First Chinese New Year in Australia

Finally~~~~the 21st Chinese New Year in my life, dad says lots of ang paus back in Msia waiting for me ^^ hiak hiak hiak ~~~ hahahahhahhaa

Apparently even Korea celebrate CNY as well, as being told by my friend TJ, i was surprised~ and we start things off with a steam boat (reminds me of Siang our steamboat days T.T.

Anti-clockwise, Victor with the chopsticks, Allan, Ken and Fiona (thanks !) Rina, Eason and David (i think....)















I was too bz digging in and forgotten to snap some other pics. But we have some better than traditional food and it was a heaven for me ~ still i dun think i eat enough that day as everyone was finishing up early and i couldn't dare continue to eat alone as if i was the king... but anyway ~~~~

Being first time in oversea wasn't so bad after all~ they have even more 'livelier' atmosphere than us, where CNY back in S.Petani was just all about holidays and illegal fireworks not to mention reunion gathering but still~ its all bout the fireworks huh boys ~ and here the 14th of February Melbourne is totally different. It was people packed and the whole city literally looks like Chinatown ~ but i have to admit, this is the first time i have a rather cold CNY hahaha. But nonetheless, this is some pics i found on the web (cuz it was so crowded, for those that have a good spot they wont barge, for those that didn't they make you can't have a good spot, so i couldn't take anypictures at all....)
This is Flinders Station, the central of Melbourne, where all train meets here.











Fireworks (no their not privately own, its from the government....i think..)in Federation Square.











CNY Festival in Box Hill












Lion Dance ~~~











Dragon Dance ~~~












All sorts of Dance ~~~











More and More Dance ~~~












Never ending Dance ~~~ woohoo ~~~ see the 'sea of heads' there?











Im feeling pretty good already for this year. As i had some quite good news already in the past week ^^ for my 2010 resolution ( or revolution?), well more like my first resolution, is, NO RESOLUTION AT ALL! hahaha, eat more, sleep more, enjoy more.......play more i suppose but we'll see about that hahaha, well i'll definitely try to improve my reading as im reading too slow now, make those legs fly high in the air and those arm grip them ball as hard as Neova is to the ground, good health for family and friends and everyone reading, but nonetheless
平平安安, 顺顺利利, 万事如意, 恭喜发财!!!~~ (hope things go peacefully, smoothly, everything happens according to your wishes, and may you have a prosperous year of fortune!)
