The first Chinese New Year weekend has past and today is on its fifth day. Mee and I officially celebrated our Chinese New Year yesterday with steamboat in the afternoon and ‘chikutteh’ at night. Mee had already cooked ‘chikutteh’ the night before and originally planned to use the soup for steamboat the next day. However, she decided not to the next day morning after my haircut. Instead, she cooked another clear vegetables soup with carrots and anchovies for the steamboat.

Speaking of my haircut, Mee had been cutting my hair and yesterday was the third time since we moved to our newly rented room. Well, it’s definitely a way of saving money and it’s still a trial and error in the process. It took almost 1 hour for the first time and gradually reduced on the second and the third time.
