HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Its the first day of Chinese New Year, and its my birthday too! Woke up late this morning, and wished everyone a happy chinese new year, collecting red packets on the way.
It was just after 12pm when my relatives started to arrive(I lived with my grandparents) and I got around collecting more red packets from them. We chit-chatted abit before the steamboat was ready and soon we were sitted round the table which was filled with many delicious food and the steamboat bubbling in the middle.
After eating, we ate an almond pudding home-made by one of my aunts. My cousin had brought her pet dog Vivi and we took turns playing with her, as well as feeding her until my aunt told us to stop, or else Vivi will get sick. A playful an
d active dog, Vivi ran out of the house and all my cousins as well as me spent at least half an hour trying to catch her at the void deck of my house. Vivi apparently ran down the stairs which was right outside my house with us at her tail, trying to outrun us, thinking it was a game. My cousin gave her a good scolding and put on her leash from then on.
There was many tid-bits and we gourged ourselves throughout the afternoon. My uncle had brought a pack of cards and soon we were playing Blackjack throughout the rest of the time.
It was about 4pm when they all left. I took a second shower before taking the chance that since there is no guest, I did my tuition homework until evening. The rest of the night passed on as per normal as no more guest arrived, which I find myself now writing my journal for today.
Its getting late and I am weary. I will be looking forward to tomorrow. Goodnight and Happy Lunar New Year!
