Hooray - it is Chinese New Year. 2010 is the year of the Tiger. I'm sure it's going to be a great year. I am so excited by this that any other celebrations that may be happening today have passed me by.I don't have anything against Valentine's Day really - it's just for me, it has never been a day of spoiling.
I have never had the flowers, dinners out, and other gestures.
For me, Valentines Day over the years has been this;
- Buying my own card when my partner 'forgot'
- Clearing up dog diarrhoea when same partner suddenly had to rush to work
- Dinner out with my nanna and her bowling chums at a cheap pub where the only thing on the menu for me, was the worst omlette I have eaten in my entire life - (I was until that point unaware it was possible to create an omlette where main ingredient is water rather than egg)
- And today, being miaowed at by my own little tiger for breakfast, feeding him, being bitten by him and watching him leave when his tummy was full.
So today I say Kung Hei Fat Choy and wish you all a prosperous Chinese New Year.
