The CNY week that was.

Technically CNY is still around for another few more days, but unofficially, it's over today. School resumed, work resumed, routine is back. I really like this daily grind more.

We were back in kampung few days early before CNY eve this time, and basically, stuffed ourselves full and did nothing else. Played a few rounds of mahjong over the few days and lost some money. Did yoga once and took the kids to swim once. Went out for lunch date with some girlfriends and that's it!

Somehow, this year's annual festival seemed to be rather quiet. Didn't meet up with many people, relatives and friends included. And I didn't quite have that upbeat cheery mood either. Then again, when did I ever have that for CNY? But yet then again, I guess this year's mood seems to be more apparent down. Maybe it's PMS. Who knows!

My elder brother came home with his family and we spent the time together during CNY chor1 night and chor2. Happy feasting on those fresh juicy delicious prawns and their other dishes in Tg. Tualang again. I think we would be going there pretty often.

My sis-in-law couldn't make it home for the 2nd consecutive year and she was truly heartbroken. Of course, I dared not say "lucky you". Though I felt bored to death staying there for one long week, nevertheless, I so feel happy that the old folks are happy and we can spend another CNY together.

Glad we made it home in 3.5 hours on the last day of holiday which sees not only the Chinese flocking back to the city, but also non Chinese who takes the long weekend off to get away too. And we made it home in 1 piece, I guess it's enough to be grateful that everything went so well.
