Last weekend my boyfriend finally got his license back. It has been a whole year since he last drove, and I was really excited for him. It was weird though, sitting in his car. I was so use to public transit. Anyway, last Saturday we had reservations at Five Sails and I was so excited for that, you can’t even imagine. I don’t remember the last time we had a fancy dinner date like that, and it made me really happy to just spend some time together. The food was delicious too, of course.

On Sunday was Chinese New Year’s eve, so I stayed home to clean as well as help my mom prepare for the night. She put so much time and effort into the dinner and it really paid off. Everything was amazing. There was so much food! I ate until I couldn’t eat anymore. I was so full that all I wanted to do was go to sleep right after, but instead, we headed down to Aberdeen to walk around. There wasn’t much to see, just a whole lot of people, as well as a lot of different shades of red. A little later on, my parents and sister left and I met up with the boyfriend, and friends. We wandered around and stayed for the count down and then left as quickly as possible to avoid all the traffic. The next day I woke up fairly early to go for dim sum with the family, and to visit to the temple. I think this is the first year that I have ever celebrated Chinese New Year so completely. So this is what it feels like to spend the holidays with a family, huh? 

After that, my break was over and all I have been doing was working. I have been working a lot more than what I am use to, but it is actually not as bad as I thought it would be. At first, just the thought of being full-time freaked me out, but I like my job, and enjoy what I do, and that definitely makes it a lot easier. Of course seeing that pay cheque really makes it worth it - especially since I have so much to save up for. 

And that is about it. See you when I see you.
