Chinese New Year is round the corner! Woohoo~ Aren't we all excited? Haha... Okie... Actually there is not much to be excited about for CNY except that you will see lots of pretty decorations at home. My mum is quite enthu about CNY decorations at home. Haha...

I woke up early in the morning to go to the temple with my mum to pay our respects to our ancestors. We have an ancestors board in the temple and we pay the temple annually to have it there. Every chinese festival, my mum will cook a spread and bring it over to the temple to offer it to our ancestors. I haven't been there for quite some time to pay my respects to my ancestors. I miss Ah gong and Uncle. I used to be very close to them but they departed before I moved on to secondary school. I could still remember that I wrote a winning chinese essay for my uncle in secondary two. It was published somewhere. I wonder if its still in those model essays books. Anyhows, whenever I am there, I realized how much I have grown these years. But no matter how much I have aged, I will pray for the same thing in front of the ancestor board.

CNY has never been a joyous occassion for me since young. My relatives are not exactly nice people. And well life is complicated but one thing I always come to realize during CNY when I meet those not exactly nice people is that people can really get so practical that kinship gets really superficial? No need to elaborate on that. But I am happy that my family stays united and we are quite close in a not so close way. If you get what I mean. Haha... Alrighty. Thats all... Stay happy, life gets better. If you are bored think of better things to do, relfect on the things you say, you do and your intentions for doing and saying those things. Most importantly be responsible for what you say and what you do. Be true to yourself.
