chinese new year gets more lonesome and uneventful as the years go by. ever since my grandparents passed away, chinese new year has lost alot of its family feel to it. i really miss those times that we used to spend having reunion dinner around the table. when everyone of us, aunts, uncles, cousins would squeeze into the small little flat and just laugh and prepare reunion dinner together. those days will never come back and i guess i never thought much of it in the past. not until it all has become a part of history now that i realise how it was important to me. how i took for granted those yearly dinners. feeling kindda hollow again, thinking of it.
somehow knowing my friends and the people around me having their family time together, reunions, visitings and all just make cny even more dry and uneventful for me. no festive mood, no spring cleaning, no nice cny goodies, quite boring and sad. arghs. emo-ing.
on a lighter note, bought a few pieces of clothing today thanks to my wonderful daddy who suddenly became really generous. i think it's the first time my sis and i were allowed to shop and have them paid for by him! got a pair of levi's! hehehe. (:
and on a happier note, today is Carmen, airen and kaay's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! i still can't believe such an odd coincidence can happen more than once. haha. but so sad, someone spent her bday doing house cleaning. =P
haha, okay i feel happier now talking about happier things. and i finally got the video i spent 3 whole weeks making to work! YAY! im the happiest person alive at that point of time! i rreallllly hope you'll love it. ((((: specially made for you!
okay, back to emo-ing cos i reallly really really miss having family times together. sob sobs. =(
suddenly miss jill, sonia, ben ben and ek alot too.
sheng ri kuai le
to you.
