Happy Lunar New Year!!! Gongxi Gongxi... :D

I hope this is not too late... but here's wishing EVERYONE a Happy, Prosperous, & BLESSED Lunar New Year!!!

This picture was taken on the 1st day of CNY (23rd Jan 2012), but I only managed to sort through my pictures this morning, hehe...

Natalie was wearing a pretty traditional "princess" dress which I bought during my last trip to Taiwan. And Hans, was wearing (an almost) traditional Chinese costume which I bought 1 or 2 days before CNY. It was actually meant for him to wear to school, as he said his friends will be wearing traditional costumes, & he wants it as well.

Well, I couldnt find one his size, & eventually found this "acceptable" piece from Kiddy Palace. However, he actually refuses to wear this to school, as it's not a matching "set" with the pants... *sigh*...  This is not something I'd have naturally bought for him in the first place.

Anyways, he wore it during the 1st day of CNY, & that's good enough for me :)

Here, Hans was posing in front of his "calligraphy" written red papers done in school. It has the words "Fu: Blessing", "Chun: Spring", & "Ji: Luck".

He should have written them diagonally, so that they can be put up in a "diamond" shape facing up... but nevertheless, I pasted them up on the wall. And, he was really proud that his work is on display at a prominent place in our home :)

Hope this blog post finds you all well, fed, & all geared up to receive all the blessings 2012 has in store for you ^^

*Gongxi Gongxi!!!*
