Sorry i've been selfish! :(

Che just told me something. And when i heard it, i felt so guilty.

Why haven't i thought about this? Why was i so selfish?

All i had in mind was that i couldn't possibly take leave during this period of time. It'd be too difficult. It'd be too expensive. I've met my parents and my sister few months ago anyway. Christmas away from home was bearable, I'll surely be alright being away from home for Chinese New Year too. Plus, I won't wanna go through all the crying and stuff when i have to leave...

But why have i never thought about my grandparents? Why?

Sorry po to put a tear on your face when i called home the other day. It's supposed to be a joyous celebration, both the new year and your birthday.

Sorry to have only thought about myself.

I promise i will never ever miss another chinese new year with you all again...

and i don't want to be the only one missing from the family reunion, ever again.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Just thought i'll drop a note here to keep track of time! Today's the 3rd day of CNY and it's the first time i'm away from home for CNY. I realised i've missed alot being away from home, such as my cousins' weddings and the birth of my cousins' children.

But, guess i just need to keep reminding myself why i'm here.

Too busy to blog nowadays. If i have the slightest bit of extra time, i'll do something to give my brain a break like watching dramas :p I have sooo little time for myself now having to work 8 hours a day and then come home to tonnes of homework for my internship.

We had a reunion dinner at home with garlic prawns, fatt choi mushroom with bokchoy, pork ribs, chicken wings, mixed vege, lotus root and squid soup, super spicy sze chuan fish, and lychee konyaku jelly. yums! thank you Lord that you've given me this opportunity to celebrate CNY away from home. I do miss home tho. Alot. :(

Being away from home has made me appreciate my family more. And today, i thanked God for placing me in a christian family.

Po, happy birthday. Kung, please get well soon. Yees and Kiu, miss your silliness so much. To all my dearest cousins, wish i was there for all that fun. I hope i won't miss another CNY at home. Nothing beats being around loved ones.

Sending home much love from hobart this CNY. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
