year visitation photos since no one really goes visiting on the 5th day ("chu wu") unlike in the old days. I hear people visit up till Chap Goh Meh (15th day) in the past. Anyway, here's the three houses we visited today:
Hie Yieng's house
L-R: Ting Chuan, Ah Ping, Huai Bin (me), Hie Yieng, Siew Fua.
I'm the one in black attire.
Hie Yieng is a friend from my college days in Sibu. I used to study at MPI which was where I met Siew Fua too. I think we kept Hie Yieng waiting from 10 am till 1:15 pm...she was planning to head out when we wanted to visit. Oops. :)
Winnie Ha's house
Winnie is the one in blue.
I haven't seen Winnie since she went to LA six years ago. We were from the same primary school and went to the same high school as well. It was great to catch up with her after all these years - found out that she was in KL and also in Melbourne at the same time I was, albeit the interlap was just a couple of days. She's in Melbourne now. It's always good to catch up with old friends after a long time. :)
Ming Tze's house
Ming Tze is the one in the middle.
Ming Tze is also another old friend from primary school and we were in the same class in high school. I think the last time we met up and talked was two years ago. She's also based in Kuching and I'll be working there starting February so there's a good opportunity to catch up. :)
It's been a great Chinese New Year! I'm glad I came back. :)
