Happy 牛 Year to all!

its chu san already, and i'm blogging here so late in the night cos i only got home around 3am... welll its funny that i reached home earlier on chu yi than on chu er, considering the fact that tmr will be a working day... anyway, went 2nd uncle's house as usual yesterday, reached there quite late, but left rather early around 11+, probably cos there's no gambling lol...

visited a few houses today with deary, and ate alot lol, then stayed at 4th aunt's house till 3am hhaha.. gambled a little (that's why we're able to stay till so late lol) still in cny mood, luckily its e-learning week for me, so i have got a whole week's break... gonna enjoy myself this week...

这两天都在忙着家务事,准备薄饼的菜、炒薄饼的馅料等,都帮妈妈分担。这薄饼可算是我们的家传菜,因为是由我婆婆传给我妈妈的。爸爸从小到大都吃着婆婆做的薄饼,而我们三兄妹也是从小就吃着妈妈做的薄饼长大。每一年,吃团圆饭前的两三天,我们一家就会齐聚一堂,一起切菜(虽然我不记得是从几岁开始这么做)。总之,从我有记忆开始,就记得我们年年都会制作薄饼。我喜欢这种其乐融融的感觉、这种一家人齐聚一堂欢乐度年的感觉。明天(其实是今天)是年除夕,要和家人吃团圆饭。每年都视这为理所当然,却没想过,其实有很多人都无法高高兴兴地坐下来吃一顿团圆饭。对那些丧失亲人/无法回家团圆的人来说,我们是幸福的。能够一家合乐地在一起,是幸福的!

如果你身边有家人陪伴着你,你也是幸福的!所以,无论你有多郁闷、多惆怅,应该想想,你比很多人都来得幸福。这一切并不是永久的,所以一定要好好珍惜,好好把握与家人共处的时光。

刚到俊凯的家吃团圆饭,然后便和爸爸妈妈到勿洛和义顺逛,感受浓烈的新年气氛。才发现,虽然到处都有人朝,但却不如往年多,可说是一年不如一年了。总觉得很奇怪,为什么有人对农历新年那么不重视、不在意,甚至是厌恶农历新年?这是华族唯一一个被保存下来,并且大肆庆祝的传统节日。身为华人,不是应该继续秉承这种传统吗?难道现今社会人人都崇洋媚外,希望舍弃这种传统吗?

不管怎样,我仍然喜爱农历新年的一切——歌曲、装饰、食品、习俗等。希望这种传统不会逝去,能够悠久无疆!

4. GPA of 3.8 and above
5. Treat my parents on overseas trip: China-Kunming,Dali
6. More exercise and lose some weight

First of all, Happy New Year to all my blog readers! May everything be smooth sailing for you and your family in the year 2009!

New Year's eve was a memorable one... started the day off by having tuition for my nephew, then met up with Deary for lunch at Compass Point, got myself a pair of Levi's Jeans also, haha first time I spent so much on clothing lol. had lunch at Curry-san, the food was nice slurps... went off to tiong bahru plaza to get ingredients to prepare dinner at deary's house... i cooked gong bao ji ding and croquette, while he cooked a soup and a vege... think the chicken is a little too spicy for him and his dad, but luckily his mum and god-sis say its quite nice... haha the apple-tomato-tofu-fish soup he cooked was nice too also its a little weird combi...

we walked to lib to return books after dinner then jogged back to his house.... then i look thru his photos when he was young, and watched fireworks at his house before heading home.. it was a great day ^_^

watched Ip Man today after KBOX at downtown east... the show was great! highly recommended haha really a nice show...

school holidays coming to an end alr.. although its only been a short month break, i'm glad that i spent it happily with my loved ones... China trip with family, gatherings and x'mas celebrations with long time no see friends, and days spent with Deary... hopefully everything will go on well in the new semester!

In the coming new year, just hoped that everyone around me will be blessed with good health and happiness!
