Gong Xi Fa Cai

Chinese New Year is over but I am still saying my Gong Xi Fa Cai. The picture below is what Gong Xi Fa Cai looks like. I am serious.

Mama has no idea what happened that caused me to believe this packet drink is called Gong Xi Fa Cai. Once, I kept saying Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai to Mama who could not understand what I was trying to say. When she made out the sound of these 4 words and looked where I was looking, she realised to her amusement that I was trying to tell her I wanted to drink this.

Papa told Mama maybe there was an occasion when he asked me to pass this drink to someone during Chinese New Year and say Gong Xi Fa Cai at the same time which led me to think this drink is called Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Mama tried to teach me the Chinese name of this beverage - 菊花茶 and I could follow her but I soon forgot and reverted to Gong Xi Fa Cai again when I badly wants to drink it. It's really kind of funny to see me repeat Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai many times until Mama finally relented to give me a drink. Not so funny when one realises that I am really insistent about getting what I want. ;p
