the 2nd Day of CNY 大年初二 直落

Right after a shopping to Cheshire Oak Factory Outlet

back to Sheffield and have a 2 hours break
We continued with Sing 'K' in Sing Sing Bar
with all the staffs in Noodle Inn
It was 12 midnight at that time
Probably to celebrate 'Sai Lou's Birthday
and as a farewell to Cheryl

Birthday Boy

Blissful Birthday Boy

Gong Xi Fatt Chai

I am singing again.. XD

The party ended at 5am

the 2nd Day of CNY 大年初二

Other than shopping
There is nothing for me to do during this CNY
So...
We - my housemates and I decided to spend our money
in Cheshire Oak Factory Outlet
somewhere near Liverpool

About 2 hours time
we reached our destination on 12noon
Initially, we planned to spend 3 hours only
In fact, we have spent more than 5 hours
Then we stopped by Manchester China Town to have our dinner

Saw snow while on the way to Cheshire Oak

Manchester China Town

Where we ate

Lovely Couple

Meal of the day

Because we were starving

the 1st Day of CNY 大年初一

This day I suppose to have family gathering with all my relatives

and get many many 'ang pao'
but a bit different this year caused I didn't manage to go back

So, today I went to Meadowhall for a walk with my housemates
and a reunion dinner in Wong Ting Restaurant

the CHINESE NEW YEAR EVE 除夕夜

Instead of having reunion dinner with my family on this day as usual

This year I have no choice but to get over this in UK
probably in my workplace
because all the table in the restaurant was fully reserved
This night all people were served with a special CNY banquet
with starters, main course and desserts
We even have few programs for the night
About half past eight we have lion dance performance
by Sheffield Chinese Community
It was an awesome show which wins the applause from all the diners
After that we have a singer to sing for us till late
Of course, it was English songs he sang
All around, everyone had fun this night

Welcome to my workplace
That was my costume for the night *hehe

the lion dance performance

This was the supper after a busiest night

Not to lose out also
I have received 2 'ang pao' from boss and lady boss
These were also the only ang pao I get this CNY
Thanks

I am here wishing all my family members and fellow friends

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2009
GONG FEI FATT CHOI !!

the APPRECIATION

Just 2 days after final paper

It was the time also for some of my seniors
to be finished with their master
and back to Malaysia while some might come back
So I was here at Sheffield Train Station to send them off
Anyhow, I just wanna say thank you to them
for their caring and supports all the way during studies

Good Luck!
