Spring [春]

Time : 0308
Venue: Maze Backpacker
Status: Alone.


Nothing much happening, really.

Went for reunion dinner with the boss and colleagues. It was good. Really appreciate that at least he put up something for us and make us feel home.

Head to city after the dinner to meet Joseph. He has reunion dinner with his housemates and he got his very first angpao (!!). Aus10. I have none, yet.

Nothing much. Walk around the city. There's lion dance and fire crackers on the stress. I'm completely pumped. Finally there's something feel like CNY here.

Walked to China Town. Quiet. For sure, it's 130 in the morning. Called home. Talked to everyone. Miss them so much. Really want to go back for CNY next year.

Got a place to stay over. AUD65 a night. Single room. Don't feel like sharing with others in backpacker. Just don't feel safe since I've bring the laptop with me. Just thought it's cheaper to call home by using Skype. End up calling by mobile anyways.

Time to sleep. New year. New hope. Officially one year older. How about that.

Cheers.

    Hey, Grace. Happy Chinese New Year to you. From your post known that you're really home sick. So, is better to make yourself home in the coming year. Everyone is in good conditions here. Don't sure if we are getting older, I was sitting in front of "Lucky" 's coriddor, look at the LG street which we are mostly fimilar with, it is so Quiet & Peace. Very 静 ler, you hardly saw the kids are playing around with firecrackers. Anyway, we still love to be our lovely hometown isn't it? And yesterday, we are gathering & chit-chating at "Fook Onn". A good news from our dearest friend, BIN BIN, she is getting married in the midst of June. Probably would be in 14th June. Hahah, happy to hear this from her.:) Wah, I write so long-winded, anyway, wish you Happy Chinese New Year & be happinest with you always. Cheers!! :)
