Reminiscence of Chinese New Year

Happy Bunny Year people! :D

how was your Chinese New Year going? Chinese New Year is all about cookies, red packets, gambling and of course family gathering as everyone is living far, far away from each other. Mine was hmmmm, normal, nothing much. A little bit boring than usual, everyone is so busy and caught up with their lives and Chinese New Year is the off days from all the heavy and hectic workloads. Therefore most of the cousins didn’t come over to the hometown, how sad. Frankly, I miss my grandparents, a lot, a lot. Cherish them and talk to them when they are around okay? Even the asking of “have you eaten?” will put a smile on their faces. I miss the old times, especially the time when we had barbecue over at my place. It was seriously fun! Eat, drink, chat, crap, celebrate uncle’s birthday, play! Played “ghost”, on Chinese New Year? We made a lot of noises and keep running in the room, to avoid the “ghosts”, lol. That was like during primary 1-3. Even the elder cousins joined, if it was for me, at this age, confirm I’ll say “lame!” LOL. Cough at the end of the day, terribly. Had too much of laughters you see. This is the memory that always will put a smile on my face. There’s even lucky draws, cool aint it? But I didn’t win any, I just don’t have the luck. I remembered we watched tv until late night, I mean midnight, and woke up to have a look whether the cousins are up or not, if they aren’t I’ll continue sleeping, same to them, funny. woke up in the morning following the scent of milo, food and the laughter . And what comes within eyesight is a jug of milo, cakes, a lot of food. Food, im hungry now, hehehehe! And the parents will sit around the table eating, talking. And then, I will have stomachache almost every Chinese New Year cause of the milo! The tamjiak-ness in me, geez. ( fyi, I can’t have milo for breakfast. ) Then, the days are pretty much spending with cousins, playing PS, observing the elder cousins gambling, collecting red packets, counting money with the cousin. Fun days back there. Anyhow, I did gamble this year. I was observing at first and cousin persuaded and sponsored me his money yet I’m using mine. Geez, losing money. So little red packets and also losing money, heartache *Ouch*.

This post is kinda long already, essay writing ._. Anyway, I’m leaving soon, homesick for sure. :(

Till then, kthx.for.reading.bye.
