The first day of Chinese New Year.
And other than the visiting I did, the dog ate the sun. You're bullshitting, you say. Well, maybe because it's the year of the bull cow ox. So I bullshit instead of, uh, lionshit.
Anyway.
My family and I set off in the late morning (it used to be early morning but I became lazy) to the temple first, then to three other locations for visiting.
Dad wore a checkered shirt that I bought online by mistake and matched it with incompatible suspenders.
Mum wore a purple blouse with black slacks.
Bro wore a brown tee and pants.
I wore a dress that made my brother go 'WAAAAAAAAAA WHY SO RED' when it was in fact burgundy. I like my dress.
First stop was to visit a temple at around the Tampines Link area.
Anyway, RC informed me of some solar eclipse that was gonna happen. But it was very cloudy I worried that the sun would have no one to ask for help from when the heavenly dog started to munch on it.
Gloomy.
And then we headed on to my maternal uncle's place where my sister's family met us there too.
Put a straw hat on my dad and I'll be convinced he's a farmer, not a taxi-driver. Haha.
Distracted by the teevee
A closer look at how my dad's suspenders look like
I have no idea where they came from.
Eating chocolate
Chasing after a dog
This is how life is like when you have a little kid at home. Life seems to revolve just around him.
After a couple of hours we headed to my paternal 2nd aunt's place, then to my paternal 1st aunt's place. =\ No photos were taken there, but I visited Felix as usual, this is what I do every year.
There were some tuba scores at Felix's, and I found this score. The song Fever, I'm sure many of you heard it before.
How on earth do you play a piece smoochy-ly??
And because of the eclipse, my dad brought an extra equipment out - DIY eclipseculars. I made that word up.
Failed attempt =S The lens reflected myself instead. And the sun was...kinda moony. However at that time it was a little covered by the moon already.
Anyway, here's how the very old eclipseculars look like.
I don't know if you all will find this box familiar, because this margarine is so long ago.
My dad got the piece of glass a la lens from a hardware shop that closed down long ago.
In other for it to be more user-friendly...
...my dad slit the box so that your forehead can fit snugly to the box...
...and this is where you place your nose. Cool eh.
Dad made this in 1995. When I was in Primary 2.
And for some reason we kept this antique with us for the past nearly 14 years.
Still, thanks to it I manage to get good views of the solar eclipse.
And then it got REALLY cloudy.
Then I got bored so I stopped.
Dad added an extra detail to the box.
Same ol' handwriting.
Heh.
Hope you all are having a great CNY!
