CNY 2008

CNY is coming soon. I am far away from my family and home country and this time of the year, it gets especially hard for me. When I was little, I used to dread CNY because I was made to wear clothes (and colours) I did not like and made to visit people I rather not see.

This year, I shall instead, remember all the good things about CNY : yummy food, family gatherings, playing blackjack with my uncle and cousins after steamboat, ang pow and that new set of pajamas Mummy always made sure I had on CNY eve to wear to bed :)

Celebrate CNY for me ok, all you Singaporeans out there reading this. And instead of harping on the yucky rituals of CNY, think about the good aspects like I have just shared with you; am sure you all have one !
