Happy Chinese New Year 虎年行大運

Every year we celebrate Chinese New Year with the Chinese school, so we decided to eat dim-sum prior to the celebration as our tradition. This year a close family decided to join us and learned about the celebration, so we invited them to eat dim-sum with us.

我們家每年都和會中文學校這個大家庭一起慶祝農曆新年, 所以我們會趁新年晚會之前先去吃養茶. 今年我們的好朋友一家想去看新年晚會, 所以我們也邀請他們跟我們去吃養茶.

We enjoyed our dim-sum as usual, but we can tell that our friends weren't used to this kind of food. But we had a good time.

他們覺得很新奇. 飯後我們包了小紅包給他們的3個小朋友. 小朋友們都好興奇可以收到紅包.



Khai's class decided not to perform this year, so I let him joined Xander's class. Every student suppose to say some lucky words. Khai kept coming to our seats and asked me how to say his parts. Poor kid, I never saw him so nervous. We told Khai that he needs to take a deep breath when he is nervous in the daily life. You can see from the video that he tood a deep breath before his performance (we didn't tell him to do that, but he remembered to do that to relax himself). Kids did a wonderful job on the stage as usual. We were so proud of them.

煒勳班今年投票決定不表演,所以我讓煒勳參加傑升班的服裝表演. 每個學生都要講一句吉祥話, 表演前就看煒勳很緊張的頻頻跑到我的座位問我怎麼說他的吉祥話. 很少看到煒勳這麼嚴肅和緊張. 有點好笑又不拾. 我們平常都教煒勳, 如果他很緊張或是挫折時,做個深呼吸. 結果你看煒勳在開始之前竟然自己做個深泘吸以放鬆自己. 2個小朋友都表演的很好呢.

Every time I go to your blog you make me hungry!!! That looks like fun (all but the cotton candy part - that is about the only food besides liver I don't care for).
I bet the boys were great doing their parts. They are so full of energy and wonderful preformeres.
