I love eating “Yee Sang” – a fresh raw fish salad that is served during Chinese New year. My husband and I have eaten it 3 days in a row now, and my mouth was STILL watering while cropping this photo.

We spent the weekend visiting relatives, eating lots of Chinese cookies, collecting red packets, practicing our Chinese words, eating Chinese food, going to the beach, swimming with the family and cleaning the house.

We also went to a Chinese New Year Ball – where I ate until I was about to burst.

I realised that my third child would be born in the year of the Ox — strong-minded, stubborn, individualistic, kind, caring, logical, positive, filled with common sense and feet firmly planted on the ground.

I also realised that my other two children are a Goat and a Rooster! Oh great! Lots of stubborn kids!
