GONG XI FA CHYE! Happy Lunar New Year!

It was the first day of Chinese New Year! Mummy bought Little Darling a pair of very nice traditional New-Year clothes in red with embroidery of dragon patterns.

After breakfast, we played with little darling at home for a while. We were preparing to go ah mah house to ‘bai nian’. We intended to stay there for few days because many ah yi-s and cousins would be there! I hoped that our little one could play and enjoy himself in the company of grandparents, aunties and cousins while I could catch up with my family.

It was already noon when we reached ah mah home. Ah yi-s were so happy to see the little one that they rushed to carry him. In the midst of all these actions, suddenly Little Darling wailed loud, shocked daddy and mummy who were taking lunch at the dining table! I quickly rushed to the living room to take a look at him. His mouth was bleeding and he was crying out loud in pain! My youngest sister was carrying him at that moment; I quickly took him over to see what was happening to him. There was a cut at the inside of his lower lip!

My 2nd sister's 2-years’ old daughter was pinching his mouth and had gashed it! Our poor Little Darling was crying out with all his might. He must have never been that painful before in his life! We tried to ‘sayang’ him and stop the bleeding. He was inconsolable and cried for almost half an hour before he could calm down. He had a bad fright with this sudden attack. He cried out loudly again thereafter whenever he saw this little cousin (who hurt him just now) go near him! His lower lip was swollen for few days after that!
