Dotting the eyes of the dragon !!!
Kelly We've just had one of the best Chinese New Year celebrations in our town, don't you think ?
Martin Yes, we've had more events than ever before.
Kelly The dragon dance in the town square was really spectacular.
Martin It was. I got a really good shot of the mayor kicking off proceedings by dotting the eyes of the dragon.
Kelly And there were so many different parades and performers. Did you see the jugglers ?
Martin Yes I did. They were great. And the firecrackers were really loud. I nearly jumped out of my skin when they were first let off.
Explanation :
 
Dotting the eyes of the dragon - When a master painter does a painting, the last thing he paints are the two pupils of the dragon's eyes. The final dot makes it finished, makes it fly. Until then it's a static thing. ( legend )

Get decked out

Keep up with

I'm beat

Get a load of that

Brain freeze

When it comes to haggling

It seems to be catching on

I'm up for that

I'll pass
