2. Birthday/Anniversary Celebration
The Lunar New Year doesn't only mark as a brand new start for my fellow Chinese friends but somehow it also signifies the start of intensive project progress, multiple presentation periods and awesome revision lectures. If you've noticed, nothing in that list must be struck out, especially that last element.
In a very unglamorous and impromptu manner I had solemnly declared to my mother that I will be baking this Lunar New Year. Apart from the fact that I am trying to spend some time away from my slowly depreciating laptop and worn lecture notes, my mother wanted a reminder that she had a daughter.
I hope my kitchen survives me.
