Post CNY

Long awaited CNY has come to an end. SBS bus reaches on time, SMRT continues to send people to destinations, everything goes back to normal (but I din see the sun starts working in Singapore yet)
This CNY was good, although it's different from what I expected.
I guess at different stage of life, same festival carries different significance.
Well, when I was young, angpao was always the greatest concern. I tried to clock as many houses as possible to get more angpao, because CNY is the only time to grab free money.
Then now, because everyone starts working, home coming becomes something very rare.
Being able to meet friends gives me the greatest joy in this CNY.
We talked a lot, drank a lot and laughed a lot. Topics changed from school to work, assignment to money making, lecturers to bosses, holidays to leave taking.

I won't complain about these changes, it's part of the journey of life.
In fact, having these friends in my chapters, the same character for the book since chapter 1, I feel glad and proud. It's like seeing Emma Watson in Harry Potter 1 to 9 or 12, I dont know, I dont follow, but that's the idea.

So, CNY has became a publicly accepted reason for gathering, meeting up and staying up late with friends.
I really think that everyone should put in effort to gather, at least for an hour in 初一or初二 to sustain the friendship. Regardless of which field we are in now, we all built the purest and strongest foundation ten fifteen years back, when we do no foresee what's going to happen. In Civil Engineering aspect, we were like building hundreds of pile foundations into the granite. So, really, these kind of hard and rigid foundation can take any kind of buildings, regardless of the types, shapes or functions.

And yeah, a snapshot with the childhood friends

Early CNY post!

hey ya! I'm back!
Chinese New Year is just around the corner! OMG! cant wait! I love it so much!
Probably because I'm a kampung boy, and the celebration at my hometown is so much more fun and happening compared to others (when I asked my friends how do they celebrate?)
All my friends will be back and we will visit each other house, and dad will be hosting an open house!
ya, that's for the day!
Night? I dont know since when black label become the drink is served by the host of the house. But it is fun! get drunk and play game and get drunk, the cycle repeats infinitely.
Oh ya, taking family photo and photo with friends! comparing with previous years to see how much I've grown up or older. Nah, I look forever 18 :DDD
But sis wont be celebrating with us this year. whenever I think about this, I will feel a sudden sadness in my heart. It's really sad to see everyone celebrating CNY but she alone staying abroad. hopefully her group of friends do celebrate in Canada!

And yea! I'm already in CNY mode/mood! Keep spreading this excitement everywhere! And I even decorated my hostel room! OMG! I'm just too excited!
