Chinese New Year

Kung Hai Fat Choy!

Trekked to Scarborough Town Centre to watch Beijing's Olympic mascots launch Chinese New Year locally (this is the year of the rat in Chinese calendar, and the year starts on Feb. 7). After introducing the important guests, of course not - I was not included on the list - the 5 olympic mascots went on stage which was followed by the dragon dance presentation. I think, the dance was a lot longer than the years prior and a lot more entertaining. I had the greek grilled 1/4 chicken with rice and greek salad for lunch at the food court that wasn't that packed today. I guess a lot of shoppers are still shovelling snow on their driveway or still sleeping in.

Launching ng Bagong Taon ng mga Intsik sa Scarborough Town Centre (shopping mall), kaya nagpunta doon kanina, at doon na din kumain ng tanghalian pagkatapos manood ng dragon dance na mukhang mas kakaenganyo at mas mahaba ang presentasyon kaysa noong mga nakaraang taon. Nandoon din ang 5 mascot ng Beijing Summer Olympics na ngayong taon nga ay gagawin sa Beijing, China. Maganda din ang panahon, nasa plus side yata, at buti naman hindi masyadong siksikan sa Town Centre -- parang mga tulog pa ang iba o di kaya ay nagtatanggal pa ng yelo sa kanilang driveway.
