大年初一 First day of Chinese New Year

After observing the tradition all my life, I woke up this morning wanting to change into new clothes. It's new year- new shoes, new pants, new shirt and new underwear. I was brushing my teeth and realize that I didn't buy any new year cloths this year. Also, there is no one here to visit and 拜年.Reality sets in. I am not in Singapore and Chilliwack is a 'white' town. It'll be surprising if anyone know it's Chinese New Year.

But I did receive 1 Ang bao this year. My worst record was 2007 when I was in Korea. Zero Angbao. This year 1, still better than yesteryear. My classmates and I went to 2nd floor (where my boss stay) to 拜年. He was expecting us and we receive our first and last Ang bao for the Rat year.

The rest of the day are uneventful, went for class from 6pm to 9pm. No Bak Kua. No new year goodies. But also no one to ask me the same new year question "when you getting married huh". So good luck for the singles out there. For those married without kids "when you going to have baby huh?" And the married with kids "when you going to have more kids huh?'
