Just wanted to tell you all we're celebrating Chinese New year where I live!! It's 15 days of celebrations from last Sunday on!! That's why I'd not been around much!!

Just thought I should share what we do, it's not a religious holiday, but it's a time we visit all our family, friends and relatives, for 15 days!!

Well just these two days I've met up with my grandma, all my aunts and uncles from both parents' families, about 40 of my cousins, all their children and grandchildren!! Then of course the same is repeated with my husband's family!!!

The children get red packets (with money) from all married adults, we party, stuff ourselves, play mahjong and card games, we're having a blast, and I'm pooped!!!

well, to any of you who celebrates this holiday, and to those who don't, I will take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Chinese New year !!
