i feel it in my fingers, i feel it in my toes~~

i didn't really realise that...it's February already!!!!!!!! ahhh!!!!

this is exactly what i meant when i skyped with mum and dad..

Me: Aiya... time will pass so fast ..whoooosh!!! and it'll be May and i'll be home~~ :D :D
Dad: oi.. you better don't whoosh here whoosh there.. study come first ok!
Me: i know -.- ....

And since it's February...it just means i'm that much closer to going home...whee!!! i still don't think i'm homesick..it's just something to look forward to :3

but i guess the CNY feel is starting to creep up on me...

A bunch of Malaysians organised a reunion dinner and i was invited to join them.. all of them were actuarial science students though..hehe..

We had yee sang and quite a few dishes to feast on..there was even soup!! sure, it didn't taste like mum's cooking.. (mum's cooking is hard to beat anyway ;D ) but the food was really good.. and there was even ba gua which one of the girls made...

with today being CNY eve.. some memory of what we always do popped into my head... mum would probably be cooking either late into the night or she'd get up early in the morning to finish up the cooking.. sometimes i could help mum out.. sometimes i'd just be a disturbance if i went into the ktichen..haha..

through the years, our family CNY eve reunion dinner group got slightly smaller.. cous got married and it was only natural that she had reunion dinner with her husband's family.. i think there'd only be 8 or 9 of us?? i guess this year it'll be an even smaller group with me and bro away...

but of course, CNY being 15 days long, we'd have the opportunity to have the big family dinner.. that's possibly one of the best things about CNY i guess.. coz even though we don't usually need reasons to have the big family dinners (we actually do it quite often), CNY is one of the times when everyone in the family will be free :)

i think what i really miss right now is being in the kitchen with mum, nuisance or not..
and also those TV programmes they show during CNY... and prawn crackers...and snacks in the jars that aunt will always have on the table for guests..CNY cookies.. packet drinks..100 plus.. family...friends... the heat at grandma's house (it's always hot when we visit during CNY :/ ) the shopping centres with CNY decor and music... and of course, dad blasting the CNY tunes from the same CDs he's been using since we were little kids.. ah...good times...


Happy CNY everybody :)
