14 Feb 2010 (Chinese New Year)
The night before Chinese new year, I could not sleep. Even though it was way pass my bedtime, my mind was still buzzing with excitement. After watching a bit of TV with my parents, I had finally drifted of to dreamland.
The next day after church, we visited grandma. There, we ate lots of delicious new year goodies, and received our red packets. A while later, we went to Po Po's house to celebrate Chinese new year with our cousins. I did not eat much for I had stuffed myself with goodies at grandma's house. In fact, I was so full that I did not eat lunch at all! Anyway, I still had lots of fun playing board games with my cousins which I had brought. We also watched lots of TV. After a long, tiring but exciting day, we drove home.
15 Feb 2010 (At Marina Barrage.)
I am blogging about this under the title 'How I spent Chinese New Year' because we are still in the Chinese new year week.
It was a beautiful windy evening. The perfect weather to fly a kite. Daddy brought grandma and us to Marina barrage. The place was awesome. There was a walkway which widened as it went higher and higher. In the middle was a long patch of field, and along the sides were pathways probably for bicycles. The sky was swarming with kites, some flying high, and others low. It seemed so easy, the way other people flew the kite, but it was easier said then done. we had tried it a number of times but to no avail. And guess what the problem was? We had tied the string on the opposite side of the kite! We tried it again, this time with the string tied the right way, and I finally managed to get it into the sky, although only for a few minutes, before it came crashing back to the ground. By now, it was getting late and we were all hungry, so we all set off for dinner. I can hardly wait to try and fly a kite again!
