with CNY around the corner, it just dawned on me that, i'm not really a holiday person...
what i mean by that is that it's not that i don't LIKE holidays....
it's just that i don't ADORE them...
it's just that i don't feel overwhelmingly ENTHUSIASTIC about them...
to me it's just a couple of days off school... work...
whatever you're supposed to be doing in your normal routine...
where you can bum around and do pretty much whatever you like and not have anyone, not even your conscience, nag at you...
==============================================
i mean there are really a few things that make CNY special compared to the rest of the other days off normal routine:
1. all the ang pows are gr8 of cos, an extra source of $$ that comes with a simple smile and greeting... not as hard as school or work definitely...
2. all the nice goodies offered on a platter in generous amounts... everywhere you go...even x'mas can't compare to the spirit, joy, & eagerness to share in CNY...
3. all the new & fanciful apparel and accessories that you guilt-freely purchase in bulk prior to the event... all the name of discarding the old & welcoming the new...
4. all the family members and loved ones whom you rarely speak to, are gathered together to celebrate the cross from one year to the other during the reunion dinner... no better excuse to get everyone together in one room...
============================================
it's reaching the end of my (monkey) year
and going on to my bro's (rooster) year
another year older
another year wiser
happy chinese new year to one and all/young and old/east and west!!!
(*@*)

============================================
peace out
same old becoming brand new soon in 5 day's time...
