i wanted to post pics to give a quick recap of my wonderful longggg week off (i can't believe it's over already!!!)
it started on 年三十晚 (Jan 25), where we had the traditional family dinner together at my mom's place. i have to give it to her, as she prepared the feast below single-handedly and using only TWO stove tops (that's how limited it is in HK haha..) and also having gotten off the plane from toronto two days ago!
we had the usual MJ and 湯圓 afterwards (the super delicious ones from this store near times sq)~micsis and i decided that since the camera made us look kind of 'round anyways, we might as well emphasize it XD
on 年初一, we went to my mom's place for lunch and then went out to the supermarket in festival walk to rush and buy whatever we could to prepare dinner that night at my sis' place!as the tradition each year on the first two or three days of Chinese New year is the wear the brightest jacket we have, we realized how 'dazzling' we looked standing next to each other and couldn't resist taking this picture:
(on a side note, many ppl pointed out my sis and i resemble the miffys sitting on the chair behind us XD)on 年初二, i had a lovely birthday lunch with timmy and jon, who both took time out just to see me before my bday~
afterwards, we had our usual yearly dinner with micsis' family and finally had some full family pics taken of us:
bright clothing part 2 (i'm so short =__=;;):
on 年初三, no pics were taken (i didn't bring my camera out for the day), but i went to drink tea with family, then went out to shop :D i FINALLY bought the down pillow and black turtle neck i've always wanted ~ however, the pillow was so comfy that when i went back to work on Jan 29 for half day, i could barely get myself to wake up in time =__=;;my red pockets for 2009 :D the golden, long envelope is the look this year (aside from the beautiful purple one, courtesy of my lovely sister), and seem to be more popular than red! there are a few more that i got after i took this photo but i didn't want to retake this photo so here you go :D
will post pics of my lovely birthday celebrations soon as well :D my pics are allll posted in my photo album so please go take a look if you're curious!
thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes! i'm so so thankful that even after all this time, my friends all over the world took time to call/sms/msg/email me to say happy birthday :D i really am touched and love you all!
current mood:

恭喜發財 to all XD (feeling thankful XD)
) and also a store that sold 天野喜孝 puzzles! i had been looking for his puzzles for forever (ever since i had passed on the chance to buy one that came with a free frame because i was going back to toronto and had no space in luggage :( i so so so regret it that time...) and they were out of print and not making them anymore. So, when he brought me to the store, i was SOOOOOOOOOOOO touched that he helped me find a place with it.. the store owner told me that they had gotten a collector to sell their collection and that the price was set by them.. and SOOO expensive.. /cry but... i ended up buying the one that i fell in love with the moment i walked in (and there's another one i also like =_= ) although it was the most expensive one =__= i'm deciding whether or not to put it together yet, as it's picture is one that i want to hang up in my future home but... i'll see XD i may post a pic here later since i love it so much XD
