Winter solstice & Christmas eve

This year winter solstice (冬至) my family didn't celebrate at all. My grandma's sister passed away on Wednesday night, and all my relatives 坐夜 at Nirvana Memorial Center @ Kuchai Lama. The funeral is yesterday morning. After the funeral, all my relatives decide to have potluck at my aunty's house. My mum ordered "siu yok" from the restaurant beside her office, and we will collect it there before going to my aunty's house at PJ. This is my second time going to my mum's office area, and also the first time I drive to my mum office. My mum guided me all the way to Ipoh Road, then from there I drive to PJ after collecting the "siu yok". There's quite many food prepared, and all are delicious. After dinner, my relatives also bought many durians for dessert. Around 10pm, my cousin and aunty went out to fetch my cousins that just came back from Australia. They reach home around 11.30pm, and all relatives count down together for Christmas. When the clock hits 12.00am, we wish each other Merry Christmas, and then all pack their things and go home. So, this is my winter solstice and Christmas eve of year 2011.
