Like I said in my previous post that I have to work even on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. Sad right? Sigh… life is so difficult. Actually, it’s not that we can’t take leave for Chinese New Year but our colleagues from China already asked my boss’s permission to take leave during Chinese New Year because they’re going back to China. They worked at my working place quite long already and they are those hardworking ones.

Anyway, I think it’s the same we work or not on the 1st day of Chinese New Year because there isn’t much to celebrate over here. Take a look at my ang pow from my boss, AUD$582, approx RM1500++ money of ang pow, keke =P I get my wages every fortnightly on Thursdays and so happen this time 1st day of Chinese New Year is Thursday.

5th February 2008

2 days ago, on the 5th and 6th of February 2008 I suppose to work after my day off on 4th February 2008 for my exam purpose. However, due to bad weather, rains all over, we can’t work due to the poor conditions of the farms. I took pictures late evening around 6-7pm on both days. Enjoy the view!

My housemates, (Desmond, Benjamin, KoDoMo, Stacy) and one our USQ friend, Denise gather and had our so called “reunion dinner” at our house. Here’s a sneak peak during preparing the food. I’ll post more pictures later after I get photos from Desmond.
