as fast as it came, chinese new year is coming to an end already, at least la! more than half the 15 days gone already! ai ya yai! quick ya how time can fly pass by! haihz! well, at least on the bright side of this very "ang-ang" period of time, we get the most fun ya? of the good food served on dinner tables, damm chat good wei..the visiting upon both missions, the empty traffic thus the drawback of empty rows of shop, reunion of family in one special place near nor far, the memories of fireworks going 'phuiiiiiiiiiii-splatt' in the endless night sky, both as beacons of giving out positions or as weapons of mass destruction, haha, battlefiels deiz.. the various win/loose gambling sessions and the best parts, those little small red valueble packets people give out like mandarin oranges, ya those! thus not a so-fun-year for me and my family but we did try to make things work on our advantage, dont break the rules i say, bend them!
the celebration of this year's chinese new year was mainly in our home, as when the 17th came, one by one came ringing the door bell, throwing their slippers aside, entering with a keen nose equiped smelling for that once-in-a-year scrumcious meals that we planned for the dinner table on reunions! man, we were like vultures hanging by a dying calf wei! well, of course curtosy came first, we wished "gong hei fat choi" first la! what you think we were, animals? haha. three tables in our dining hall and still not enough to fill the whole family, we squezed and thus enjoyed our reunion dinner..good food man, good food! let me try to recap:
