KUNG HEI FAT CHOY
Fiiiiiinally i'm germ freeeeeeeee!!!!!! This has been a long, dragging week. This update has been a long time coming for the simple reason that i had nothing to write about...except flu and poo! so i thought i'd spare you that.
SUN NIN FAI LOK! -- HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. According to tradition, on the days leading up to the new year Chinese families give their homes a thorough cleaning. It is believed that the cleaning sweeps away bad luck of the preceding year and makes the house ready for new luck. Celebrations for Chinese New Year go on for several days and are usually marked by visits to relatives and friends. New clothes are usually worn to signify a new year, and the colour red is very popular. Lion dance is a popular tradition as it is believed that the aggressive dance of the lion together with the loud beating drums scare away evil spirits.
As for this year it is the year of the PIG! My chinese zodiac is the Dog and according to my horoscope 2007 will be a prosperous year in romance, relationships and love! It will be a year of change filled with bright energy and fun. I also have an opportunity to become more rich! Hahahahahah sounds positive! ;-) If you want to check your fortunes for this year go to www.proastro.com/
As for us, we're enjoying our holidays! Over the weekend we watched the New Year parade in the city which featured some traditional as well international displays. The streets were packed with people and we squeezed in behind the crowds on the pavements. Luckily chinese people are short so we could still see something! Yesterday we watched the fireworks display in the harbour which was really nice. Overall it has been lots of lazing around for us. Lilly and i invested in yoga mats and over the weekend we did our first yoga session at home. I tried yoga only once before and it wasnt as hard! We followed the movements off a dvd and through muffled breath i cursed the freaky-flexible instructors only to look over to Lilly and find that her leg was in places mine would never reach!! Daunting! Following my week long gastric-flu-slumber-party... this week i'm back into running/yoga mode so i predict lots of aches and pains! :-P

Yoga...all i know about Yoga is from Sab who told me once that part of the session you had to "pinch your anus." Wether shes right or wrong i'm not sure but thats what i think of when i think of Yoga.
Have a fantastic 2007 and i hope your predictions for the year come true and then some more. :)
