The Chinese New Year in 2011

The CNY 2011 is the most inspiring one. Instead of keep on eating and sleeping and idle-ing non stop, i've been thinking a lot.

The very first day, we all dressed up, just like every year, we went to the temple, but we no longer pray in the temple, we took photos and photos outside the temple, thats the new tradition. And then we went to the tea estate for brunch, again, the new tradition. And then, we went to a former church, now a convent school to take photos. It might be the last photo-shooting time with sister on CHU 1. She's getting married this year, she can't come back for chinese new year with us next year, the year after, and the year after and the year after... I hate this chinese tradition.

The second day, again we dressed up and went to the same spot for photo-shooting, as memories. We went for a walk to my old house, where i used to live in since i was born until i was 7 years old. Things remained unchanged. The only thing that had changed is me, grown up, and everything there seems to be smaller than what i remembered.

The third day, the most memorable one. I got food poison! Got fever and vomiting since morning, went to the clinic for an injection to stop the vomit, but didn't got better. End up, I eat nothing but porridge and milo for the whole day, then vomit them out. I did nothing but stay in the bed whole day, controlling the vomit. Great. Whether its good or bad? The sickest cny, but i didnt gained weight, lose weight instead.

This CNY, clearly shown the children had all grown up, the adults are aging. We used to drink and get drunk during cny, all the adults, and children used to play kids games.

But this year, its totally different. The adult didn't drink because their body can't afford them to do so. The children didn't play kids games, but they gamble.

I missed the way we used to celebrate cny.

The thing remained unchanged is, there's still a lot of gossips in the big house, with a lot of people. Which is not a good thing. Shouldn't we as a family love each other?

However, the world change, things change, people change.

Everyone moved on, so we too should move on.

Learn to accept and adapt to changes.
