Time really flies, finally it's Chinese New Year. I have been waiting for this day since Dec 08. I was anticipating my parents' coming, so that we can have family reunion.
The atmosphere in Spore is really different from back home. At this time, you will hear the firecrackers at back home, everyone is excited for the new year. In Spore, it is not allowed to play firecrackers, everyone is either have their family reunion dinner at home or restaurant.
I can't recall when was the last time we had all the family members gather together to have reunion dinner on New Year eve. I think it was 2001 if I'm not wrong. I was away in 2002, 2003 and 2004. From 2005 to 2007, some was working, some was studying abroad, it always had 1 or 2 missing. Year 2008, my brother was getting married in March, and decided not to go back on CNY.
Finally, in year 2009, we all can make it for the reunion dinner, and this time we were in Spore. We also have new member this year, my sister-in-law and 2 cousins who are studying and working here.
We are going to have a short trip in Desaru. This will be the 2nd family trip. Hope we have wonderful time together. It is nothing sweeter than having quality time with family. I love you all!!!
