Chinese New Year

Chinese new year. It was once a festival which I would anticipate for its coming when I was still in primary or secondary school. Getting ang pao during CNY was never the main motivation for my anticipation by the way~ =P

I remembered when I was young, without fail, my dad will surely bring us back to Penang, to my grandmother house to celebrate CNY. It was an old wooden house but it's big enough for 10 families to gathered. The memories of playing with my cousins, chatting with them, teasing others or being teased by relatives was surprisingly fun~ Due to the fact that my parents always force us to sleep at 10pm every night, only during CNY we (my sis and I) were allow to sleep at late night~! Perhaps this is one of the reason why I love CNY last time. Never forget that my cousins and my sis and I used to watch CNY movie from 9pm till 3am! Well, again, I would say the togetherness with them is what I cherish the most. Ohya! SHANDY! Its my childhood beer!!! CNY without that is depressing! XD

However...

It was the past. As time goes, I found that I aint close with my relatives anymore. CNY was no longer a festival I anticipate and the feeling of CNY was never that strong now. I wonder what goes wrong. Is it because I stayed in KL, which is super far away from them that build the gap between us? Is it because those significant events that made me literally depressive and not able to "play" with them any more? I wonder. I wonder if we were staying near to my relatives in Penang, will the situation change?

Well, let's pray for a improve future and I wish everyone a happy CNY! Though its noisy, annoying, boring and full with relatives, I guess this is the only time we can see everyone, every relatives gathered and laugh together. It's not all bad after all~ Since we do not have the ability to change the fact that CNY is like this, at least we can change our mindset, to enjoy observing evey single chat, every single behavior, like watching a movie, be it good or bad~!

To my Family(f), I love you guys!
