Chinese New Year 2020


恭喜发财! 新年快乐!

Gung Hey Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year!

Family gathering at Nanny Wing's for Chinese New Year and Nanny Wing's birthday last night.



Birthday cake made by auntie Christine.


Tracy made a banana bread but didn't have enough time to cook it... She baked it for 30 minutes but it needed to be baked for 45 minutes so tried to do it in grandma's but once you take a cake out the oven that's it, it's game over it won't cook. She should have just brought it to grandma's to bake. So if you go on my Instagram story you will see the aftermath. As it looks cooked here but it wasn't. The middle wasn't cooked so we just had to eat the edges of it.


The next generation of Wing's! Grand kids and great grand kids.
Lucas and Ollie dying to cut the cakes with the knives you can see in their hands.

Didn't make it out into town this year as the weather wasn't great. Also due to the council being skint the celebrations are only happening for 1 day today - Sunday. Usually they have stuff all weekend and the days building up to it but with the cuts they couldn't afford to which I think is stupid because they definitely make money by having events like these?

Nothing will beat last year when me and Jo won the competition to get a selfie with all the zodiac animals. The weather was actually really nice last year as well. Cold but was sunny.

Chinese New Year 2018

恭喜发财! 新年快乐!

Kung Hei Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year!


Last night we went to Nanny Wing's for our New Year feast!


So much food!

It also happens to be Nanny Wing's birthday as it falls near Chinese New Year



Auntie Christine made the birthday cake. Chinese fruit and cream cake!



Trying to get a family photo using a phone & self timer... Not the full family unfortunately this year!






Over sized floral shirt - Zara, added the ribbons myself which happen to be the perfect colours!


Happy Year of the Dog!

Hoping to go into town tomorrow for the parade as it's meant to be even big and better than usual as it's the 10 year anniversary since Liverpool won European Capital of Culture

Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! Year of the Rooster 2017 

恭喜发财! 新年快樂!


Happy Birthday Nanny Wing!



Happy Chinese New Year! Year of the Rooster which is my zodiac which means it should be a good year for me & my fellow roosters.

Had the usual dinner at Nanny Wing's last night, sadly not a full house with a couple of the Wing's missing so a spacious table for a change.


Still a full spread.

Tonight we went to Chung Ku restaurant to celebrate Nanny Wing's birthday.
A couple missing, my mum & dad (gone on holiday without me for their wedding anniversary) Gary, Kirsty & baby Lucas (Lucas isn't well).


Lobster!






Cake from Bon Bon Bakery on Berry Street


Lumee case & snapchat front flash - too much light!

Adidas are celebrating Chinese/Lunar New Year by releasing a limited edition Chinese New Year, Year of the Rooster Pack for 4 of their original trainers. Original Superstar, Tubular Radial, Stan Smith & ZX700. They already surprise dropped the Ultraboost 3.0 "Chinese New Year" colour way back in December. They sold out straight away & were $180 on the Adidas website.


Chinese New Year falls on the Saturday 28th January 2017 this year & happens to by my zodiac the Rooster! Which means I'm 24. (I'm old!)

All pairs have premium black upper leather, chalk white soles, have feathered heels, embroidered rooster on the heel, have a mahjong print insole which all reflect on the year of the rooster & oriental feel.

Adidas Superstar








Adidas Stan Smith











Adidas Tubular Radial









I want a pair of Tubular's & think this would be the perfect pair for me with the embroidered rooster..


There's no prices for them at the moment but are expected to drop online on Saturday 7th January 2017. I'll see if I manage to bag myself of Tubulars.
