A Week before CNY~~~

Yoik...Another new year for Chinese is coming up just after a week, but this year I dont really got heart to celebrate because of my family is not around me and I cant celebrate with them...This is the first year dont celebrate my CNY with my cousin and family...Therefore, sure got a bit of upset, as in Chinese phrases, there is one phrase called "独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲"...

Every year at this time, I mean one week before CNY, my parents will busy preparing or buying things to celebrate CNY such as Mandarin oranges, ingredients for CNY's Eve (during this period, all the ingredients will increase the price especially sea-food), and some others decorations...Haiz...miss the smell of the Mandarin Oranges which filled all my house...Missing the time all of my cousins sat together and chatting while gambling...And the most thing to miss is "angpao" (red paper pocket)....haha...

At UK, the BBC here dont exactly celebrate this event, but they do know the traditional of CNY, which is all the family members should gather together and have dinner together...Ya, Chinese like to be "团圆" no matter how far the children they live, at this event, most of the children will try their best to come back to their parents house and celebrate this happy and meaningful event together...Haiz, this year, two of my family members are not at Malaysia and cannot celebrate this event with my parents, that are me and my elder brother who are now at Australia...

Actually, I am planning to have a dinner with the Malaysian Chinese around my area, but dont know they want it or not, just hoping they will like to have steambot if there are many of us...

PS: Sorry, Pa and Ma, I cant celebrate with you two since I dont have holiday during CNY, wish you two have healthy body lor....So do my brothers~~~~
