Chinese New Year 2008

On Wednsday, I didn't have to do work. I went to school for two hours. In the afternoon, I had an early dinner with my paternal grandparents at Soup Restaurant. Later that night, I had a second reunion dinner with my maternal grandfather. I couldn't eat very much because I was sleepy and full.

The next day, I went to my maternal grandfather's house to wish him a happy new year and to drink sweet soup. Then, I had lunch at my paternal granduncle's house. They had prepared the same dishes as every year - mee siam and spaghetti. After that, we visited my daddy's grandmother. My great grandmother is turning 95 this year! We then visited my mummy's aunt. Uncle Roy let me play his PSP. I had a lot of fun playing the soccer game. I had many red packets that day.

On the second day of Chinese New Year, we went to my daddy's aunt's house for lunch. There were many people there, so my brothers and I got many of red packets again. I brought my Anderson fund-raising card to ask for donations. Later that day, we visited my mummy's old Chinese teacher. That night, we had dinner with my grandfather's brothers and sisters. Ethan and I took turns going around asking our grandaunts, granduncles, uncles and aunts to donate money to the school. My grandfather paid for the dinner. The bill was $903! Then I went home and Ethan and I counted how much money we got for the school. I was so tired that I slept almost right after my father switched the lights off in our room. That was a memorable Chinese New Year.

My mummy has put up some photos on her blog which she did not lock.
