happy cny

today is officially the first day of chinese new year! but i did not receive any angpow =(
jie jie is not attached so she cant give me angpow. nevertheless, i got to eat pineapple tarts in her room, courtesy of jie jie's and kor kor's fellow schoolmate, who brought it over from spore. yum yum~ i ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. hee, that is why the container is now half-filled or half-empty, whichever way you prefer to look at it.

jie jie also bought nian gao for me! gosh, do you know how rare it is to find nian gao in U.S?! especially in the area where i am residing currently. jie jie told me that we are in "champagne", but i am confused because i always thought that was a drink for adults. moreover, i do know that we are in the state of illinois. yes, the hometown of running presidential candidate, barack obama. isn't that pretty cool? jie jie thinks that he is very charismatic. kor kor will then retort back, "go marry him lor." both of them are really weird at times. well, as for me, i like the way his name rolls off my tongue easily and for some strange reason, it rhymes with "osama" too.

alright, i got to go and pee now before i wet jie jie's bed. i drank too much soft drinks today.

bye~

with love,
bear bear

p.s: learn how to make nian gao
