Happy Yuan Xiao!

Yesterday marks the last day of Chinese Lunar New Year and it gives us another excuse to pig ourselves out have another feast together as a family. Fortunately my inlaws do not really pay a lot of attention to this day and we pretty much just have a normal dinner. Daddy also did not purposely make a trip back since he was travelling.
In Kuching, the eve and last day of CNY are very very very important and many people take leave from work to spend time with the family (except me). To me, these are just normal days lah. Something I enjoy very much on these two days are the fireworks in Kuching. On the eve, it would start at random after reunion dinner, gets bad at around 11pm and peaks at 12am. The fireworks goes off from almost every Chinese household (except mine) and the view is stunning and spectacular. If you close your eyes, you might have comtemplated to run and hide cos it sounds like a war zone.
Are fireworks legal in Sarwak (Malaysia)? Ironically, no, it is actually illegal!!! Huh? Yup, it is so illegal that almost everyone here can actually buy a couple to have fun during this period. For us, we are happy to seat back in the living room with our legs propped up on the couch and not paying a penny to enjoy the fireworks. Seriously, I tried it once and decided it is much more enjoyable and safer to sit back and enjoy. Sofia had actually fallen alseep at around 830pm but it was so noisy that she woke up at 845pm. She was thrilled by the fireworks and refused to sleep till around 10+pm ...
Her cough is still quite bad, wonder if I should bring her to the doc tomorrow night before we head off to KL on Sat morning?
