This year will be one of my last year to celebrate Chinese New Year in Malaysia before I re-locate to US. As such, it is such a heart warming experience to be among the company of family members. I took this opportunity to spend more time with my aging grandparents.
Chinese New Year has taken on a new meaning when I became Christian about 6 years back. It’s no longer about preparation to usher in the new year with a lot of emphasis on the prayer preparation but more so to meet up with family members whom I rarely see now as I lived in KL.
I loves to meet up with all my relatives and cousins and to catch up on what is everyone doing now. Most of them are staying far from each other and some are in overseas but this is the opportunity that we have to meet.
Obviously, there are a lot of get-together and food is a big part of the celebration. How can we forgo that when it comes to occasion like this? And yes, we also do have firecrackers though I am not a fan of it now.
So, how does your Chinese New Year goes? I am enjoying every moment of it.
I am typing this on my flight to Sibu to continue the celebration. After all, Chinese New Year last for 15 days!
