A very enjoyable Chinese New Year eve

It was the eve of Chinese New Year. The day started off as an ordinary one but soon bloomed into one of the most enjoyable days of my life.
Ten thirty in the morning. You would probably think I was still snoring in bed. Well, no! I was hitting the books, revising for the oncoming maths test, which i hoped to ace. Then at twelve thirty I had my lunch break. However the next study period was at two in the afternoon until four. I just dreaded studying. However I really needed to improve my grades so I really had to use this time to go all out.
That day I did not realise something that would have changed my mind set about the boring day ahead. My father’s unusual happiness. He rarely smiles from ear to ear. Only when he is very very happy about something. Suddenly I heard my name being called. It was my dad.My brother was also being called by him. First he started chatering about our studies and then he suddenly changed the subject.
“How would you like to go ice skating?” he suddenly asked. And from that moment on it was fun, fun and just fun.I was so glad to here that sentence. We went to Kallang Leisure Park, where there was an ice skating ring. It was the first time for me and my brother. We had an awesome time. Ice skating was so much different from walking. I fell about four times. It is not as easy as it looks. My father having past experiences could skate pretty well but as for brother and I, we stank! He may think he is better than me but my dad says it all.
After spending two long hours, we expected to be heading home. However our father surprised us by taking us for bowling! At that time I was thinking, “Is dad possessed by a very happy spirit who enjoyed his life on earth?” We played three rounds of bowling. I had come in first, then second, then third. Overall i was second just behind my dad. After playing bowling we had dinner. And after that we expected to go home and guess what we did!
The fun was still not over. That night Arsenal FC was going to play against Cardiff City in the FA Cup. Being a fan of Arsenal, I was hoping a win. However that night we played below standards and it ended up a goalless draw.
