It's Everyone's Birth Day

earlier........and we spent most of our 初七 人日 (Ren Ri) Sunday at Mr Chua's place.
.
.
Mr Chua and Ms Wong were hosting all of us (gang-friends) on this 7th day of the Lunar New Year with a lot of sumptuous food and snacks.
.

.
Of course, what's a good gathering without poker card games on the top entertainment list that kept the guys awake & noisy throughout the whole day!
.
Then, for the children, they were mostly entertained by the Playhouse Disney channel switched on the entire day while chasing each other around the house throwing toys all over the corner.
.
.
Well, on 初七 人日, found an interesting read extracted from Wikipedia that according to Chinese legend, earth was created by a goddess named 女媧 (Nu Wa).
.
She created different animals on the 1st six different days of zhengyue and human beings were created on the 7th day after the creation of the world. Interestingly, Chicken was created on the First of zhengyue!
.
Errr.........hopefully this is just a myth - can you imagine we ate chicken already on the first day of Lunar New Year!?!..................Haa....
