Day 1 of the Lunar Year of the Rat.
A happening day for me indeed. The usual routine each year on the first day, woke up early and then go for prayers in the temple. Then back home for breakfast and the usual photography at the living room that I have been doing since 2006.

Then of course the annual gathering with my primary and secondary schoolmates, some of them with their spouse and children in the early afternoon.

Another gathering at Seok Leng’s house in the late afternoon, a popular place for those with itchy hands during Chinese New Year. However, some of us would just spend our time there chit chatting.
Finally, dinner with my family and relatives where we have our lao sheng (捞生).
