Chinese New Year

It was the first time you celebrated Chinese New Year! I don't think you understood much of it except that it was very hot and you kept meeting new people who wanted to carry you :) As usual, you were very cheerful and sociable and laughed with everyone when cool but started becoming subdued and cranky when it became humid and hot. Unfortunately it never rains during CNY.

As we were in KK, you were fortunate enough to hear LOTS of firecrackers going on at night. Thankfully you were not disturbed by it at all. We were also apprehensive about your reaction when we gave you an angpow to feed the 'lion' when lion dancers visited the house (common practice in KK) coz of the noise and action but there was no fear in you and not only did you put the angpow into the lion's mouth, you actually stroked the lion's head!! Your 'po tai' was more than amused.. Too bad we did not have the camera ready. I wonder if you will still be as brave next year when you understand what fear is.
