How I spent my CNY

新年快乐,财源滚滚,万事如意!
Happy Lunar New Year


How was your new year? What did you do over the super long weekend?

As with past years tradition, I went visiting on the first day of CNY. It's the same households every year - parents, grandma, grand aunt, and I'm back home again. Simple when compared to some of my friends. I'm literally enjoying 年年有余 again :) I did not have to prepare the 'mass angpows' this year as I have leftovers from last year. Yet, I only managed to give out 4 angpows to 小朋友 this year, so I'm carrying forward 2010's leftover angpows to 2012! Is this considered indirect 财源滚滚? lol

I stayed home mostly for the rest of the long weekend waiting for people to come and get angpow from me. But my angpows have no business eh. What a waste decorating my nest for CNY....and this is the first time I bothered to deco my place for the occasion!

I got kinda restless and bored on the fourth day of CNY, in fact I was a bit moody. Then, I did something that I have not done for ages - I went cycling *eyes sparkled* It sounded rather crazy...I drove all the way from the east back to north and decided to go to East Coast again in less than an hour. So, I barely warmed my couch and I'm off again driving back to the east. But, it was a good choice I made. Cycling lifted up my spirit and I felt liberated :D I've almost forgotten what it feels like to be 'flying in the wind'. That one hour of cycling was simply shiok :)

Now that the weekend is over, it's time to get back to work again. Do you have problems with 收心准备开工? I'm glad I didn't have to work on Monday, so I have one more day to chase the blues away.

Tell me how you spent your CNY :)
