We always enjoy Chinese New Year because there's not much to do but relax. The Chinese of course are busy visiting everyone and are totally exhausted by the end of it all. We went to the Wongs house for lunch. Puah Meng's side of the family was over for dinner. It was nice to meet some of the them for the first time. The little girl, Emily, was one day younger than Analia. Analia was VERY interested in her. Emily had on the cutest little Chinese outfit. In fact their whole family was in in red. I only own one red shirt which I had already worn to church. Hence, I wore black! We ate some delicious Chinese food-yam cake, roast pork, vegetables, a red soup made with rice wine and chicken, and tons of snacks from Japan. I have to say that the Japanese have some AWESOME snack foods! Michael even brought back a Japanese pear for Analia's dinner. We then sat around some more, drank masala tea, and ate more food. They also passed out the Ang Baos. Analia can get some new books with her money :). This is a special holiday because the extended families get together just to talk!! (sort of like Christmas) I love it. Uncle Michael also gave us a whole bag of Wasabi Pistachios! YEAH!!

Everything sounded so yummy!!! Will I ever quit missing Singapore? I doubt it!
That sounds like a fantastic day, and you know I'd go on about how cute Ana looks in that dress so I'll refrain! The Japanese do have some really amazing snack foods; I keep stalking the farmer's market to try and find the stuff I had while I was there.
