Today is the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year and to all readers who celebrate this festival, “Xin Nian Kuai Le“. This is the year of the Metal Rat.

Our week was the usual, with the children being themselves. We got both of them new phones since that was something I was planning to do for a while now since they will be starting new phase in life, but because of their good O level results, we did this earlier than expected.

Other than that, I am enjoying the slower pace of life these days because of Chinese New Year. The city pretty much comes to a standstill during this period and its nice to just stay at home and chill.

We are also going across the causeway for an engagement in the extended family, but that’s something I am excited about going and not excited about being stuck in the causeway traffic jam.

Have a wonderful week and to those living in the region, enjoy your CNY break!
