Chinese New Year!

Chinese new year is just around the corner! As the much-anticipated occasion is arriving soon, my class of 2O3 and my family members and beginning to start making preparations! My class has put up traditional items suck as lanterns and "ang pao" to decorate the classroom. Today was the grading of the CNY decoration of our class. Even though I doubt we would win, I feel that the bonding experience that we got while decorating the class as a whole is definitely more valuable than any prize that is won for the CNY decoration competition. My family members has also started making preparations, but in a different way. We decorated out house with firecrackers and lanterns. We also started our shopping for goodies yesterday and will soon begin the spring cleaning of our house this weekend. I hope to rake in a reasonably auspicious amount for red packet money like $888. I can't wait for the arrival of CNY!
