dinner last night, new year eve.\u00a0 As my parents are in Malaysia with my sister&#8217;s family, we just chatted with them over the telephone.<\/p>\n<p>Today we started the New Year with mass and today we are off to Joel, my brother&#8217;s place for lunch.\u00a0 After which we will come home and have our own family celebration at dinner.\u00a0 When we were little, we always went to our grandma&#8217;s house in Malaysia and the first two days of the New Year was spent visiting family and friends.\u00a0 There was lots of red packets(with money) and lots of good food.\u00a0 Being in Canada, the Chinese New year experience is much less calm, not as many people to visit and not as much food!\u00a0 The Chinese like to eat!<\/p>\n<p>We work on preserving some of our Chinese culture with our children as we learn the language and teach them about the special days and traditions.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Gong Xi Fa Chai<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<div
