I’ve been away from my own home, I mean the small family of my man and me, for about 2 weeks. I came back to my parents’ place for my sister’s wedding.
The wedding was on the 30th of Jan, just a traditional Chinese wedding at the countryside. (I will have a post of the wedding next time when I get the pictures from my sister.) There were some interesting customs on the wedding, but I would like to introduce them next time.
It was cold, but the air was so fresh and clean. There was some snow there. It was nice covering with snow.
A couple of pictures I took with my phone at the village where the wedding was held.
Today was the last day of Jan as well. I hadn’t done my 3D pics competition yet. I will have the round in Feb.
A new month will start from tomorrow! It’ll be a very festive month in China.

Some people like to play games and some don’t. Of course people like various games! Me, I only like simple games! lol… I’m a very simple person. I am recently addicted to Jenga.
The first time I knew the game was at a bar a couple of years ago. Well, at that time I “innocently” thought only at bars we can play such games. haha…. I really didn’t think of buying it from the market or somewhere then.
Till last year, exacty it was around 2009 Christmas time, I had dinner at a friend’s place and after meal he got the game out. Wow… I liked it after that.
The next day my man and I went to several markets to look for it. After a few hours hunting we got it. I was not really carzy about it. We only played several games after I bought Jenga. It seemed like a new thing to me!

My English blog is eight-month old now.
Eight (8) is a very good figure in Chinese. It pronounces as “ba” and symbolizes good things such as fortune, smooth, and rich. People like to choose as many eights as they can for their car plates or phone numbers. The more 8 you choose the more money you have to pay to buy the number. It’s such a big issue to some people. Well, to the rich! They can show how “cool” they are with the “cool ” numbers! Just an example to show the car plates I found out.
So, come back to my blog. It’s already 8 months old now! I hope I can still continue working on it till it is 8 years old, and 18 years old, and so on… Just like what the 8 means in Chinese, fortune, smooth and rich! I’m a Chinese so I can’t let it go!hehe…
Anyhow, I always sigh time flies so fast! It really does! I have to speed up as well!
