Our wishes

STEAMED "NIAN GAO" & THE KITCHEN GOD

22 March 2012, Thursday

Zhen had steamed "nian gao" (粘糕) this afternoon.  She also 'tested' why the Kitchen God can't 'talk' (make his report) after having "nian gao".
NOTE:  "nian gao" (粘糕) also known as rice cake.  It is a sticky sweet snack being offered to the Kitchen God, sometime before Chinese New Year.

LION DANCE

14th February 2010, (虎年, 年初一), Sunday Morning
A few days before CNY, I showed Zhen some images and videos of lion dances and dragon dances via youtube.

On the 1st day of CNY, there was lion dance in the neighbourhood, and Zhen's little cousin, Qi Qi, was so eager to go out and watch...

That's when I heard Zhen told Qi Qi, "Don't worry, we can watch afterwards, we can also watch it from the internet!"  ;D
