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
