At last, Chinese New Year celebration come to an end. I guess we Chinese actually own the longest celebrated festival ( for almost 15 days) or even more than that.
I don't know what it mean to others.
Reunion?
Joy and fun?
Eat..eat..and eat?
Killing weather with furious Sun?
Ang Pau and fireworks?
Well, for me..Reunion suits the best for this auspicious day.
Maybe I do gain some (or perhaps, a lot!!) weight for the extra chips and snacks throughout the season...
Yet, I think being together and be one for the time of this celebration is much seen and felt.
Especially since I study in Shah Alam, the meaning of home no longer just mean to provide a physical shelter, but surely more than that.
Brothers and sisters coming back and seeing each other after a long time.
We see how each other busy preparing for the "Red Day" yet sharing the laughters and fun.
And that is all about Chinese New Year for the first few days.
But, WAIT!!
How about reunion and meeting with the 'late' or those who have leave us.
Yea, they are not forgotten too.
Every year, my family and I shall visit and clean my paternal grandparents' grave, a few days before CNY.
This year, my Dad forgotten. But we still make it. On the first day of CNY.
Yea, you can say its very PANTANG and I shall be bad luck for the whole year.
But, where will we be without them?
Not only the dead ones. It's a family tradition to go for a mass praying to show our gratitude to God for their blessing throughout the year.
So, as usual, as the leading role in the House, I went with my father after Reunion Dinner to exactly 7 temples and saying Hi to every type of God- from Heaven to Hell.
Visiting relatives...and many said I am getting fatter. Don't know it means GOOD or BAD?
GOOD- I am enjoying life in Cendana and the food is great
BAD- Something is going out of way!!
Visit friends and friends visit me.
Dih..daa..dih..daa..there goes 1 week of Chinese New Year.
Well, perhaps this year New Year is as good as previous years.
But, I will be looking forward for next year, before I will be flying (hopefully) and celebrate my next CNY in India. =P
