Gong Xi Fa Cai Gong Hei Fat Choi Happy Chinese New Year
It's a new year for a the Chinese people around the world. Everyone is getting one year older again! What are your wishes on this new year? I hope everyone will stay healthy, happy and bright during the year of Sheep!
This wasn't my first time celebrating Chinese New Year without my family around. I am blessed to have met good friends here in Manchester even my university courses are not started yet.
My OOTD on the night! A simple white long sleeve shit and a maroon skirt! Not very red for CNY but I couldn't find any bright red skirt around.
Really got addicted to just do a natural makeup these days. For my small eyes, just a mascara, tight lining and highlighting inner corners is enough.
They hang red lanterns on the trees in front of the Manchester Town Hall. So pretty!
The red lanterns are extended until the Arndale shopping centre where most shopping happens here! It was a rainy day, not much are happening on the Chinese New Year Event here due to that.
Weird western and chinese fusion show is going on that day. We didn't stay long to watch it but head to Yang Sing restaurant where I met a lot of new friends from Chester (a town near Manchester).
After dinner, we went to Bierkiller pub to chill before saying goodbye to them. They are all going back to Chester the next day. It was so nice to meet a bunch of new friends from Malaysia & Hong Kong :)
We went home almost midnight and took a taxi back to the flat. So that was how I spent my first day of CNY in Manchester. Tired and a little dizzy from the alcohol.
Day 4 of CNY, there were a firework event in Chinatown so I went out and there were a swamp of people there. A lot of Chinese stalls selling traditional foods and CNY stuffs. Also, there is a lot of games which are mostly targeted to children.
The fireworks lasted only for 15 mins but it was very beautiful! :)
How can we leave chinatown without eating any chinese food?
And of course desserts! I had my most favourite waffles with ice cream! That girl, Jezebel is my first friend and flatmate here. Super kind and beautiful person I've ever seen, bless her :) I am so lucky to meet a friend like you.
Thanks for reading! xx
