Long weekends : )

Sorry for not posting for so long and dragging till now, but as everyone should know, it was Chinese New Year. So this post will tell you about what I did during Chinese New Year. On Friday, I did my AAP HW (yes, the recording to be handed up by noon sharp on Saturday).

Saturday was the day for my cousins to come to my house to have dinner. So in the morning I was busy preparing too, together with my siblings and parents. We prepared a whole lot of dishes, like braise duck and sea cucumber, fish maw soup, desserts, etc. By 5pm, the guest had already arrived so we started eating and playing games. I spent most of the time eating as there was so much food and my favourite food, squid, was there too. However, I also spent quite a lot of time playing poker cards too (that's the only time of the year when I play that, when I'm too free). I also spent some time playing computer games, but time flies when you're having fun, so soon it was 12midnight and my cousins had to go. After bathing, all of us promptly slept to prepare for the next day.

Sunday, we visited our relatives on this day. After each of us took two oranges, we set off to visit our relatives. First up was my grandmother's sister, who gave us hongbaos when we reached there, even before we gave her our oranges. After that was my maternal uncles, one was a owner of a stationery shop, and he always gave us lots of stuff when we went to his house. After that, we continued to visit some of our relatives and then reached home by 4pm. The rest of the day was just doing homework and playing computer games.

Monday, I visited my maternal relatives for steamboat in the afternoon. I had a whale of a time there, eating and talking and receiving red packets. There was heaps of food like sea cucumber, squid and even raw salmon. Spent the whole time eating while watching the TV. After that, we left the house and set off to visit our paternal relatives for a reunion dinner. To eat the 鱼生(余升) was my favourite part. I grabbed all the raw fish for myself (anyway, none of my cousins liked raw fish). Later was the dinner, which consisted of the 8 treasures pot, shark fin soup and a few other dishes. We also watched the movie (not Avatar) Where got Ghost. Despite it being a horror and comedy movie, it was more hilarious that scary and everyone laughed throughout. After that I played mahjong with my sister and cousins and my brothers played Chinese Chess. The rest stayed downstairs watching the television. I played till midnight, and then we left for home.

Tuesday, which is today, I woke up eating breakfast, then switched on the computer to do this blog post, which I am still doing and going to end.

Yes that's all bye (wow long post)
