Chinese New Year Parade @ 8th Avenue
Yesterday was the day of the annual CNY parade on 8th avenue, hosted by the Brooklyn Chinese-American Association. And recently (last few years), it's become a tradition(?)/habit for my family to go down there and just absorb the festive atmosphere.It does get redundant after going for so many years. But this year I was excited to take photos with my DSLR. I didn't get to take as many AMAZING photos as I wanted but it was fun nonetheless. My first adventure with my new camera :] I hope to do this more often around the city in the upcoming months ^__^
I did take much more photos. Many were very random..just for fun shots while others had people in them. I don't think those people would like to see photos of themselves online without permission. =X

On our way back to the car I saw this lovely little fella (or gal idk which one lol). It was just sitting there. Wonder what it was waiting for? I felt so sorry for it after my horrible brother threw snow at it =.=;; I hope it's alright!

Our choice for lunch. Usually, when we're at 8th avenue as a family we either go yum cha or eat Vietnamese food. I wanted to try something different for once, especially since my brother never likes to try new foods (he's missing out!). This is my second or third time eating Malaysian food..ever (that I can remember). It was yummmyy! ^__^

My favorite!!! My mom thinks it's because apparently she made similar type noodles often when I was younger...No wonder why they looked familiar! lol
