QM6

It has been chilly but I am still thankful for having a mild winter.There’s hasn’t been a lot of snow, unlike last winter which people are lining up at the park with their bogner on, sleds and snow tubes in hand. This winter is a total contrast and probably a bummer to those who love to play in the snow.

Oh… Kung Hei Fat Choy! I really wish I am close to a China Town so I can be a part of their celebration. I do have Chinese Blood and eventhough I don’t celebrate it as grand as the New Year’s ,I do have some respect of it. When I was younger my house is less than a mile away from a Chinese school and surrounded with Chinese temples and you could hear fire crackers and music. You can also see dragon dancing on the streets it was beautiful and entertaining.
Anyway, here’s my entry for Queen’s Meme.

1. In a traditional Dragon or Lion Dance, the loud drums and cymbals are thought to chase out evil spirits. How do you do YOUR traditional Dragon Dance to drive out any evil in your life? (Do you dance with dragons?……or just old Elvis records….inquiring minds want to know)
*On New Year’s we don’t have a dragon props but we do bang pots and pans and I do dance in my shake that booty thing way! ^-^

2. Have you experienced any good or bad omens this year?
* Man, I did have a bad omen days after New Year! I was in shocked!

3. I believe that good fortune has more to do with personal integrity, honesty and character than ancient symbolism. Treating people the way you would want to be treated goes a long way in warding off that pesky negative Karma. Dragons are considered evil creatures according to European culture , but in Chinese culture the dragon symbolizes supernatural power and goodness. Which one do you believe? Or would you rather just try the good ole’ Golden Rule…….
* All those 3 applies to me! I sometimes get scared of the evil looking dragon but I do have Chinese blood in me and I do what my ancestors do but I also believe in the golden rule .. Karma is a B!
4. Chinese couples will attempt to have “Dragon babies” in the year 2012. In order to take advantage of astrological predictions of wealth and success, name one thing you should attempt to “birth” that could bring you good luck.
* Probably birthing Diligency!

5. You are in charge of the Chinese New Year Parade in your town. Who will ride on the first float?
*Probably the Mayor! He is the father of the town!
6. What is your favorite Chinese food?
* NgoHiong and Sio Mai!
7. Chinese people often think of themselves as descendants of the mythical Dragon creature.
Do you have any mythical creatures in your family closet?
* Oddly enough No!
Enjoy the rest of the weekday!
