Finally its the Ox year! We had our reunion dinner at home on New Year eve and as usual, we are having steamboat. This year, we had told our mum not to prepare too much food as our stomach "ullage" cannot hold too much now. Not like when we are younger, we can eat and eat without stopping. Perhaps due to we are older now, we can't eat as much compared to few years ago.
First day of the lunar year, we went to our aunt house together with my sister family and my brother-in-law god sister family. Strange to hear my brother-in-law god sister family visiting my aunt? Well they know each other quite well during events like my niece's birthday or short trip to Malaysia etc.
We played blackjack with the kids and thought that we can't win their money too much as worried that they will cry if they lost. But.... it ended up the kids are the ultimate winner! With just 0.50 cents capital, they can win more than $30! My cousin won $58! Where did the money come from??? Its from my sister and brother in law. Guessed they lost around $100. My younger sister also lost around $40. Luck is with me this year. I won about $35. Hee hee...
However, we strongly emphasized to the kids that only once a year we can play blackjack and they can only play with us and not with their friends or outsiders.
Hope this year will be a smooth year for me. Cheers!
