Had Dong ri/zi or something today. Heard that its only celebrated by cantonese. Its the equivalent of a New Year for cantonese.
On this occasion, its to be celebrated by eating tangyuan aka flour balls with or without fillings in it in some soup.
First time celebrating it. For past years my family didn't get to celebrate it cos its always happening on a weekday and srsly, its not a public holiday and no one has time. Yes we do eat tangyuan still, but not in the mood in which it should be.
So today's dinner at my relative's was quite filling. Had probably the best roasted duck i've eaten and i've eaten lots of em. Saw the biggest Boiled whole chicken in my life. Saw the first time LALA go unfinished. First time drank only 2 cans of Rootbeer. First time didn't ransack their fridge.
Kayla (niece) recognises me even though shes 3.
Played with my other nephews and nieces, aarun and arruna, male and female respectively. They are Indians as you can guess from their name but are currently being converted to being a full chinese, other than for their skin colour after the divorce with their indian father.
Aarun is SO much fun. He gets fooled by the simplest of magic tricks and he gets so fascinated by it he goes around performing the trick he was just taught. Even though he did it wrong, we still had a great laugh.
Have to meet group members tmr to start on the projects. Not gonna be an exciting one. Brain cracking shall begin tmr.
For now, superman returns, SUCKS.
Bye
