First Day and Night of CNY 2008

I did not go to sleep until after 1am on the eve of CNY due to the sound of firecrackers and fireworks.

I was supposed to attend Chinese New Year Combined Celebration at 8am but when I woke up at 630am, I was still feeling too tired. I continue to sleep until 11am. I haven’t slept for such long hours in a long long time and I am glad I could do that eventhough I missed the celebration.

Work, stress and activities for the past seven weeks must have taken its toll. The white hairs on my head are getting more and more by the day as well.

I did not go out from the house until tonight to go to cousin Anna Chong’s open house.

We had roast lamb, fried rice, fried meehoon, mixed veges, chicken curry, beef, fried shrimp and chicken nuggets, and four seasons roll. Desserts were almond with longan and blue berry cheese tarts. There were lots of titbits to savour as well.
