Year 2009 was very exciting for us Brunei Roses. We started our new year with a big power cut (not surprising anymore...) In February we went to Hong Kong with our friends Chie and Yumiko from Japan. And in May we had Oliver!! Oliver's first oversea trip was to Japan in August. I took Oliver back to Osaka again in November to experience COLD WINTER! The time flew and we celebrated our new year with friends yesterday. We had a wonderful dinner and count down watching Malaysian TV program (that was the only channel we could find in the same time zone).
In Japan we celebrate our new year mostly with family and it is very traditional and quiet. We eat soba noodles before midnight then we visit a shrine or temple to wish good luck for the year. When you wake up in the morning on the 1st Jan kids get new year money and we eat special new year food such as
osechi ryouri and
zoni. Friends and families send you new year cards (normally I got 20-30 cards).
You receive cards like this :
Happy new year ! wish you all the best for the New Year!
