Kung Hei Fat Choi 2021

 Definitely a different experience this year.

Although my in-laws are technically a part of our circle, Toronto can't have any private indoor gathering, so we dropped by their house to greet each other, pick up our red pockets, and...well, that's about it. No eating together or anything like that. Hopefully, next year, things will be back to normal.

(Honestly, though, we are so used to it by now, so no biggie.)




And took some random pics in our church parking lot during the weekend. LOLZ.

Seriously though... we are lucky that our church  (and parish priest )is able to hold masses for 8 people at a time (booked by appointment) and thank the Lord we've been able to go the past few weeks. 




How was your Valentine's Day? And did you celebrate the Lunar New Year?

Oh, a sad celebration but I am so glad you got to see each other for a few minutes. Hope the cold isn't too bitter. We really have been blasted with the cold and snow this weekend. A great time to stay indoors. Great Monday post!

Happy Valentine's Day and New Year! I am so sorry that you could not enjoy your usual festivities how you would have liked, but glad that you all are safe and healthy. Smiles all around any way, I see!!

The kids are so tall and growing....where does the time go!

Our day yesterday was lazy, filled with online church, EPL soccer, chocolate, pizza and netflix. LOLZ

I am so sorry. The hardest part about lockdowns and the pandemic has to be those missed experiences. I am glad that you were able to do a porch visit at least! Here is hoping that things continue to improve and no more holidays are missed <3

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

The latest item I finished knitting: the Waiting For Rain shawl:) Love how this turned out, you guys:) The yarn was really lovely to work with (Kaleidoscope) and the pattern was easy to follow. Now that it's getting colder again, a knitted shawl is always handy to have:D It's just the right length, and it sits nicely on the shoulders. Waiting For Rain shawl by Sylvia McFadden, worn with my old Rainbow Bar&Grill shirt and UNIQLO pants In progress: Blocking:
