HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR
2008! ((:
i know this came abit late. but hey, CNY lasts 15 days right?
so it's still not too late.
and i sort of picked a 'good' day to post cos
today's the 7th day of CNY,
which is also known as 'REN RI'.
yeah. so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL HUMANKIND! ((:
this year's new year, i felt, was very different.
it was very fulfilling.
though we didnt really go for visiting much, cos daddy's back was aching,
and we didnt really went to watch movies (like we did in prev. yrs) or went to river hong bao and all, i loved this yr's new year cos the family spent quality time together. (:
on the eve of CNY we went to chinatown.
bought stuff and ran into a few of mummy's friend.
i especially like this uncle ming. very happy-go-lucky man.
how i wished everyone woud aged like this happily! (:
that night, we had dinner together!
it's been a while since we all sat together on a table outside.
first day of CNY was spent at first uncle's place.
this year we didnt go over to 3rd uncle's place - no more pizzas for lunch, and sadly, no more ah po.
but lunch at 1st uncle's place was good! and we had so many things to eat - yusheng, desserts, CNY goodies & BA KUA! (:
it was nice seeing the younger generation gathering together again.
and very soon, 5 more months, we'll be meeting again for our eldest cousin's wedding! (:
that night, the whole family sat down together to watch tv! (:
a very rare thing in the family as well - i wanted to take a pic of us but i told myself that even though a picture paints a thousand words, pictures that are etched in my memory will worth more than that! ((:
the rest of the CNY hols were spent like that abovementioned.
i really loved it alot.
the things that we do may sound very common in other families, but to me, as long as there are times where we could do them, i'm alr very contended (and even when i typed this para, tears of joy are rolling down my cheeks. heh.)
however, the downside of this hols and all - schoolwork! ):
the last few days of CNY hols was chiong-ing work ALL THE WAY!
and when i went back to school, people around haven't been in their best of mood either. ):
BUT, like what limjiaxin said, we should always look on the bright side of things!
yeah, like i'm really looking forward to meeting suxian & peiling tml.
and on saturday, there's CNY celebration at wee's place - meeting the sec sch gang & shaomin.
and meeting gene soon for movies.
[P.S: gene! i'm not sure if the promotion is still on, but can we book 4tixs for CJ7 at GV? then we get can the alien puppy stuff toy! hee. (:]
and meeting the girls soon soon. next week please. (:
and movies with anu - LEAP YEARS! [i like wong lilin (:]
see, so many good things to look forward to!
and i havent really do anything for V.day for my friends.
and i'm still contemplating what to do. and V.day is like TML?
we'll see what i can think of later in the day then. heh. (:
may the year of the rat be a fulfilling and happy year for everyone out there! (:
