As i was typing this, the time shows 7.43pm and it's the Chinese New Year Eve. This is definitely one of the stranger moment in my life as i normally have reunion dinner with my family at this hour. Celebrating Chinese New Year at hubby's place for the 1st year is all different as we had our reunion dinner at 5pm! We finished dinner at 6pm where the sky is still bright and hubby together with his parents are busy cleaning the house for the final round whilst i am left idling. So here i am writing this post, feeling a wee bit disconnect from the world as i never had such space & time for myself on a Chinese New Year Eve.
I remembered when i was still in primary school, Dad would played a game with us on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. The game was simple yet we anticipate the most as a child. Each of my siblings and i would pick a number and each number entitles us to draw an angpow with a different amount in it. I remembered how we squealed in excitement and our laughters still rang in my memories. How I missed that very moment. I did not miss having reunion dinner with my family though as i know i will be seeing them soon enough, i.e on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year.
Here wishing everyone a Happy Reunion Dinner. I hope your home is filled with peace, harmony, love, unity and faith. Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!
Some pictures snapped earlier to end this post:-

Food is like artwork in the photos you took. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the 1st picture too. Hubby meticulously arranged them and i helped. We kept changing plates to get the best presentation as the 1st two plates used were too small to acommodate so much food. It may looks small in the pic but it's a huge plate. ;-))
