Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year from ADELAIDE!

Hey Y'all!! How are u guys celebrating CNY back there??

I am still having class eventhough its the first day of CNY! Fortunately, today is the last day of lecture and also the last day of school but i will be having test on Monday and final exam on the following week... Oh well...life's like that! Haha...

Anyway, we had a lil celebration yesterday at Zhu Lin's Buddhist Temple!
We went there at ard 8pm by the temple's van.

The weather yesterday was freaking COLD! It was only around 15 degree at night and the wind is so strong that it can easily break an umbrella!

We went there to do some voluntary work...the girls (Sook Mun, Ying Loo and I) became the person in charge of "crowd control"! At first we were wondering....crowd control?? coz there wasnt much ppl at that time. But later at night..the temple was flooded with people! ahahha... We hafta stand there in the cold and control the crowd...we barely did anything cause we were too cold and too tired! ^^

However the guys (Silas, Kien Seng, Henry and Cheng Haw)...is incharge of security. They hafta control the traffic in the car park and poor them coz that place is even colder...and very dark too.

As the weather was so freaking cold...it somehow makes us feel as if we were in Beijing?/ haha....and we forgotten all about summer too! haha...

The performance started ard 10.30pm after the chanting...then, there were lion dance and dragon dance...which was kinda crappy! hahah....

And at 12am, we had fireworks... then we went and do prayers...and after that went home and arrived only at 2am! We were all froze up, tired and hungry by then coz we had our dinner very early; around 4plus...

Actually i wanted to call back to grandma house at 2.30am to wish all of u but i couldnt stand it already...i hafta go to bed and have my beauty sleep coz i have class today! Irritating!!

Eventhough nothing was as good as it was back there, but at least the temple makes us feel more like it was CNY!

Tonight we will be having a small gathering at Cheng Haw's place and each of us will cook something! We will be cooking fried rice and Tang Yuan! hehe...

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to u ALL!

I miss all of you back there!

Do take care of yourself!

Good Luck in gambling..hehe...

and WIN lots of money!

AND PLEASE DON't FORGET MY ANG POWS!!!!^^

Love, Fei
