CNY : Welcoming The Dragon Year

Every CNY, we will balik kampung to my grandma's in Malacca. This year is no exception to us, although my cousins will not be around. Their grandma (their father's side) passed away recently and it's a custom to not celebrate CNY the following year. Since they can't celebrate, give and receive any ang paus, the whole family decided to go to Genting instead! Bestnya..

Hubby, Aleesya and I headed to Malacca on the eve of CNY. It took us about 2 hours from Nilai.. The traffic wasn't that bad, but there was so many cars; it slowed us down a bit. We stayed at the same boutique hotel in town (3 years in a row already), just so we can roam around Dataran Pahlawan, Mahkota Parade and the new mall opposite Dataran Pahlawan (alamak, sudah lupa) for our last minute shopping.

So hapy, not angry

I just love Aleesya in this attire..
so cheerful!

That night, we met up with my family (my mom and my sis' family) and had our dinner at the famous Sungai Duyung. Much had been said about their seafood, but it's just word of mouth.. Nothing to shout about la, rasanya kat Bagan Lalang lagi sedap..  We were soooo disapointed by the food and the service... we had to line up for a table, and waited some more for someone to clean it, had to line up again to order and waited some more for the food to come.. and finally when it arrives, it's not like we expected.. huhu.. There's always first time to everything kan? And last time too... So, this is the 1st and last time for us here...

The entrance line...

Another line to order food... gosh!
