Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year passed in a flash... I had reunion dinner with my family last Sunday. There was a wide spread of delicacies like roast chicken and abalone. We also had steamboat at the reunion dinner. While enjoying the feast, I watched the movie which was on air that night on Channel 5. I stayed up all the way till 12 in the night to countdown to Chinese New Year. The next morning, I woke up and wished my parents good health and prosperity around the year. After that, I wore auspicious-coloured clothes and went visiting relatives' houses. Although the economy is currently doing badly, some of my relatives were quite generous to give me $50, but mostly were around $10. During my second day of Chinese New Year, I visited my great-grandmother's tablet in the temple and made some offerings to pay respects. At night, I counted my ''ang pao'' money collected. It totalled up to $500, which was slighty higher than my expectation of $450. I passed all my money to my mother and she helped me bank in my money. On the third day of Chinese New Year, as it was a holiday for all Chinese High students, I got myself a new Sony EricssonW910i mobile phone which was free with a student plan. That's for all for my Chinese New Year, thank you for reading my post.
