Lai See, Hong Bao, Red Packet. Who doesn’t want some?
Now, some lucky kiddos will receive an extra special Hong Bao with their face on it this Chinese New Year! I made these quickly using Ztampf! Year of The Horse HongBao Set, available from http://shop.scrapbookgraphics.com/Year-Of-The-Horse-HongBao.html:
I can’t wait to see their reaction when receiving their super special HongBao this weekend!
For the first time in quite a long time, I will be celebrating the Chinese New Year in my hometown Jakarta, with my parents and extended family!
Chinese New Year in Indonesia happens during the height of the rainy season, with the threat of flood never far away. This year is not so bad for us – unlike last year when the water rose up to 2 meter high and my parents had to evacuate for almost two months.
Jakarta was flooding pretty badly when I arrived last Sunday, 19 Jan. Within the next couple of day, we had to evacuate to my auntie’s home. We had to ride on a rubber dinghy to the nearest road where cars could pass by. It was quite difficult to get the dinghy as everyone wanted to evacuate by then. After waiting for almost four hours, we managed to rent one and things went smoothly from then on.
We were lucky that the flood receded very soon and we were glad to be able to go home after just two days! It was nice to spend time with my auntie too. All in all, it wasn’t so bad :). We are very lucky indeed as some area were flooded very badly!
Did you know that the Horse Sign in Chinese Zodiac is the 7th Element? Well, guess what! Ztampfever #77 to welcome the Year of The Horse has been released!
