Happy CHinese New Year

I drive back home on Friday. Checklist...for drive home

1) a full tank of oil...or at least 3/4 full

2)violin...violin stand and appropriate books

3)clothes ...including two new tops...and a dress for CNY

4)laptop .....( still undecided )

5) handphone and charger

6) PDA and charger

I am looking fwd to this break very much. CNY is a cultural celebration. The dragon dance will once again be refused entry into our house. Mum thinks its a mean old thing. I like the dance and the deafening clang clang cymbals. Very noisy. very festive. Like every other year, I'll have to make do with the view from afar.
