Waitangi Day and Chinese New Year Eve

My first day back to NZ was full of actions. First, we went to Waitangi Day Festival early morning, then shopping, preparing for the Chinese New Year Eve dinner. I collected few Chinese "orphans" who were like me without family in Auckland and we had a little celebration at my place. I always tend to prepare more than necessary (I blame my Mum :p) My steam pot was too much that I didn't have space to put some of 火鍋餃、蝦餃、花枝餃 (steam pot dumplings) and everyone was so full that we didn't have 湯圓 (It's not quite my tradition, but as I collected all the Chinese orphans, I also adopted some of their culture :))

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! (Doh! I have to go back to work tomorrow...就當拜年囉！
