Light those firecrackers!

Hey all you bloggers,

well first and foremost I would like to wish all my bloggers a happy new year!Alright a bit of deja vu,but don't worry I haven't gone round the bend,the time has come around again this year where we buy new year goodies,buy our new clothes for when we go visiting,squeal inside when ever we receive a red packet and wish each other Happy New Year.Well if you live in Asia you would probably know that during this time of the year it would be Chinese New Year.It's time to light those firecrackers,see those lion and dragon's dancing like there's no tomorrow and celebrating the new year in the Chinese Calender.Chinese New Year is definitely time to connect with those relatives and friends you haven't seen in a while.For example my list for New Year Visiting would be
1:My Paternal Grandparents
2:My mum's old Chinese tuition teacher
3:My grandma's old colleague
4:My grandma's family
It surely doesn't sound like a lot of places in a nutshell,but trust me it is excruciatingly boring and painstakingly tiring honestly we started at 10am and ended at 11pm.I was about to collapse on the floor by the time we finished the 3rd place.However this is the only time I ever get to see my cousins who are so amazingly funny and suprisingly are able to out talk me!If you knew me you would say I'm like the energizer button it just keeps going and going and going....Anyway despite the fact that it makes my legs feel like jelly,and my hands chaffed from constantly having to open my bag to put red packets inside it really is quite enjoyable for me.This is so as there is a certain aura about the festivities,the decorations,the food the oranges everything that brings a sense of cheerfullness and family and it gets me in touch of where my roots are and it makes me proud that I am Chinese :D and the money as well as the 2 day holiday doesen't hurt either XD but you know that's not what the true essence of CNY is about.*Wink Wink* Haha alright well I think I've said all I need to so to all my faithful bloggers who are chinese you would know there are still 13 days to CNY so enjoy the rest of it! I know I will!
