恭喜发财 everyone!!

my sister was telling me about the usual festivities back home..it feels sad to not be a part of it all..but we take what we can get right? my week really wasn't too bad..reunion dinner night was rainy and cold in sydney..perfect weather for a hotpot dinner! and i'm glad that although i'm not home with family and friends..i still got to spend cny with people i care about here:) hmm but still...of course it feels different here..no lunch at mama's place on the first day..no reunion dinner with the cousins..no endless supply of cny goodies..no mandarins and gaudy flower arrangements that my mom usually decorates the house with..no ANG PAOS. hahaha..well actually..my sis did mention that she's been collecting my share of the loot..so sweet of my relatives to not forget about me:) I guess its one of the advantages of being one of 3 sisters..all the aunties and uncles usually think of us as a set i suppose. so its glaringly obvious that i'm missing..hahah anyway its nice to be remembered:)

i like being chinese:) i like how the family gathers around to eat together at the end of a day..i like dumplings, paos & prawn mee..i like chinese 词语s and how sometimes a 词语 just seems to aptly describe a moment in no way i can describe in english. i think my chinese name is nice:) i like giving tea and mandarins to my grandma every cny and telling her 身体健康! 万事如意! i think cantonese sound cool and i wish i knew how to speak more of it:) i love lanterns during mooncake festival and i think cheongsams are pretty:)

heh. anyway enough rambling. 新年快乐 everyone!!
