Chinese New Year, I mean, which falls on January 26 this year and goes on for the next 15 days. However, nobody takes a break for that long; I resume work on January 30 but that still gives me a couple of days to relax. This is what I’ve been doing since my last post:

1. Settled all my bills (a very important New Year custom).
2. Got a haircut.
3. Completed repairing all the computers sent to me. Funny how computers seem to break down just before an important occasion.
4. Threw away some junk in my cupboard (another New Year custom, but I call it spring cleaning).
5. Last but not least, writing this post, just to let you know I’m still alive and kicking, LOL.

Since it’s my male offspring’s birthday on January 27, we’ll be having dinner at Tao Cuisine, a very nice Japanese restaurant here in Penang. Guess who’s footing the check, but what the heck, the food’s yummy.

To my Chinese readers, GONG XI FA CAI, and may the Year of the Ox bring all of us health, wealth, happiness, and prosperity!
