Chinese New Year. Hmm what is the meaning of it? To some its just a holiday, to some its just red packet collection, to some its a festive occassion which brings a family together. Sometimes I feel envious when people tell me they are so tired from visiting, like stop complaining? Cos you don't know how lucky you're to be able to see the rest of your extended family at least once a year. There are people, like me, who don't get a chance to. Every year its a small family affair. Not that I'm complaining, its just I miss those days of going back to Ipoh, meeting up with relatives on my dad's side. The extravagant affair of have a huge dinner and being seperated by tables, one for adults and one for kids. At least during those times that I remember is when I'm still a child. Now we would all be adults. It has been a long time I guess. Not only that, the after dinner sitting around, children running outside to play with fire crackers, running away when the p0lice comes. Its such fun to be part of a big family. I am part of a big family, but that big family is in parts right now.
Sibling rivalry is deadly.
