CNY holiday today. Last night I chat with my brother Mitch and we recalled how we used to celebrate CNY when we were kids. He was such a big fan of the lion dance. Every year dad would buy him the Lion dance competition VCR tape and he would watch and imitate. Then when it came to performing, this was where I had to take part. My parents, after nagging and persuading from Mitch, bought him the lion head and mom had to sew the body and tail for him. So, he would go from house to house in our neighborhood or whichever house we visited to show off his skills. Man, I had to be the other half of the body and I was too embarassed to move and jump since I thought I wasn't a kid anymore (which I still was actually)! Ignoring all the fools we made out of ourselves, we actually collected lots of red packets! *_* It's so nice to stay home. I'm slowly beginning to love my home and wish I could stay home all the time. I love the bathroom, the rooms, the living room, not so much the kitchen though (wish it was a lil' bigger). Roy and I sure did spent quite a lot in setting our home up. Now we consider it 70% complete. You guys should come visit sometime *_* Oh, we just bought a stove and cooked CNY dinner yesterday. We were really satisfied since at last it was no longer microwave alone, but authentic cooking! We had Hainan chicken soup, Chinese mix vegetable and salty fish sushi. Roy successfully made his first sushi rolling and I'm nothing but proud of him. He was glad to be part of this celebration too! Although we had a holiday today, we still have to attend the Master's class. Three of our friends presented and they all did a good job. I wasn't sleepy at all like I used to if it's normal working days, but I was for sure hungry. Everybody is busy talking about fast money scheme nowadays. I don't know whether to join in or to be left out or to just ignore. I really don't know where it will lead people to, but for sure some people got very addicted to it that they talked about it 24/7. I just hope and pray that it will not stimulate greed so much. Well, I better get some sleep. School again tomorrow and I hope to be there at 6:30am. Nite!
