Greeting my followers, how's everyone been? Sorry for being away, Chinese New Year (CNY) caught me up these few days​ but I'm back now 😊. Been seeing a lot of CNY post around steemit during my absence, now that I'm back, here's my version of CNY.

## CNY 2018

2018 CNY has been a blast of fireworks, firecrackers, Lou​-sang, cendol and lion dance​ around Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. I went back Seremban on​ Feb 15th (年三十) from Kuala Lumpur, which took around 1 hour of a ​drive with not much of traffic on the highway, lucky me! 

Family and relative gathering are​ mostly what happens​ during this CNY and getting those *angpau* (red-packet) of course haha 😬. While having those *angpau*, CNY gambling is always the second thing to happen at each relative's house that I visited 😂.

Brunch Pot Luck</center>

What comes after food during CNY is usually chatting and gambling, while we may know gambling is not a good activity​​ as general, but during CNY is an exception as it's like a friendly family gambling kind of bonding activity.

Gambling can be as young as few years old 🙈</center>

House to House gambling 😬</center>

I happen to win a merely RM20 of profit out of this gambling haha 😂, let's not forget about our favourite Lou-sang activities. I think I had almost 7 Lou​-sang this year, the more the merrier don't you think?
