I Actually Got An AngPau Today..

.. and no, it's not sent from back home.
It's actually in POUNDS! (:

woot!

i was talking about ChineseNewYear
at small groups yesterday and today,
someone actually presented me with
a makeshift envelope saying 'HappyChineseNewYear!'
and said:' Even though I'm not married...'

and i think for the first time,
i really was touched by the thought not the gift.
(yeah, i AM pretty shallow)

and of course, now i'm trying to get
my other Brit friends to adopt the tradition too.
heh (:

instead of celebrating CNY this year,
i celebrated Pancake Tuesday yesterday!
it's supposed to be two days before Lent
and i'm not too sure what it's about but
mmmm pancakes (:

and Ash Wednesday is pretty big here too.
there were loads of people yesterday walking
around charcoal smears on their foreheads.

quite cool hor!

meanwhile, enjoy your binge eating people.
hope the CNY heat wave isn't too bad.
(:
