By using EST, today is the Chinese New Year, also called Spring Festival, year of Pig. Wish all my friends, family members have a happy, healthy new year. I am glad that you are all around me no matter where I am. Thanks, everyone.
I went to Fifth Avenue yesterday to buy some new year presents for myself. I got face cream, lip stick, and etc from Saks Fifth Avenue, then I went to Junior Bakery to get my favourite cheesecake. I also went to MOMA (museum) to get a special designed ice-cream scoop, and stopped by Barns & Nobles to get a classical fiction for my roommate. I expected Manhattan to have a parade for Chinese New Year, but I didn't see any sign of it, disappointed~ Well, my new year shopping is nice.
Last Friday night, I went to an Irish club with my roommate to see our friend's band. Our friend Robert is the main singer of that band, who also plays trumpet very well. He is a very cute guy, Vegetarian, never drinks any alcohol (even beer). He has a full-time job somewhere in NJ, and uses his spare time to play his music in some nice clubs in NYC. He had a performance in a Texas-styled pub couple of weeks ago and also invited us to go, but it was raining at that time and both of us were lazy to go out. Last Friday was his last performance in NYC in Feb, so if I missed it again, I've never had chance to see it, so I got over my laziness. The whole performance lasted about 2 hours, we had a splendid time there. He also taught me how to dance, and got me a very nice book for my leaving present. In his last song "Got our life", he changed the original lyrics, and wished me have a nice trip back to China. Everyone in that club gave me their wishes, which made me feel that I was the Queen of that night. Thanks, Robert! I hope I could hear your music again.
