It was the last preparation day before Chinese New Year. As usual, mum cooked a lot of dishes for ancestors prayer. There were chicken, pork with sea cucumber, yam cake, fish with tau gua and lotus soup. After praying, we noticed there were a lot of houseflies around the food. Therefore, dad and I reheat the dishes as mum went for hair grooming. Some of the meats became hard as we overcooked them since I did the reheat for too long.
Later, we did the last round of house cleaning and tidying. I folded clothes and mopped the floor. Dad and mum cleaned up and tidied both kitchen, living room and car porch. It was really an exhausting day.
At night we went for reunion dinner at my uncle house again. This time was a steamboat dinner. I did not really talk with my relatives on the night. I was just reluctant to communicate with them. Then we just came home and prepared for Chinese New Year prayer, so called "Ho3 Jnya1" in Hokkien.
