My 1st Chinese New Year Celebration

This can only happen one time. My 1st Chinese New Year Celebration. Next year, it will no longer be my 1st.

I woke up in a strange bed, as we are at Ye Ye's & Mar Mar's house. Mummy dresses me up in my red dress with chinese buttons. She is dressed in a white blouse with pink skirt. Daddy wears his new shirt too, & we are all ready to go 'pai nien'. Mummy has taught me how to put my hands together to shake it to mean 'gong xi gong xi'. Sometimes I remember to do this, but sometimes I forget.

We 'pai nien' 1st with Ye Ye & Mar Mar. After this, Mummy packs our bags as we are going to stop by at Ah Tai's house to 'pai nien', then we are homeward bound. We stop by at Ah Tai's house, where I get more ang baos. After that, it is time to head home. Daddy drives, while Mummy companies me at the back seat. I feel tired & pretty soon I'm fast asleep. I sleep most of the way home.

I'm glad to be home again. I can relax on the sofa. Por Por misses me, so she comes over to visit me too.

And that's how I spent my 1st Chinese New Year.
