Happy lunar new year to all and welcome to the dragon year 2012!
Wish that everyone lives in great fortune, to be immersed in freedom and the warmth of great companies.
Holidays do help inject a different atmosphere but holidays arent the only one to add colours to daily lives.
Chu yi is always to visit the paternal relatives who converse in half teochew and half hokkien. Defining loud laughters and reminiscing olden times in kampong. It's of real fun to understand the life of the previous generation. The generation of the baby boomers. Being part of the rich history of spore. 百听不厌 indeed. Their mannerism, despite 不属于文雅 但有豪放的感觉. They arent usually like that in everyday life but when they gather. This is the scene. N thanks to dear cousin for her great cooking skills n great company, her weird fetish at games n weird thots in determining her moves 让我们强颜欢笑. Her fren quite brave to come over to fill in the empty seat my bro in germany this yr has left behind. Also congrats to cousin-in-law who is due for delivery soon. Hope i dont appear too scaredy cat as i keep askin her not to move so much, jus let pple serve.
Chu er for maternal side, tks to my dear aunt for the great hospitality and food as usual. Joining in any topic under the sun, this bond remains strong. Doing everyday stuff like being dragged to the park but this time all of us in dresses instead of shorts and still have to climb up and down at the playgrd with them. Video conf with bro whose lessons continue in freiburg. Hope that waking up during the wee hours on ur side to bai nian over the internet creates a little fun in the cold winter over there.
Despite dreading going back to work , wishes prompted longer conversations to catch up with old pals. The conversations n the interactions used to be an everyday event, and u know that it is in the past but these old events become a different injection today. Today is no longer so everyday. N also with great company to connect at the intellectual level n the kindness deeply felt with appreciation, or solitude with nature makes every working day not so everyday. Pattern breaking that is. With fun activities and dear companions in the wkends contributed to everyday being not so everyday, and every wk being not so every wk.
To me, this is good fortune.
