It's been a great year 2023 after all despite all ups and downs, however we are pleased to celebrate our wins in 2023 with this last meal at Hai Di Lao with our close family.
Au revoir 2023, thank you for the life lessons and experiences !

12 o'clock midnight the fire works were dancing in the sky mark the new year.
We spent the New Year at home.
In the morning, we had New Year mass together in the church.
The homily from Fr Antony stroke me most. His message was a strength for me. It's the feast of Mary Mother of God.
He told us that why the church celebrate Mary, Mother of God in the beginning of the year, it's because we need Mother Mary's intercession to pray for us so that we could gain strength and wisdom from God and able to journey this unknown year.
There are two things that we could learn from Mother Mary.
1. Pray faithfully - Rosary prayer
Prayer is a source of strength, wisdom and peace. By praying, it shows that we are humble enough to let God in charge in our life.
2. Stay in the foot of the cross
Mother Mary was not the one hung in the cross because she's not God, but her obedient to stay with Jesus in the food of the cross shows her faithfulness.
"Be done to me according to God's will and not my will"
After that we had family lunch at Din Tai Fung
We stayed late and attended Holy Cross Zoom party while papa is in the church for the task.
On the first day of New Year, we attend mass as it's the Solemnity of Mother Mary and we ask God's grace and blessing and Mother Mary's intercession to start a new year.
These are our last meals together to end year 2021. We had zhi zar at Punggol settlement after our evening cycling.
And dimsum dinner at home to end year 2021.
Au revoir !
This year is really special, we celebrate Christmas and New Year eve with our family in Singapore only.
We are hosting thanksgiving lunch inviting our close family and relatives at our home sweet home.
We cooked western food, pizza, macaroni schotel, tropical salad, calamari rings and bought baked chicken. Everyone is happy and delighted.
Hopefully next year will bring more hope, joy, peace, love, prosperity and good health.
Cheers for 2020 !
