chinese new year

Chinese New Year have been a celebrated festival in my family, this year was no different. Even though all my relatives were in China, there were still my mother's friends to visit. Each year, I get alot of ang paos, this year was no different. When I counted my money, I got 400 plus dollars! Hopefully, I will be allowed to keep the money:)
The highlight of the whole period was the reuinon"lunch". Even though in tradition, we usually have a reuinon dinner. But since we were visiting someone in the evening, we had no choice but to have it in the afternoon.
During the period, I watched a couple of chinese movies shown on the television. I don't even understand some! The other interesting thing that I managed to watch the annual countdown party in China aired in CCTV4. There were comedys, dances, songs and even magic performances put up by the most well-known artists from China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Even though I don't really enjoy the whole period, I did enjoy some of it. I get to do whatever I want when my parents were busy. I can't wait for next year!
