YEAH!!!! its the time of the year again... tho as we grow older the CNY spirit diminishes but its still a happy and joyous occasion.
I'll nv forget all the good times i've spent when i was a child chasing along the corridors at Race Course road with my silly cousins, using our angbao money to buy sweets n 'ti kam ti kam' from the mama shop (though was owned by a chinese) next door. Remembering the noise made by the tin can on the pulley going up n down. *ching! *ching! Also the unforgettable lion dance going to every household performing the aspicious dance bringing us good luck and good fortune. How time flies as we wonder thru the years growing up, forgetting the littlest things in life which brings us joy to our live at such tender age.
Going to chinatown wasn't a routine in my family but i took upon myself to visit the rowdy crowd to be immerse in the festivities (and getting lost - its part of our (my frens n i) tradidtion). This year to avoid the masses, we arrived nearly before closing and met some unwanted 'friends' the rubbish truck!! haha we literally being chased by it, and its enterance pathed our way ard (pp fled as they saw it coming). It was quite scary yet thrilling at the same time.
this year visitation seemed a little weird or more like awkward, when there're moments of silence with relatives i only see once a year. haiz. but all in all, the CNY was a 'fruitful' one for me. I gained 3Kgs and received $390 worth of angbao!! cool!! mainly given by my uncle godma n bro. their pockets must have a hugh hole now. keke. Thanks for your generousity!!! bcos they believe the more u give the more u'll receive!!
