Inspired and touched

Lunar New Year is just another 14 hours away. Tonight is usually the time when my mum & grandmothers will be busy preparing the special vegetarian dish and "tang yuan". Then, we the kids will be busy watching all the live countdown shows from Hong Kong.

I envy those who could happily go home to spend this special event with their beloved family. I really do. I just realized it's been three straight years that I have been not able to go home for this event!! I just hope this streak will end here. I must go back next year.

I miss how every morning of the New Year when we will greet our parents "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and they will greet us back with "Gong Xi Fa Cai" as well. (which i find a bit funny, especially with my Dad's expression -_-)

I miss how my family will gather together to visit our closest relatives, driving around the city seeing all the closed shops and how my dad like to drive around housing areas just to look at houses when all of us at the back were bored to the max.

I miss how all of us friends go to each other's house in one day. The scene is actually very grand as there will be at least 5 cars driving together and storming to each other's houses like a race or something.

..... ...... ........

I can't believe it's been 3 frickin' years....

Lastly, wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year.....
Time for a change of luck.
