At last the chinese new year calender has begun and you know what that means.. ang pow, firecrackers ( i actually dislike big firecrackers), food, openhouse malaysian style, food, and new clothes xD. I love chinese new year bcoz i can stay at home and dont hav to wake up 6am everyday for 11 days! I also get to visit my relatives and collect lots & lots of angpow. Sadly this year im not visiting one important relative.. my grandparents.I like visiting them bcoz they cook the most delicious sweet and sour pork, stir fried vegie, fragence rice ( diabetic and expensive ) and of course, no not ang pow, i get to see animals like chickens and dogs =) Never mind.. i still love chinese new year
For the first time in a long, long while, this CNY is a sunny, humid, and blisteringly hot one and not a monsoon season like almost every year. HOT hOT hoT..
Since this year is the year of the ox and not chicken, they have lost the mood to celebrate, haha..
There was a lion dance yesterday down my neighbourhood block and something strange happen.
Tyson started howling and walking and running all over the house including the inside which he is not allowed to enter. He started acting strangly when the drums started beating, gong. gong.. gong. gong.gong..., runing in zig zags, runing and hitting the flower pots. Tyson was in fact terrified by the beating of drums and begged to be let inside the house. Only when the druming stop that he comfortably went outside and relaxed. He also salivourate like a dog that just finish a marothon. I was a bit surprised at his behaviour because he is quiet fierce and would bark like a mad dog at strangers.
Note to self : " to discipline tyson, use drum ". Im not sure whether its a boxer thing or just tyson's own fear. Tyson is also scared of fireworks. I had a great dane who, when a storm came, would hide under a car bcoz she's terrified of lightning. Even dogs who are guardians of the house, can feel fear. I think my dog will learn to hate chinese new year, haha..
Wishing u all a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year
