Happy Winter Solstice Festival by aunty loh

Finally, i am back from KL after one week heavy outstation work. This time, i come back to Ipoh at Saturday (after half day work) instead of stay back at KL to accompany Uncle Chan in KL until Sunday. One of the reason is because i wish to celebrate Winter Solstice Festival （冬至 ) togather with my family members. I enjoy the moment where all family members are sitting together on a one big round table having dinner, chit-chatting and sharing each others recent life. But sadly, my sister and little brother did not come back to home this time Luckily, my elder brother still able to come back home

Today is a busy day. Early in the morning, my mum wake us up and all of us are going to have breakfast at “Fat Si Fu” Dim Sum Restaurant. (This restaurant is introduced by uncle chan, and later we whole family used to have dim sum at there. HeHe. The taste is good and the most importantly the seat is SUFFICIENT. We do not have to waste time waiting for seat like MingKok) Then, we proceed to Ipoh Parade have a short  walk. My brother hunts for new year shirt.

My elder brother have a try on the SUB T-Shirt while i am giving professional judgement in fitting room
