I’ve been COMPLETELY out of internet access at home for
almost 2 weeks & have since been abandoning the blog for a long time. All
files are entirely gone & pc is now as clean as new. Coupled with recent
Chinese New Year celebration, time has not been allocated for this site at all or
I should say I was just plain lazy, in
short.
Some said the year of Tiger might bring about turbulence than harmony. What is then ahead for me as tiger
myself. Some facts I found described that
I would need to find lots of
encouragement within me or might be faced with disappointments instead. Anyway,
I’ve never read anything good in written for people who are born in the year of
Tiger.
Dreaded to think what would the CNY be after a crisis filled
2009 and did not even know what’s the right etiquette for a new divorcee, I
feared the celebration might bring more sadness than happiness. I feared so
much that I’ve to release my son for him to go back to his paternal side,
leaving me without him during such an enormous celebration shall be
devastating. Eventually, I braved myself to go ahead, celebrating like I’ve
been a part of the family still. I told myself I’ve to treasure every moment I
have with my former in-law family as it might not mean the same every year
& there is also possibility of not joining them again in the upcoming
years. Thus, I’m treating it like my last celebration with my former in-law
family.
Nonetheless, the year started positively & roaring with
great excitement, filling up with exquisitely fun-filled private ‘family’
events. Domestic type of gathering with serving of great food, loads of
alcohol, lots of money changing hands (as in gambling) and meeting up nice
people were the fun of this year.
One of the highlight during the CNY holiday would be their
so-called 2nd generation cousins
gathering. I was more than proud to be invited either as guest or as family
which I don’t even know but I seriously felt honored to be in there among the
youngsters. It was just merely simple dinner & coffee but good sweet moment
usually passed faster than ever. If it were not because of Pin Yin, the event
would not be this successful. I wanted so much to capture some of the moments
in lenses but it might be weird for my position to do so & I believe they
might be uncomfortable too. Thus, pics below are ‘stolen’ one. Photo courtesy from Myhong
Cheers for a better year ahead!
Got to have cuppa before calling it the nite.
I don’t know what will be ahead of me but moving forward, I
still wish to see these beautiful people & perhaps wish I can be a host too
for them to gather at my place. Happy Chinese New Year to ALL.
