CNY continued

First day of CNY. Usually, people go out 'bai nian', meaning they go out visiting houses. What is the main purpose of this visiting? Well, you can think that people are being friendly and wants to be social. When I was younger, it's the excitement of getting 'hong baos'. As I got older, it's the excitement of the food. I got to eat those yummy food that they put out on the coffee table in the living room. Oh right, it's called snacks. How about now? It's the excitement of gatherings with the people I loved. =) Sounds chessy huh?

Since there weren't a lot of people to visit here in Doha, I stayed in my pjyamas the whole day. Even when the Aunt Mary and Pyro came by for lunch. Haha..

I think 'bai nian' ends on the fifteen day.

I just uploaded one photo of me playing 'bunga api'. The rest will be in facebook as some are of sisters and friends.
