yay finally we had our humcha lunch for cny! helped out my mum with preparation, and also took photos! so this will just be a photo thingy.

This year's cny has been the most different and probably the most enjoyable one i've had during the recent years.

some traditions were lost, reunion dinner was brought forward, and on cny eve itself we had steamboat. the first ever in my house. also the wasn't any 擂茶on初二, neither was there dinner at an aunt's place, or any cny games.

well i guess it only makes u value these cny gatherings more, and really, as time goes on, it will have to be the younger generation trying to keep things going, if we want any of the remaining stuff to still be there in 5 years, 10 years, or more.

meeting up with my cousins, playing with the baby nieces were of course enjoyable, esp when i don't see them that much nowadays, but what felt more special were the other events, stuff like going back to chinese high and hwachong with sophie, meeting up with the co ppl, k-boxing with cousins, humcha with the mum's friends...

i guess it's relieving to know that i still have something outside medicine, where whatever we talk about has nothing to do with medicine. no talk about medical terms, so oh-so-annoying medicine related jokes, and stuff like that. oh and also where there's more to talk about besides my scandals (i guess that's because we have more stuff to talk about since we dun meet up that mucH)

OH AND I FINISHED 2 JDRAMAS THIS CNY BREAK!! namely nodame cantible (thks to rina) and nobuta wo produce (i guess jinx would know this) jdramas are so so so nice! and thks to nodame, there's suddenly this urge to be in an orchestra, and more strongly, an urge to play the piano again!!
