How’s your Chinese New Year everybody? This year’s my first year giving out “ang baos” (red packets), I don’t quite look forward to Chinese New Year anymore like I did before when I was at the receiving end, haha! Nonetheless, lots of fish and prawns, sharks’ fin soup and abalone; too much “good food” in a row. We MSN-ed with my sister in Washington after reunion lunch on Chinese New Year’s eve, went visiting on Chinese New Year’s day itself and slept away the next day. Saturday was spent playing mahjong through the night, it was lots of fun for me even though I lost, as usual. You don’t need to be winning to be happy isn’t it?
