Happy Chinese New Year to everyone, my cousins, my friends, both near and far, my brother, sister, brother-in-law, Mabel, Marcus, Malcolm, and Matthew. Hope you’ll have a blessed and prosperous new year. May this new year bring you more peace, love, luck, and of course, good fortune (have to throw that in, being Chinese).

It is usually during these types of festivities that make me miss home, mostly the people… and food.
