~~~~~HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!~~~~~

What a week it has been... My weekdays were boring but as it came to the weekends, it gets much more interesting...

Anyway, from Monday to Friday, it was work and more work... On Monday, there was a new temporary staff that joined us... She was waiting for her A Level Results... At first, she was quite quiet and all but I guessed after a day or so, we started talking a lot... At the end of this week, she has become much more sociable and is adapting well to the environment...

Now, for my weekends... Let me start off with yesterday... Yesterday was the Eve of The Lunar New Year and what we'll always have every year is a family reunion dinner... I woke up at 2pm in the afternoon as I didn't sleep well during the weekdays but anyway, my Mum and I made our way to my Grandparents' place at around 4pm to help out with the setting up of table and all... I told my Grandma that I'll put up the curtains for her the day before so, when I went there, my Grandma gladly told me that she was waiting for me to give her a hand... So I got the curtains hung up and it looks fantastic... My Grandma has good taste... All my relatives came over slightly before dinner time to help out too... Finally, the family reunion dinner could begin... We did a loi hei before we started with the main dinner... My Grandma cooked all the food that was laid on the table, of course with some help from my sis, little cousin and aunt... I just love eating my Grandma's cooking and not only that, with the entire family... It's only once a year that we're all gathered together, sitting at the same table and eating together... Although it's the normal talks we have in our everyday lives but, I just love seeing all of us together... Seeing my Grandparents with all smiles, it's a joy that I could never put it in words...

This morning, my family and I went to church... It's very rare that the first day of Lunar New Year falls on a Sunday so I thank God for it... After that, we went to my Grandparents' place again to celebrate... The whole family gathered together again, sitting down and eating all the CNY goodies... After everything was done, my Mum, Sis and I stayed back about 2 hours or so to clean up the place and put everything back... Soon after that, we came back home after a long and exciting day... I just love seeing everybody on the streets, all dressed up from top to toe with new clothes and walking together as a family... I just love Lunar New Year... So just now, we ate Canadian Pizza for dinner... What a wonderful day I had...

Well, after such a joyous occasion, I shall wish all of you a HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!! But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...
