Bring it on, Dragon!


My family is ever so ready to usher in a brand new year!

The apartment is spick and span - we cleaned the floor in every room once on Friday, twice yesterday and, at my mother's insistence, one more time this afternoon.  (As soon as the shops reopen next week, we'll buy a new bottle of floor detergent!)  All the windows are squeaky; new curtains in place.  The new sofa has arrived!

What's Year of the Dragon without some fierce decor?




It's kind of a CNY tradition in my home to have radish cake.  My mother usually makes a mean 萝卜糕 but she prefers to take things easy nowadays - actually she spent all the time cleaning ;) - so we went and ordered one from a restaurant.

In a few hours, we'll be riding with the Dragon so let me wish you a very successful and prosperous Year of the Dragon.  Eat well, stay healthy and be contented.  For with contentment comes happiness.  希望你每天都能笑口常开!
