The new semester is coming next week, but now I am still enjoying the new year's break. The weather is awful; it is cold and raining cats and dogs all day long. So that I can't go anywhere.

Last night, I played mahjong with my parents and sister. I am not good at mohjong(麻將), so I lost money. My mom said that I received many red envelopes so it was okay to lose money to them. It was a kind of showing filial obendience.(lol)

Recently, I watched a movie, MONGA(艋舺). MONGA is a Taiwan-made film, and it exceeds AVATAR in box office in Taiwan now. It is really amazing. Attractive plot, hottest characters and sucessful promotions lead MONGA to success, I think. There are many filthy Taiwanese sentences in this movie, but they shows the power and vulgar of Taiwan. It is worth to watch.

I didn't know what you meant by red envelopes, so I looked it up on Wikipedia :D
I think it's really interesting--children in Japan also receive money on New Year's, although it doesn't come specifically in red envelopes.

Also, quick tip: when using (parentheses), make sure to insert a space. For example:

I use parentheses a lot in my writing(like in this sentence!). = no good
I use parentheses a lot in my writing (like in this sentence!). = good!
