In the evening we had another blow to our Chinese New Year celebration. As we were busy getting ready to go out for another Chinese Year open house, the electricity in our home went out! Aaargh! The thought of it being at night and the Chinese New Year long holiday is so frustrating. First we've got our water problem (no water in the house and we suspect one of the pipes under the house has burst) and now, no electricity.
I quickly went to pack clothes and Mia's supplies to take along with us. No way are we staying in the house tonight as it'll be too hot for Mia. So, I called up my mum to tell her we'll be staying in my old room.
But before going back to my parents house.....
We went to attend an open house. Well, we had to find a place to eat right?!
And 8 lions came dancing. This is the only Chinese New Year picture of all 3 of us together!
Big 'muk 'muk and little 'muk 'muk
Mia struggles to keep awake for the lions. I tried to put her to sleep, but yet again she wants to go see the lions and the dragon.
Look at the goodies for the 8 lions to devour. Tiger beer for a tiger year, oranges and shots of whiskey. The dragon and lion dance lasted about an hour in all! There were fireworks and firecrackers as well but SOMEBODY was so caught up in the excitement that he forgot to take pictures.
Back in my old room, little Mia just rolled to her side and slept till morning. Poor baby, she was so exhausted!
