喜氣洋洋

The coming Sunday is the Chinese New Year. My family just had the "tuen nin" dinner a few hours ago. It is an important custom of the Chinese culture that families gather for a big dinner at the end of each year. You can think of it as Chinese version of Thanksgiving.

I was virtually there through iChat. They shared a "poon choi" (picture). Yummy! I also saw their flowers: some traditional spring flowers (Chinese version of Narcissus, very fragrant) and two rose bouquets. They were heading to the festival market after the dinner.

Rose bouquets? Yes! Because the Valentine's day is just past!

And also: ELAINE IS ENGAGED!!! They proposed to each other on Valentine's Day :D It was their agreement earlier when they started dating; both of them need to propose to the other. So both of them secretly bought a ring. Hang also proposed with a bunch of black roses. How exciting! My home is filled with love!
