i was never a fan of the festive season...especially the Chinese New Year...however this year i was pretty excited about it, after 2 years spending it couped up in my room, unbelievably searching for chinese new year songs on Youtube..this year i get to spend it with family and friends....i was pretty worked up for it:)
reunion dinners - on the eve of chinese year is really a big thing in my family...unlike many that will have dinner and rush off to see friends, go clubbing....my reunion normally lasts til the wee hours...and that is why normally i would miss the first half of the day of Chinese New year....this year is no exception...
this year, is a little different as it coincide with Valentine's Day...how great is that...it actually toned down the commercial craziness of Valentine's Day....and how great it is that it means i won't be spending it alone:) i am not those who weeps for not having flowers or a date...however it's sickening sometimes to be in the Asian circle where Valentine's Day becomes a benchmark for status, for establishing your self in a respected / general circle.....so....one heave of relieve....i wish Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day could be on the same day ever after:)
with that note....i promised myself this year i will try to get my camera out more...and really get some shots of this beautiful cultural festivity....keeping my fingers crossed that i will not end up hungover for 15 days.....
