Tomorrow starts the year of rooster...and okay, yes, it is my year again, after 12 years...I was born in the year of rooster, so now I am turning 24.
Was feeling a bit lonely here in Copenhagen without any big celebration...I am so used to huge huge noisy new year with
## crowd ppl in the flower street(kind of fair selling new year flowers and decoration, usually sold in stands) around mid night tonight (the new year eve and it is only in Cantonese speaking area of China)
## new year eve dinner with big family, grandparents, parents, cusin... big big meal and always delicious ; P
## tomorrow morning breakfast - sticky rice ball with sweet stuffing, yummi! I just bought one pack from the Chinese shop near the central station
## after the sweetest breakfast of all, we(me and my parents) headed to the ancester temple for new year praying...again, heaps of ppl, we threw coins to the stone status to show our present, a bit wired but hey, it is not that dangerous!
## day 3, you are not supposed to go out meeting friends - cuz according to our custom - if you have any fight or arguement with any one, this "fire" will last for the whole year...:( safe solution - keep it home!
## day 7, birthday of all human being, nothing special to celebrate, but another excuse for me and my mom to buy cakes for our "birthday":D
## day 15, the official end of spring festival (yes, we have 15 days to celebrate, so what?!), also known as the Chinese Valentine's Day - again, we should eat those sweet balls for breakfast or snack. And we would head out to a bridge in the downtown of the city - which has the name of "no worries" in Chinese - we threw cabbage into the pool and it shows that we will have a year without troubles
wow, a lot a lot great great memories... and to be honest, I miss home a bit, is the first time that I don't spend Chinese New Year with my family, being so so far away, luckily I still have someone here to spend this big day with me : ) sweet!
shopping from the Chinese shop:
1, very expensive Chinese vegatable - one green leave vegatable and one lotus root (yum!)
2, thai source for curry rice (spicy peanut saurce and coconut milk:D)
3, sweet sticky rice balls with peanut stuffing
4, different packs of noodles
wish everyone who celebrate this holiday HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY
