團年飯 at Queenie’s house
I am very honored to be invited to Queenie’s Chinese New Year gathering Dinner (團年飯) along with her good friends. Of course having dinner with the Aunties means perfect food :p Most of them brought their own dish pot luck style, when I arrived, Queenie was already making hers. While I was waiting for the dinner to get ready, I wouldn’t waste a second so I was taking pictures of her lovely cats. More after, people started to arrive one by one, and Freda showed up with her dog Cookie!!! Anyways, enough with the words, take a look at the fun we had tonight 😀
of course, as always, there are tons more on my facebook gallery here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=327105&id=689775210&l=12ba341826
btw, here is the definition of 團年飯
團年飯 – 係有唐人文化習俗嘅一餐晚飯，年卅晚或年廿九大除夕成屋一齊人食，目的為咗團聚。年夜飯餸係意頭餸，有雞有魚有肉，髮菜蠔屎意味發財好事。年夜飯通常嚮屋企食，不過家下都好興上酒樓。以前尊重長者，埋位要分長幼次序，等齊人先開飯，而家冇乜咁多規矩。

Hair Style Overhaul Again :p
About a month ago, I had a haircut from super long hair to short hair, but that haircut didn’t have enough character I was looking for, and I still like my long hair :p. So I decided to have another haircut again, and this time, I asked my hairdresser Paul to give me some more advice and hopefully he could come up with a hairstyle that might stand out a bit like my long hair did :p And he did it 😀

Caught a mouse!!!
This morning after I woke up, I found a plastic bag was torn inside my home office, I was soo surprised and thought, it’s got to be a mouse inside the house. But the question is, my office is on the second floor, how the hack a mouse could have found the way upstairs and not the kitchen? Anyways, went to Canadian Tire, got a few mouse traps, setup everything and hope the traps would catch something… But instead, I turned off all the lights in my office watching TV as I always do and the little mouse came out. The scene was soo funny because I was looking at him, he was looking at me and no one moved LOL. Anyways, at the end, I caught him with a small box ALIVE!!! So guess what, a new pet for me 😀
P.S his size is no bigger than my thumb so he is quite small 😀
