It’s the 2nd day of Chinese New Year, and it has been HOT HOT HOT! Of course, back in Malaysia, it was extraordinarily hot. As we went visiting relatives, I would really dread going into the super hot car, especially with crisp new clothes on. It was excruciatingly hot. Parking a car under the shade of tree was the most coveted spot of all. But it’s hard to find, since we always visited in a huge group, which meant, many cars. That’s one thing I really missed about CNY. Going all over the town, visiting our extended relatives, with our cousins, and aunties and uncles. We also had a tradition of taking a huge family photo every year. And we would see ourselves grow in those photos. Pretty cool.
Missing it all so much, I have resorted to looking up CNY videos on youtube. And it is just great that you can actually download vids now via youtube downloader, so I can mix it up, and play it for my kids. Of course, it’s all in a different language, and my kids really get a kick out of listening to kids their age, but in a different language.
I wonder what my kids will remember of their CNY celebrations. Not much, I suppose. Since we don’t do much visiting around here.
Well.. Happy Chinese New Year..and I hope this year of dragon will bring much luck, happiness and health to all of you.
