HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
Happy Chinese New Year to all!!! Today is the first day of Chinese New Year and it is the only time in the year when the WHOLE big family is reunited.
On friday, i had a reunion dinner at my mother's sister's house.
On Saturday, my father's side of the extended family had a reunion dinnner at the pariss restaurant at Takashimaya.
Then today was the big day....... the 1st day of Chinese New Year!! In the morning, I went to church before doing the visiting. I first went to visit my grandparents ( mother's parents) and had lunch there. Then i had to go to 3 other places to visit some grand aunties and grand uncles. Basicaly, all i did was eat, eat, eat and collect money!!! Then i went to this house where it was so big like a mansion and there was a fluffy dog chasing everyone around. And there was an attic that was also used as a playroom. It was filled with stuffed toys, balls, cushions and many stufffs...... We " kids" liked to play in there where we throw balls ( You know those mini colourful balls) at each other and run around.......
Then after the visiting, i went back home in anticipation of the arrival of my cousins..... When they arrived, the first thing we did was to.... haha.... play soccer!! Then there were many other visitors at my house but i spent most of the time playing with my cousins. After dinner, we played com on the TV ( with the recently upgraded speaker system). We also played some childish games in the room........ By the way, out of the 9 of us present, 1 finished secondary school, 4 are in secondary school and the rest are in primary school. There are 7 boys and 4 girls.... 2 of my cousins living in Canada. When i say childish, i mean childish! My bedroom is considerably big so we play stupid games like catching in the dark where 1 person is blindfolded. And then we make stupid noises...lol... By the way, we do this all the time we meet......quite childish.... very childish..... like making joke videos using the camera of us jumping up and down.....
Chinese new year is a time for the family to be reunited and to eat like a PIG cos this year is the PIG year...... And every year, a few days before Chinese new year, everyone would be rushing to the nuseries to buy new plants...... Now the garden in my house is filled with bright and colourful flowers. And the house is redly decorated too.... Maybe if i take a picture of the house then i can post it up......
Tomorrow is only the 2nd day of chinese new year! Still got day 3, then after that is go back to school! Tomorrow, my other cousins will be coming to my house and then the day after that, my small group friends will be coming ( comfirm play soccer). During this period of time, i can like relax a bit from my hectic life as a student........wah......stress ah.......
By the way, Arsenal drew Blackburn 0 - 0 for the F.A cup 5th round.... what a waste they should have won.... now they must rematch.... waste time......
Anyway, i wish everyone out there a very HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!! XIN NIAN KUAI LE!!!!
