Chinese New Year

This year's chinese new year is a little bit different. It's not like normal and therefore i thought it would be pretty boring. But I could never be more wrong. It probably is one of the best CNY i ever had :)

Normally, my chinese new year goes like this. Reunion dinner with my extended family, at my grandma's place. Then on the first day of Chinese New Year, will go to grandma's place again in the morning, after attending church, and in the afternoon/evening, go down to Melaka.

This year however, the reunion dinner is just with my nucleus family members together with my oldest aunt. Reason is because my grandma passed away last year. And a thought dawned upon me this very year.

What will happen 30 years down the road? If let's say both of my sisters were married, would I have to celebrate new year eve all alone if i am not married? It's a very scary thought.

Carrying on with my celebration, after the dinner, we went straight to Melaka. That very night. Because my younger sis would need to go back to NS camp, and therefore, time is pretty of essence to us.

The first day of CNY, we went down to Batu Pahat to visit relatives, and it's great to see them, especially my cousins, and their children (my nephews and nieces). It's a one day trip, but pretty nice la. At least we get to see each other once in a while. Then after that, we went back to Melaka.

Normally during the first day of CNY, my cousins' cousins will come over to Melaka to stay over too, and we cousins and cousins' cousins will gamble. It's almost like a yearly gathering and it's one of the things i love most about Chinese New Year. XD But this year, they didn't arrive on the first day, and therefore no gambling with them. Next year ba..

Second day of CNY (Monday), came back to KL, cause sister need go back camp on the following day. And i rotted at home. Having pretty much emotional turmoil about some stuffs and on tuesday night, i super randomly ask Lam whether he's free that night and whether he would want to go Genting. just for walk walk, and then come down back.. XD

He seemed suprised (who wouldn't right?). I also asked Jian and he was suprised as well cause he asked me 'what happen to u?' XD finally we settled for a yum cha session at Lookout Point. It was an awesome posem time spent cause i really need some air due to my emo-ness. Talked a lot, nice ambience, cooling and emo-ness starts to fade off. I belanja them, but suprisingly very little cognitive dissonance. hahaha.. i normally don't spend on people. and this probably starts off as my turning point in CNY, from what i thought would be boring celebration this year, to something really meaningful..

more reasons on why it's meaningful in upcoming posts

God Bless~
