Happy Year of the Ox (not cow as I had been saying). Lunar New Year is a HUGE deal in China. Everyone closes up shop and heads for home. It is very much like Christmas in the states. The stores are packed with people buying decorations and buying the ingredients for all of their favorite holiday meals. The pictures posted here are from the kids' school assembly. It was darling, with each of the kids getting a chance to be on stage either dancing or singing a tune. The faculty dressed up in these cue costumes and the Red Envelopes (Hong Bao) were handed out.
The girls seated next to Sun are her best buddies -- Maurin and Mary Kelly. They are her fashion icons and we will be heading to Yu Yuan gardens, tourist land extraordinaire -- to purchase a Chinese dress like them in the New Year. I am full on board Sun's "want to dress like a girl" band wagon -- just too hard to resist all the dresses, shoes, and hair doodles. Sun's hair is recovering from her self-styled band trim (i.e. hack), but fortunately she looks good in short hair and is pacified by dolling it up with inexpensive hair accessories which are in great supply over here at the local markets. More later from Malaysia........

Darling! Happy Chinese New Year!
Dad and I are enjoying the new pictures today (Wed). I'm also getting a geography lesson from dad. We found where you are located! They just had a news story about the orangutans losing their land to palm oil on the news the other day. Sad!
I didn't recognize Sun with her new do!
