The Fifth day of the Chinese New Year. Thinking my mom-in-law might be tired of staying at home for three days in a row and need fresh air, George and I decided to take her out. It was cold and raining, not a good day for admiring cherry blossoms or having a picnic, so we decided to go to the department stores in Xinyi District. My sister-in-law and niece Bambi went with us.

The fourth day of the Chinese New Year. I stayed at my mom-in-law’s house from 10am to 8pm. The whole family were there, spending almost the whole day together, which usually only happens during the Chinese New Year. In the morning, we chatted with two guests. In the afternoon, some of the family played mahjong, some watched TV, some played Wii, and I spent some time doing my “homework.” Though indulged in different activities, everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere.

The third day of the Chinese New Year. I finished a mission–proofreading–at my mom-in-law’s home while the famiy were chatting with their guests. This reminds me of a line in the song “If”: If a man could be two places at one time.” Very often, when I have missions to do and also want to keep my parents or mom-in-law company, I do wish I could be two places at one time. However, today I did both at one time without having to splitting myself into two. Good!

The 2nd day of the Chinese New Year. A day for married daughters to go back to their maiden home for a reunion.

Happy New Year! Wish everyone happiness, health, and love.

And today is also Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentien’s Day!

It’s Chinese New Year’s Eve.

Happy New Year, everyone.
