It is a family tradition which Papa started that he would play the firecrackers first before we have our reunion dinner every year. This year, is the same too.
This year dinner normally cooked by Brother Andrew, Ying Ying and Sister Minah. We had fried fish, stir-fried broccoli with prawns, braised duck which prepared by Mama, fish maw mushroom abalone chicken soup, stir fried tomato egg, stir fired Chinese garlic and chicken curry.
This year all of us sat in one big round dining table. Issac and Annabelle really enjoy Mama’s cooking especially the soup.
After the dinner, I was busy washing the dishes together with Sister Minah cleaned up the kitchen cooking areas as well.
All the children went outside the house and play the firecrackers and fireworks.
We can hear the noise of the firecrackers and fireworks from the neighborhood and the nearby area. Issac played the fireworks together with his older cousins.
The firecrackers and fireworks brighten up the night of the Chinese New Year Eve until to midnight and officially marked the first day of Chinese New Year.
