Chinese New Year has always been a joyous event of the year for me and my family, and I believe for everyone who celebrates it too. It is the time for all family members to share happy moments together.
On 23rd January 2012, it is the first day of Chinese New Year or so called ‘chu yi’, meaning Day one. Early in the morning, I dressed up myself and ready to go to grandparents’ house and meet with relatives. At my grandparents’ house, we would have a bowl of noodles called ‘Longevity noodles’ in a hope to live a long life. We would receive red packets called ‘ang pau’ from relatives, and hopes to bring a prosperous life.
In the evening, we would pay visit to other relatives’ houses and wishes each other a great year ahead. It was a busy and tiring day as we visited from house to house. On the second day, I went out to pay visit to my friends’ houses and we would chat, share experience and laughter. Overall, I enjoyed my Chinese New Year break a lot and it was another memorable and happy time in my life. =)
