Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year always held a special place in my heart. Except for maybe a couple of years ago when I just doesn’t appreciate it that much. Seen a couple of blog post about my grumbles of New Year and it now seems so foolish, juvenile. I was pretty upset and gotten real bored with a couple of New Year, couples with my vengeances for having to be back here top the iceberg.
But this new year, all the kids have grown up to be mature adult. We learnt to appreciate the however little moments/time we are together. Maybe it is the time apart that makes us all realize that no matter how different we are or want to be, there is only one family and they are the one that matters. I used to get all nostalgic when I talk about my cousins. They make a vital part of my childhood and they are the very persons that make it really enjoyable.
Back to the new year, our family been a special one, none of the convention or conservative type. We all learnt in the most innovative ways that somehow makes us who we all are today. Global exposure plus country exposure makes us different. The honesty and truthfulness in the family is a virtue that we all are equipped with. Usually single people avoid new year like plague as they will be face with the age-old cliché question, “when are you getting Married?’ but in my family, that is never a question though we are all single and hitting the big 30. Our parents are believers that marriage is not everything, not a security deposit, not a safety net. The person that we married to have to be of assistance to us either in work or characters. We don’t have to marry a rich person that we live out of his wealth. Nor a pretty vase. But someone that can truly integrate into our family.
I know that maybe another 5 years down the road we are all going to be completely different, with different focus and agenda in life. But I truly believe that the special bonding we had built are age old and able to fight though the ages.
