Hello fellow blogees,

First of all a big thank you to all of you who are reading about my adventures on the other side of the world.
What's new? February brings Chinese New Year.This year it will be the year of the monkey. I am a tiger, although I believed I was a rabbit until I learnt that their lunar calendar starts in February so actually I am a tiger. I dressed up at school and you can see a photo of me wearing the traditional attire. I saw a spectacular performance in Taipa today of a golden dragon which must have had 50 people underneath it.
This holiday, apart from going to Hong Kong this weekend, I have decided to stay at home for some much needed rest, recuperation and a spring clean. I also need to catch up on some school related business. I have recently taken up art and I have a very patient teacher who is helping me to understand perspective, shading and colour combinations. Through her help, patience and dedication, I am able to see an improvement in my understanding of colour, shade and light. I have also managed to complete more of my project which is so hard as the aida is black. I think I need new glasses!!
I went on a date, it wasn't a disaster but it wasn't perfect either. Why are men so complicated? I guess no one knows the answer to that..... I shall however spend Valentines with one of my friends, wearing red and having a good time. I may also eat my entire body weight in chocolate.....
This month, I have learnt to really appreciate my friends and everything they do both in Macau and back at home. Sometimes you have a day where you just need your friends to be there or have a Skype conversation in the middle of the night. I am so proud and love them all so much!
Well this is February's upadate. I hope you look forward to the next instalment in March!
" No day but today"
