CNY celebrations are getting less noisier and much quieter these days. Long gone the days when I was younger, I would go house visiting (barely missing a relative, all house pit-stops are a must ) and angpow collections were so many, till I lost count who gave this one and that one. But I do notice that although the number of red packets are lesser, the amount of $ inside is getting more! I am thankful it's not directly proportional (lesser packets = lesser amount). Yay! This 'pattern' is observed ever since I was in upper 6 till I enter uni, and currently in my final sem. I am feeling thankful... :-)
Today, my relatives on my mom's side gave us a surprise visit. It's CNY, and it's mom's Birthday! They came along with a Birthday cake and angpow for mom too! We don't have any significant bday+CNY celebration for mom every year from relatives coz when it's CNY, people will focus on CNY instead of birthdays. Well, a good one indeed for this year coz somehow they thought of it this year out of the blue, and decided to take action. Well, from this year onwards, mom's birthday will stick into everyone's mind when it's CNY. Haha..
Yesterday, I had a reunion with almost all of my classmates. It was nice to catch with old friends, old as in friends ever since the schooling days but studies, work etc. had made us far apart and have not met face to face and old as in it will always be the good ol'friends we had known till we grow old! We had the biggest turnout of 25 people, and this is the biggest reunion we managed to gather for CNY. We all hope from this year onwards, the turnout will be good for years to come. Probably target for 30.
