Merry Belated Christmas 2009 and Happy New Year 2010! ^^




.Christmas Dinner at Mr. Pizza, Xindu Guangchang.

I'm just gonna make this very short because I still have bunch to study, I still have 3 more exams next week before I can finally enjoy my holiday in my home country. New Year here? One word: boring. Surely, the part getting together with friends here is great, but really nothing special for New Year, it was just like any other day. Lots of Indonesians here went for dinner in Dream Herb, Ligongdi, I actually want to share some things I observed that night, but maybe later.
One thing I wanna share about culture in China: Chinese people don't really celebrate New Year, the only thing they celebrate with so much decoration and participation from the people is Spring Festival (Chinese New Year), it will be on 14th of February this year. It is always fun, I kinda like it, the fireworks, firecrackers everywhere (not a fan of firecrackers though, the sound can be really deafening), lion dance, not to mention the Lantern Festival (falls on the 15th day of the first month Chinese Lunar Calendar), I have a thing for lantern. :p I'll post some lantern photos from last Lantern Fest next time.
My boyfriend went to Hong Kong last week, a trip I really wanted to take but unfortunately I had exam and I didn't get the permission. *Sigh
But, see the brighter side, I get to see everyone I really love in 2 weeks! I'm so excited about this one, but really getting pass the last 3 exams are just so hard..
God help me.
