Chinese New Year

Today is the day......Gong Xi Fatt Chai!! Wishing everyone a properious new year......
I woke up at 12, I slept at 4 the night before. LoL. Wished everyone in my family Happy Chinese New Year and then ate lunch. My family and I just hangged around the house.......all so lazy. Some on the computer, some sleeping, some eating and some doing homework.........lol
Finnaly at 6.30 pm we got to get our ong pows.........this year we had something different, ong pows were given to us on the driveway of my house.......no one was walking around the neighbourhood that time, I guess because everyone balik kampung, makan jagung.....haha lol.
We went to the Chinese Temple at 7. Still light so the temple lights weren't on yet. We were lucky we got a parking space because usually we take about 10 mins to circle the parking lot. Walked around the temple, prayed (my hair smells like smoke from all the insence lol).
The scenery was beautiful. But I haven't uploaded the pic's yet so can't put them on the blog. When the lights finally came on it was so beautiful to see....Went to eat "dinner". Which was.....an unusual spot fpr dinner. A mamak stall. We had our Chinese New Year reunion dinner on Chinese New Year Eve, I don't know why my family chose a mamak stall on Chinese New Year night. We were still all dressed up in our Cheongsams and stuff, sitting down eating tandoori chicken. Haha. This years Chinese New Year for me isn't really that interesting...not like some of my friends who had fireworks, and in a air-conditioned restauraunt......mine was all outdoor (and thats really unusual for my family because my family always likes high-class air-conditoned places, except for me and my mom).............
