Wow! About 2 weeks or so, it's that time of the year again. The food we had last year for reunion dinner, vegetarian brunch, new year opening lavish meal, father-in-law's birthday party's satay and bihun goreng and the numerous lou-sang still seemed not digested fully and it's another round of those stuffs again?? Jeezes..., oops, should be, namo-oli-tofu.
Guess after these over 30 years of CNY, I'm about to say "I QUIT". But fortunately and unfortunately, that could never be the case.
I guess this time of the year has different meanings in the different phases of our lives.
For children, of course, it means new clothes, junk food and angpows..
For teens, it means, angpows, blackjack and hanging out with friends.
For not too old and not too young (like me now), it means $$ flying away, responsibilities for parents and inlaws to be there for them.
For old folks, it surely means seeing and having the whole family together.
Of course, there are many other 101 whys to celebrate the new year.
Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year.
