All the change for the better. Changing just one thing, changes everything. It is because of it, that I started the year 2010 with much light and confidence. Hopefully, this will be my answer to a great beginning.
It has been awhile since I pumped the volume up to Eminem’s soundtracks. Gorgeous. The reason why I believe many are so into him and his music is through his lyrics. Authenticity. It is his imperfection that drew me to his music. His different style of writing and approach only makes him the more indifferent from the rest of us. Relatable in so many ways that you can imagine.
Anyways, this post was set to be published a month ago, unfortunately was left drafted and hidden away. So yeah, Chinese New Year! Had my reunion dinner with my awesome family yesterday, it was rare to have everyone sitted on one particular table just to have a proper dinner. As we grew older, most of us grew apart yet some grew closer as we aged. I felt comfortable with my awesome cousins, I love seeing all the happy faces! Oh, my amazing grandmother! Even with her Alzheimer's Disease, nothing could stop her from the idea of raising her glass, initiating we all did the same. Do your grandmother blow kisses to you too?! hehehhe! Icing on the cake! Aside everything, she’s the main reason why we’re all home and together as a family.
The only one regret I have is not knowing my paternal grandfather who unfortunately passed away months before I was to be born, how I perceived him all these years are only based on words and stories told by my family, yet I’m glad he knew I existed and on the way to this great family. I’m only sorry we’ve not met. Hence the reason why I never failed to visit his urn every festive season.
Moving on, 1st day of CNY! headed to kaikan for CNY chanting and my oh my, the entertainment was brilliant! The sketch was hilarious! What more seeing your classmate up on the stage making you laugh? Soon after, it was time to return to my maternal side for lunch! Nothing beats homecook food! I love my grandma’s cooking, it has this homey feel to it. Can you feel the love? haha. She had to cook many rounds as many of my uncle’s friends attended as they do every year without fail just for my grandma’s cooking. It seems like every family are expanding! More and more kids this year! Oh my! Lastly, I’mma end the post for the night, gotta head off to my grandaunt’s place early later for some REAL hakka food! Wheeee can’t wait. Pardon for grammar and construction sentences. I’m dozing off. Nights!
Oh, and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! : )
Rachel.
