It was a very very busy week leading up to this long Chinese New Year weekend that my new colleague and I stayed back at the office up to 9pm everyday. Thank God for the long weekend, as I felt a bit feverish and so mentally exhausted.
Anyway, in all that working long hours, I managed to steal some time for a
Yee Sang with my colleagues at a Tai Tong Group's Chinese restaurant in PJ. Although I was the only one who doesn't speak Mandarin at the table, I felt the warmth and the togetherness.

| Toss toss toss for good luck! |

| Full & happy! |
And I also put together Chinese New Year giveaways to pass around in the office. Something like what I did for Christmas. This time I didn't get strange looks, but a silly bitch actually remarked something stupid. Made me regret that I actually gave her one. All I can say is she is a shallow person who has never been to Sabah and probably never had any friend with diverse cultural background. The epitome of ignorance, that she was.

Today, on the eve of the new year I kept the tradition alive by spring cleaning the house and had Dim Sum with Bo at our favorite Chinese restaurant.

| Gotta take picture with the decor now |
GONG XI FA CAI to all! May the year of the Dragon brings you luck, wealth & health in abundance.
