chinese new year eve

tonnes of spring cleaning! cleaned the windows and the door. bleah so tiring. then ate steamboat for reunion dinner! after that went chinatown to grab cheap stuff. after that start decorating the yin liu.

-------

sounds like a typical nundane cny eve? perhaps it is.

yet, i wonder how much ive come to expect that sort of family togetherness whenever its chinese new year. and i wonder how much i will miss that sort of thing next time.

you can always build your own set of traditions.

perhaps. yet old habits die hard.

mummy nagging at us to eat leak and pushing us to decorate the hse.
daddy screeching at just how much time do we need to choose our new cny clothes.

smses and calls from friends and well-wishers.

i wonder how much i will miss if i go overseas.
