Chapter 14: CNY, Be Thankful

Chinese New Year is around the corner, which means, its "harvest" time!! It's like dream to every kids and youth for CNY because they can get $$ from other married ones and without knowing their parents are one of them too....=.="

Oh well, that was my thinking over the past, though now i'm still longing for it just because i hope to get more "blessings" (ang pow lar, huiyo) from my uncles and aunties, haha, still the small kid though...... Strangely, wonder why this year i can't feel the new year atmosphere, it seems to be getting down and down. i still remember last time my neighbour used to blast new year songs with karaoke, and not forgetting the fire crackers and fire works. But recently, the atmosphere seem to be......down. Frankly speaking i only knew that new year was around by this Monday (8th Feb). Perhaps i'm working too hard? nah, nope, or is it my mind was full of stuff, maybe......But still, new year is one thing we as a Chinese, should celebrate with happiness.

Well, going for our reunion dinner this Saturday, with our three "Hing" families together. Though its just 3 families, but we're quite close among each other. Chat, talk, yell, scream, whatever...haha, still, we're close. Thus i'm learning to be thankful, that i have such wonderful families, knowing out there there are some people who don't go back for reunion dinner, some whose families are far away, overseas maybe; or some who are very busy, till they have no time for reunion dinner; or some family bonds are not close, relationship problems; or some who doesn't have a family too.

Hence let us be thankful, thankful for what we have, and not just eat, drink and play, and forgetting those who are in need. Be thankful.......
