On Chinese New Year Eve

helooooo!
it's been two days since i'm back Malacca, and the weather's not been any kinder :/

it's Chinese New Year's eve!
we'd usually stay up late to accompany my gramma usher in the new year, plus lots of snacking, plus lots of TV. hmmmmm :)

woke up early (earlier) this morning to help gramma set up Chinese New Year decors, nose around in the kitchen and captured some really memorable moments :)

the little cartoons woke up early too!
